Can’t we disguise the PWA as a browser on the iOS App Store? So in theory it’s just another browser that only allows to open one website- the PWA. But on the surface, to the users it will be available as an app in App Store.
It is technically possible, of course, though I vaguely recall iOS App Store guidelines saying not to just wrap an existing website in a webview. On the flip side, PWA support in Safari has been gradually improving with better support for web manifests and web notifications, for example.
What might strike a balance for most is a weekly summary of most important news from around the world + daily local news. For this I use the section called “The World this week” in The Economist through their rss(https://www.economist.com/the-world-this-week/rss.xml) and for local news I’ve subscribed to a popular local newspaper physical copy that I read in the morning with a cup of tea. If I feel like digging deeper into a news piece from either of the two, I’ll just google it to read long form articles on it.
Unfortunately that would mean doxxing myself. But its largely a somewhat complex CRUD app with a user dashboard. The stac is nextjs, tailwind, and nodejs, express on the backend.
I built most off my UI off of FlowBite (which is a tailwind UI library). Did not need to use complex prompting resources, though I would sometimes switch between Phind and chatGPT-4 to get a better answer.
I think it works because its not a very complex app and since it's gated with a sufficiently high entry, I don't expect a ton of traffic, hence scaling is not an issue. I also chose the easiest options to deploy (Vercel for the frontned, Heroku for the backend), which might end up costing me in the long run - but I figure I'll get that fixed later
the thing that makes it confusing is that first you mention 2016-2018. Then you say you wonder if it is possible to order from AliExpress still. Then you add an edit saying just to see if you could you placed an order.
That's why it's easy to read your edit as saying that you placed an order today. Which then gets confusing when you say they got delivered :p
The Edge browser is essentially is Chrome under the hood. With cosmetic changes and some Microsofty features. I switched to
Edge and would never go back to chrome. Big reason is - the vertical tabs feature and tab grouping. At anytime I have around 300-400 tabs open and vertical tabs + grouping makes browsing through them a breeze and I always know where the tab is I’m looking for. Takes a few days to get used to vertical tabs, but once you do, you’ll question the decision of other browsers to have horizontal tabs where you can’t even read the title when many are open.
Meanwhile, you can use third party mobile apps for HN that work perfect. Just type “hacker news” on the App Store (iOS) and you’ll see a bunch of apps. Try and see which one fits your usage style. I personally use the app called “HACK for hacker news” and it fulfils all I could ask for. I mostly browse and write on HN using this app. Not promoting this app, just helping fellow users.
I survived several layoff rounds at a large company so my guess is no department is safe and they will likely ask every department for X%, just those depts I mentioned maybe for a higher percentage. If you're laying off 5-10% of the company you really don't need a lot of recruiters, right? There are probably obvious employees that are safe, key contributors on key projects they don't want to lose. I don't work there so I don't even know how they are organized.
It already is revolutionary and maybe we overlook how it is helping us all daily, work faster, spend more quality time, make things easy.
I’ll give just one very small example: I have this huge photo library on my phone and sometimes I need to find a particular photo or receipt from a specific business that I clicked 3-4 years ago. Doing that manually means spending at least 10 mins to 30 mins if I don’t remember the exact month or year I clicked it in. And I used to mostly defer finding the photo as much as I could. Or do it when I was totally bored and nothing to do.
Cue AI: I type the business name or photo description in the search bar and it displays the photo right there. 3 seconds.
Another could be about the Camera app using CV to read live text or numbers. I guess CV and LLMs are specifically going to explode this year as they already have a strong base and proven use case.
Yeah, definitely. I think a fascinating aspect of it is that each milestone seems to dwarf the previous ones, though.
Roughly 5 years ago it seemed amazing that you could search through Google Photos for "dog" and find all your dog pictures. That seems like such a minor milestone now, when you compare it to the way you can today generate amazing text & visual content matching a specific dog that you describe with a single sentence.
