What Hacker News says?
I have this same conversation most days at work! By the way, I agree with codedokode except for one thing. I believe it should have been implemented in plain HTML but enhanced with JS. Works for everyone. Even the 5%. https://kryogenix.org/code/browser/everyonehasjs.html

HN discussionI literally paused reading when I read this simply put exact statement. I try to focus on minimal, simple apis and preach it to developers and clients for quick integration and maintenance. Now I have this powerful statement to save hours of explaining mainly to non technical people. I have always thought this but never so crisp and to the point. We need t-shirts. Doing a quick search of Google, it appears a few oth…

HN discussionDefinitely. The situation on iOS is much worse than it ever was on Windows. Apple is banning all competition in the browser space on more than 1 billion devices worldwide. Antitrust legislators would surely be very interested in this if they were aware of the issue, but most of them probably aren't yet. Some people have been talking to regulators, like Stuart Langridge and Bruce Lawson to the UK regulator, the CMA.…

HN discussionIgnoring the people who use some sort of blocking, everyone effectively has JavaScript disabled until it loads. I don't have JavaScript disabled by default but I notice this regularly when pages either take a very long time to render or never do because something (network, origin server) has an error: http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/everyonehasjs.html

HN discussionEarlier this year I got a ReSpeaker mic for video conferencing, and it's been working great! I did have to upload the latest firmware once I got it. I then combined it with NoiseTorch for a basically perfect video chatting experience. NoiseTorch detects speech and mutes the mic when you aren't speaking. I had tried Hushboard, which mutes the mic when you are typing, but sometimes I talk when I type. ReSpeaker is a m…
