<p>I do use safari in my playwright tests, and it led to me doing a note on my known limitations page - that those tests take longer than Firefox and Chrome, my daily drivers. But, that could be due to using it on Linux maybe. I do hate having to dig out ios devices for app testing.</p>

<p>I just put a comment in yesterday for this very reason - there was a flag I had set to false, and then looking at the library docs for something else thought maybe it should be true but that doesn't work how I would have implemented it if I had created the library and written the docs how I did.<p>It is a very capable library, and when I first started using it the docs were more Oracle docs looking - but I could find what I wanted easily. Now, it is much more annoying to delve through but looks more modern.</p>

(August 2026)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>I have been working on the marketing site for an ETL Product that I am ready to launch, and this thread made me realize that I should ask in another thread about recommended MoR/affiliate programs for current day.<p>This is meant to be something that will help business teams be better able to communicate what they want, while producing ready to deploy tech artifacts that do not rely on AI.<p>More importantly, I have been working on being a Dad - something we were told would be impossible naturally. Way more fun than being in front of the computer - our little one is nearly six months old now, and sleeping through the night until usually at least 8 AM, starting to roll over and enjoy tummy time more, and bringing smiles everywhere she goes.</p>

<p>Hello Everyone, long time reader, second time posting a thread. *edit because realized I did one other time.<p>I am nearing the completion of a product, and realized that usually when I am integrating payment it has been for other people who have figured out what providers they want.<p>I am wondering what people recommend from experience. I really want to be able to have an affiliate program set up so that I can offer 45% to people who sell, and would love that ability built in so that I have less paper work to deal with<p>However, I have been seeing a lot of horror stories around that the MoR I was planning to use (as it ticks every box) since acquisition, when I thought it would have increased in trust.<p>Anyway, I thought this is probably the most trustworthy community to check with for a wide range of experiences and honesty.</p>

<p>I have to admit that I really love web components ever since Polymer 1, and agree with the article sentiment (this post was starting to get to be a mirror of many of the authors thoughts, so cut it down)<p>It is very interesting watching the Web cycles, and found it curious how many people here were sad that typescript was not mentioned. There are some fun (though I suppose dangerous) things you can do without it, and I've found it has had very many instances not helped me where expected like a fully matured typed language has. And I've worked with a lot of people who just went I added types and don't know how to use generics.<p>I guess if you have it poorly implemented, then it's best to leave as JavaScript. And, web components you can keep things very simple... Which helps keep many errors down.</p>

<p>This - games used to regularly drop in price so that if you were patient as a kid you could get more for the same money, and not rush as much. I love rummage sales to this day because of finding so many great deals as a child, but still would save if needed for one in the store. First game I ever got within a week of launch was Yoshi's Island from a second hand store. Physical copies will eventually deteriorate, but they take some time to do so.... Most of my Atari and Coleco stuff still works.</p>

<p>My favorite Zelda game for sure, also the first that I played. Cell shading aged much better than the competition for sure but felt weird at the time.</p>

<p>I actually remember getting so frustrated that I ripped some of my DVDs, made a copy without that, and put it in the same case so that I could just enjoy the movie. VHS you could always fast forward, which is not something I thought I would miss as much as I do. Physical goods that work offline are my default.</p>

<p>I believe that I must be truthful because of my faith, though I understand people feeling pressure otherwise. I have had to quit places that I found lying to part of the employees before.<p>It is very sad to me that people do feel that pressure, and how the current job market is.<p>On topic with the article, I would love to be able to trust AI with more, but have found that I have some useful moments with it, but more because of Internet search not being how it used to be for quality.</p>

Personally, it would be amazing if there were a limit on how much can be in Terms of Service, as no one wants to read that much anymore.</p>

<p>This was a fun read, as I am planning things for my daughter I love to see other people's ideas. I am actually thinking of using one of my old XP desktops and game tote with offline when she gets older for similar reasons. Watching my nephew with a tablet, I see many bad habits. One thing I appreciate with older tech is the lack of instant gratification so you must learn patience and to think what you really want.<p>For phone, we might use a Bluetooth to home phone adapter I had got my uncle in the past, not sure yet how things will look in a few years. Then we can have a shared family phone when home was my thought.</p>

<p>I had it throwing in free advice on my code working as intended, but not a normal pattern. It was something like:"Bonus! This bug exists!" And I had to tell it stop doing that. Or, for generated SQL renaming to keep deeply linked table columns human readable via comments it was - "You can't have a comment of this style here." It works perfectly so yes, yes I can.<p>I can certainly get it to do things that are reasonably common it seems like.<p>As for the article itself, I can agree with much of it.</p>

<p>It also used to be an indicator that potentially someone was outsourcing their work overseas.<p>Edit: I had an instance once where about once a month another developer would ask me about workplace setup, mentioned it to someone and was told maybe they were the English speaker of the group. Upon further investigation, that seemed to be the case.</p>

<p>As long as you are over a certain spend. I started something for my own project and went to apply the recommended architecture, which does not work without a quota increase. As it was from a fresh account, the email was we won't look at this until you spend or pre spend so much money. Frankly, for a trail period when evaluating at prior enterprises, that would have made me just say no to their cloud. One expects that the recommended architecture can be deployed in the trial run without hoops.</p>

<p>I haven't played with the Shadow Dom since Polymer one, but we had defaults and variables to address this that worked amazingly, and helped standardize it with other teams far better than other css things we had done at the time.
