If you can achieve the desired UX on web, I see few reasons to build a native app. But of course it can be hard to work with web technology sometimes; Javascript and WASM can’t do everything and they aren’t the best developer experience compared to more moderns languages.

Even for offline usage, there is increasing support for progressive web apps. For example, I don’t even need to be connected to the internet to use Exaclidraw after I’ve loaded the app once and installed it as a PWA.

Then there are times when you simply need access to native platform APIs. SQLite is a a very important technology that isn’t easily used from a web app. Most of the powerful APIs you get from an OS like the file system or graphics APIs are extremely watered down for the web.

JS is a lost cause.

Can we start a new web with a better language/platform already?

You say that like it can’t also happen to symbol names.

I don’t take issue with the animations per se. They could be faster and transfer input immediately, and I would take no issue.

The real crime is how MacOS window animations take forever and don’t switch input focus immediately.

Does anyone know if there’s a domain blocklist for smart TV telemetry? If so, I could easily put it into my DNS server, like I already do for ads.

I’d like to continue using my streaming apps without resorting to yet another device. I have an HTPC that runs KODI but I think it’d be a pain to replace all of my streaming apps.

I’m perfectly happy to build my own NAS with NixOS and ZFS on it. I think it’s mostly a matter of getting the right hardware.

My biggest shortcoming at the moment is my NAS is also my gaming PC. It’s pretty inefficient to have that on all the time. But I haven’t had the time to build a dedicated NAS.

If being asked to confirm that you have not committed war crimes makes you uncomfortable, then you might be a war criminal.

I’m pretty sure Japan’s immigration asks if you’ve ever been convicted of a crime, so how is this any different?

ntopng has all of that. I’m currently hosting it on my home router.

Yea instead of firing you they’ll try their hardest to get you to quit. They’ll send you to the 追い出し部屋.

Alt-D, “chr”, Enter

Who am I kidding, I use Firefox.

I would take a look at LEAN4.

I definitely cannot get behind the “no recursion” rule. There are plenty of algorithms where the iterative equivalent is significantly harder and less natural. For example, post-order DFS.

I guess maybe when lives depend on it. But they should be testing and fuzzing their code anyway, right?

EDIT: I can’t even find in the NASA PDF where it mentions recursion.

If you go this route I recommend installing Kodi + Jellyfin Plugin + Kore Android App. You can control everything from your phone or laptop.

It’s the first sentence of the article.

Anyone that thinks they’re “coding on the go” with something of this form factor is kidding themselves.

I don’t think there is a world where Linux gains significant market share AND users care what sudo is. In order for Linux to be more mainstream, those kinds of details should not be the concern of laypeople. GUIs are what average people are able to stomach.
