Have been using same via Chromium Edge browser. I also like workspaces feature. It's very handy to give some context to the group of tabs.

If you compare number of wars Russia vs USA did post WW2, you know the aggressor. Why do NATO need to expand that too till borders of Russia n China. Is it just protection or suppression in plan? Where were we when there were so many wars againt people in Asia by US? And now we want to point against India or China not acting against Russia. Why should they do it? Even now countries like Yemen etc are suffering. But do we have sanctions against Saudis? No. Instead we still trade with them and US even sells weapons. So why should China or India care about what's happening in Ukraine.

USA doing well economically when Europe suffers not just in Ukraine. But we don't want to ack that. Why do people can't acknowledge that? We Europeans are doomed in couple of years. Took in lot of migrants and also dancing on tunes of USA.

Arjuna and Krishna fought before Mahabharat when Krishna's brother Balarama ordered Krishna to do so.

They have a private experience setup available(not private mode).I don't remember name but as soon as you install edge, it asks what level privacy you want to manage. That I guess should be fine.

If you like F1 because of "Drive to Survive", I am sorry but F1 is not at all like that. I have been follower of F1 for more than 20 years now. But not because of only racing. Racing is just 20%. It's more a team game, team politics, engineering, team strategies etc that keeps my interest in F1. If you just follow live racing, I can guarantee you, it's more boring than 5 day cricket test matches. There are lot times a team gonna keep leading for ages. Like mercs for almost 7 years now. But behind doors there are teams who try to do politics to makesure they comeback on top.

Most important thing date picker helps is user doesn't need to understand required input format. Coz there is no standard format across apps and localities.

itsbits — Fri, 07 Jan 2022 08:34:09 +0000

may be it's one of challenges for devs, who ever are interested to make React alternative with same API and dev experiance without VirtualDOM support.

> Now React is stuck with it's virtual DOM. But sure Richard, take the credit for being fast if you want.

Would it be hard for React to remove VirtualDOM(if they don't believe), and maintain most of API?

Although I can understand additional size that comes with any framework, all the apps I worked have metrics so far, was in tens or hundreds of kbs. Never in ones. I was surprised when I read 3+7kb of Preact was felt heavy.

On Side Note: I think very soon most of JS Frameworks will reach that saturation point where all have equal performance metrics. After that it's more of developer experiance in building applications.

It's very difficult in HN to put comment and gain points. Atleast for me. Tried couple of times. Downvoted most of times. So I just visit and read comments. Have been doing same for more than 7 years now. I am sure there are lots of readers like me.

Aren't these reasons (even if they are convincing) apply to Mac systems as well?
