That's what I thought when I read this. It will probably destroy this battery very quickly.

But in other hand, it is probably a pain in the ass to remove the battery and do some workarounds to make sure the phone correctly behaves without it.

I came here to complain about something similar, the excessive use of box shadows on both the top and the sides. It made the text horrible to read on mobile, if it not for Firefox's Readability mode.

Can you provide studies/sources for your claims?

IMO If you're into tech and still use Chrome*, that's on you. If you are not, you probably don't really care unless you need extra space on your PC.

*Except in your job, since you probably obligated to use.

That's what I used to do until I discovered the Stylus extension and created an override for it.

I think the change should apply to both (desktop and mobile).

Since this is an action, I disagree that 10px is "fairly large". According to WCAG https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/target-size-mini...

It should be 24px minimum, we shouldn't be comparing with the title either.

Ask HN: Why are the upvote arrows so small?

The .votearrow element on HN is 10x10px:

.votearrow { width: 10px; height: 10px; border: 0px; margin: 3px 2px 6px; background: url("triangle.svg"), linear-gradient(transparent, transparent) no-repeat; background-size: 10px; }

On mobile, I keep tapping the title instead of the arrow. I've been running this override via Stylus for a while:

.votearrow { width: 40px; height: 40px; margin: 0; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; background-size: 16px; cursor: pointer; }

If we are talking about increase friction to avoid something, unfortunately self control is way past us.

New comment by guilhermeasper in "Git commands I run before reading any code"

These commands are very useful, but adapting them to the codebase makes a huge difference.

For most, I added some filters and slightly changed the regex, and it showed the reality of the codebase (I already knew the reality, I just wanted to see if it matched, and it did).
