Why has even the White House recommended against the use of the C programming language?

I don't have any answers unfortunately but here is what it looks like on an iPhone on iOS 26:

in the browser:

as a PWA:

it seems that the safe area inset is correct here.

Ah I see, thanks for the detailed reply! I thought that would also just be an easily toggleable option on the stock tab bar design but if you'd have to do a lot of work around it I totally get that it's not very feasible right now

Is there a chance we could get an option for collapsing the bottom bar to a single icon in the left corner on scroll, similar to e.g. what Music and Podcasts do? :)

My goodness. What is your point? Don't bother trying to help the Palestinian people if you don't say exactly the right things? You think he'd have an easier time getting support for the bill if he used the word genocide?

It must be nice to live a life of such luxury that you can care more about the phrasing than the actions.

Like most of Europe for example.

Well, only if you exclude its most populated country Germany..

Yeah sure, you found the one notorious TypeScript feature that actually emits code, but a) this feature is recommended against and not used much to my knowledge and, more importantly, b) you cannot tell me that you genuinely believe the use of TypeScript enums – which generate extra function calls for a very limited number of operations – will 5x the energy consumption of the entire program.

Only if you choose a lower language level as the target. Given these results I suspect the researchers had it output JS for something like ES5, meaning a bunch of polyfills for old browsers that they didn't include in the JS-native implementation..

I'm an empirical researcher in software engineering and all of the points you're making are being supported by recent papers on SE and/or education. We are also seeing a strong shift in behavior of our students and a lack of ability to explain or justify their "own" work

more like MCETAPB (most cops enable, tolerate and protect bastards)

At least on a Mac keyboard, the en dash is also alt+hyphen and the em dash is shift+alt+hyphen.
