Try resizing a browser window with nested a flex layout.
Should you optimize for resize performance? I guess that depends on the app. Use the tool that fits the requirements.

> Any consolidation like this seems like a negative for consumers
This is a very common narrative to this news. But coming into this news, I think the most common narrative against streaming was essentially "There is not enough consolidation." People were happy when Netflix was the streaming service, but then everyone pulled their content and have their own (Disney, Paramount, etc.)
The problem is content exclusivity. It would be great if all the content or at least most would be available on all platforms. At least eventually. That would be great for consumers. Mergers like this typically not.
tim1994 commented on How good engineers write bad code at big companies seangoedecke.com/bad-code... · Posted by u/gfysfm
I don't really buy that this is the main reason. A good senior engineer is for the most part able to not write bad code from day one, just at a very low speed and with the need to ask other people frequenyly. Even if you do not know the code base or domain yet there are a lot of things you can do to avoid writing bad code. Yes, as someone new you will make mistakes and misunderstand things but a lot of the bad code I have personally seen has not been caused by that. Most bad code I have seen has been caused by people rushing and not having their fundamentals in order. Like not actually doing reviews, not spending a few extra hours to think about architecture, etc. Also a big issue is that people just let the complexity of systems explode for the gain of short term projects.
I think the issue is more that engineers face unreasonable pressure to deliver short term value and that there is no respect for the craft/engineering from many managers or even engineers.
Another reason I can think of is the requirement not to introduce a breaking change. It is very frustrating if the codebase has a lot of hacky/bad code in it but a lot of it can't be changed...

Why not take it further and not update dependencies at all until you need to because of some missing feature or systems compatibility you need? If it works it works.
Because updates don't just include new features but also bug and security fixes. As always, it probably depends on the context how relevant this is to you. I agree that cooldown is a good idea though.

Private individuals generally aren't systematically using their cameras for mass surveillance of you. The government is.

Companies too.
Have you used Grok or ChatGPT in the last year? I can't remember the last time I got a nonsense response. Do you have a recent example?
I think the problem is that they cannot communicate that they don't know something and instead make up some BS that sounds somewhat reasonable. Probably due to how they are built. I notice this regularly when asking questions about new web platform features and there is not enough information in the training data.
What if we collectively decide to use the web alternatives for banking?
We lose some convinience since they are generally desktop oriented, but they don't check who signed my kernel
Ain't gonna happen (unfortunately). Somehow people (outside of HN) seem to like to use apps for everything. EVERYTHING.

Application error
An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. You can do this from the Heroku CLI with the command
heroku logs --tail
I also get this. Firefox on Android in Germany.
tim1994 commented on Show HN: Most users won't report bugs unless you make it stupidly easy · Posted by u/lakshikag
A couple of years ago I played PUBG which crashed occasionally. I rarely submitted bugs, even if it was as simple as pressing a button in the crash reporter. This is because sending the bug report took a while and blocked you from restarting and rejoining the ongoing game. This applies mostly to multiplayer games but if your app has a crash reporter, give the user a chance to restart the app and report the bug later.

Interesting read for sure! This is about ChromeOS though, Chrome on other platforms was not affected.
