Except the domain did not expire, if you check WHOIS.

It's only the blockquotes that are out of order. If this were a valid reason to disable user selection, then no website with a sidebar would have it enabled. Besides, you could just disable user selection on the blockquotes if that were the reason (not that I'd ever recommend that)

Why is user-select: none and pointer-events: none applied to the content here? In the DOM it's perfectly serviceable content, even if the divs are absolutely positioned to achieve the editorial layout. If you disable these CSS properties the text is selectable and pastes in the right order as expected, since its based on the DOM ordering which matches the line order...

Additionally overflow is hidden, so you cannot read the entire text on desktop without using a very small zoom... and as others have noted, mobile is fully and completely broken. If the bubbles weren't so huge at least you could read a paragraph or two on mobile.

Full of emdashes and AI comparisons like "The performance improvement is not incremental -- it is categorical" too :-\

This 1000%. Whoever came up with the idea of closing and locking issues because no one has posted on them for awhile is at best not all that bright and at worst downright sinister.

Closing an issue due to staleness is one thing, locking it is another.

Being an asshole? For saying "could have fooled me" to one of the 6 posts on a brand new account heavily advertising video.js benefits in response to my post mentioning that the video element is already both powerful and easy to use, and that adding HLS.js to add HLS support to it for browsers that don't support it natively is dead simple?

I guess your threshold for calling someone an asshole is a bit low.

I don't have a problem with using video.js for the reasons the parent poster mentioned, but HTML5 video is insanely easy to implement, and there's no reason to take on a dependency like this if you don't need something beyond what the web platform already gives you.

Could've fooled me...

Using plain video element plus HLS.js is not complicated or difficult.

Oops yes you're correct. Edited post and put a note about the correction and a link to my previous post describing the correct details.

But it's only 365 days if you install the app on day 1 of your $99 subscription period.

Which increases the limit to whatever time is left on your current payment period. After which the app will stop working and need to be reinstalled by an authenticated developer who has a current Apple Developer Subscription.

EDIT: Edited the above which previously said 90 days incorrectly. Not sure where my brain pulled that from but I posted the correct details here prior: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45743615

Notably if you install a month before your subscription expires you need to reinstall the app in 1 month.

Google's announcement is also confusingly written, but I believe your interpretation to be mostly correct as best I can tell.

There's a lot of added complexity because of the <1M plan which isn't new, which put the cut at 15% for under 1M of revenue. Also if you participate in whatever these confusing programs are transactions from brand new installs of your app will be only 20% but transactions from existing installs (before the change) will be 25%...

Ugh

That's incredible, so Stripe at 3% plus $0.30 per transactions must be losing money hand over fist!

Because they're moving it to Azure and doing it far too quickly, not taking care to avoid availability issues

Well that depends on how much traffic that cable was supporting, how much free capacity is available on other cables heading to the same area, how much additional latency the rerouting will add and how sensitive to latency the rerouted traffic is doesn't it?
