That is the only source I could find as well but I also found others saying it was false and that Putin was lying and misguiding

Lmao then why not just say you don't like criminals, murderers, and Marxists. The focus on their Jewishness is suspect at the very least...

I'm pretty sure this isn't true but I'm curious, got a source? Afaik they were somewhat overrepresented but never a majority and only about 5% of party members were Jewish although percentages in leadership were slightly higher at around 15%

This is behind a paywall for me, but from what I saw, that seems like it might be for the best...

It blows my mind that there still isn't a polished ORM for the node.js / Express ecosystem.
There are multiple. Sequelize is the best and I've used it in a few projects

> iOS Safari lacks js web workers, webgl 2, WebRTC data channel, and many many others
Are you referring to service workers? I've been using web workers on iOS for years.
And iOS + mac safari have service workers now

As an end user it feels slow. If I hold my space bar on a website created in 1995, I can scan the entire page contents.
You'd still have blank spaces where large images are as they're loading on a slow connection

You have to wait for react to load and initialize on the client before an image can load.
images and everything else bc client-side rendering... not sure how this is an argument for not lazy-loading images though

You know what’s an almost ideal image component? <img>. Sure, browsers could be a little cleverer about prioritising image loading, and I wish everyone would prefer to slim their images down somewhat, but compared with all other attempts I have encountered (with no exceptions), <img> is almost ideal.
I unconditionally hate all scroll-based lazy loading of images. Any other forms of lazy loading of images such as you outline in this post I will also hate, p≥0.96. And attempts to be clever like detecting high latency and working otherwise in such situations normally mess up what I want to happen.
I’ve written about these things before and I’ll doubtless write about it again; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16518010 is the last time I wrote about it on HN and some discussion arose. (The previous time was on the SVG image placeholders article linked elsewhere in these comments.)
I much prefer a pixelated or blurry preview image first and then the real image instead of waiting 20 years for images to load staring at a blank page. i notice the perceived speed difference on websites that do this and those that don't. Medium does it well and this react component image approach is similar. And once it is loaded, it is an <img />
