Very unrelated to the content of the article, but that is a pretty weird ft ligature in the heading. It looks a letter from another alphabet. Which maybe makes this pretty cool after all.

> Firefighters who deal with forest fires, police, governments, rescue services (here in Spain) are all posting their updates on X - because, like the users, they have no choice, because no alternative exists.

This what a healthy society shouldn’t be accepting. But we both need to create laws about this and build the alternative.

> If you don't know CSS tailwind gets your far enough sometimes, but you have to learn many of the same paradigms as you would in CSS.

This is also my experience. But one of my colleagues highlighted this as a strong feature. He had been doing web dev for many years, but always with a CSS framework. He was really glad that Tailwind forced him to learn plain CSS.

I didn't know this existed. Pretty neat, especially since Reddit recently started redirecting old.reddit.com to reddit.com when clicking internal links on the site. Thanks.

Yeah, I get that some prefer it the other way around.

The HTML anchor should have a target="_self_or_blank_depending_on_what_the_user_has_configured" option.

Why all USB-A ports instead of USB-C? (I counted 4 USB-A and just one USB-C.)

I think the links should open in the same window (like they do here on HN) instead of in a new tab/window. If I want a separate tab, I can Cmd+click and Browsers don't have the reverse option for opening in the same window.

What are the rules? Is it okay to use autocomplete? Are spell checkers accepted? What if I used an AI chatbot to figure out something instead of a traditional search engine?

It sounds like the root issue is that some people prefer opening new tabs while others prefer staying in the same browser window. I surfed the web when all links, even across websites always stayed in the same browser window, and I still prefer that. But I can understand that some people prefer opening new browser tabs instead.

I think web browsers should revisit how they handle links with target=_blank/_top, and show different cursers when hovering and let users customize the default behavior.

> The iPad would go from a never-buy to a buy-right-away for me, if they added user profiles.

I am crossing my fingers that that Apple's rumored Home Hub will change this.

> In total the thickness went down from 7 to 6 pixels, which is a 14% decrease, making it 14% more likely to miss it.

But also a 14% higher chance that you won't hit it by accident.

This is not a situation where bigger is simply better. If the thickness was 50 pixels, that would make it pretty much impossible to not resize the windows. I am one of those who believe that there are still people at Apple who care deeply about user interfaces. Given the amount of attention paid to the regions for resizing by dragging the corner, I actually assume that they also took a second look a dragging the edges, and concluded that 6 pixels was better than 7.

SO peaked long, long before LLMs came along. My personal experience is that GitHub issues took over.

You can clearly see the introduction of ChatGPT in late 2022. That was the final nail in the coffin.

I am still really glad that Stack Overflow saved us from experts-exchange.com - or “the hyphen site” as it is sometimes referred to.

> Lately, I see a lot of drivers who turn on their brights and just leave them on and this includes cars with the older halogen and even incandescents. This is a change in behavior.

I suspect this is because more and more people don’t know how to turn it off and/or don’t know what the blue indicator on the dashboard means.

As you mention, Tesla model 3 seems to be the worst offender. Could this be caused by a bad interface in that car? How does the brights indicator look in a model 3 and you turn off the brights?

Same here - on a 12 Mini. My wife and my mother have the same phone, and I have recommended that they hold back on upgrading.

I really hope Apple will address this in a dot-upgrade later this year, but I am afraid that the market share of the 12 and 13 models are too low for them to justify this.
