Same, years ago they did an update when you could still see some pens featured on the homepage but the UX was less fun to browse through. Now it seems there are no featured pens on the homepage, so you can't just explore pens aimlessly

You need to install a 3rd party software Blackhole to even get desktop audio for screen recording with QuickTime. After about an hour of troubleshooting settings I gave up and used OBS, esp since I was in a public space at the time and the

I bought it when he released it. It was good for him but arguably he lowered his worth and took a pay cut, and it also set a bit of a price ceiling base rate for comedy specials at 5$, which if you aren’t the #1 comedian at the time like Lo

CSS-Tricks was and likely still is a great resource for web developers, congrats on your time working there! I once reached out for a position and heard back from Chris Coyier, ultimately I wasn’t quite motivated enough to start but in hind

A leaner organization could reduce reliance on advertising as payrolls go down, and if traffic increases (as Elon is claiming, who knows if true) than advertisers would pay more for greater exposure. Also FB using AI or target marketing to

80% imo could so very easily be bloat. Features/services that are underutilized and haemorrhaging money don't need to be upkept, teams dedicated to curating content like twitter headlines and moderating content don't need to

Just to be clear what you're saying, you personally, or for the sake of others, need satire labels to identify that "CNN Purchases Industrial-Sized Washing Machine to Spin News Before Publication" is satire? That is the state

The new M1 Mac Mini might literally be the first 'affordable' Apple machine that isn't underpowered. Will need to cough up some $ for display adaptors if you want more than one monitor for development though.

Thanks for pointing that out, might be unrelated but I wasn't impressed by the video because it didn't seem to work right, i.e. the robot didn't travel straight, just did a series of small turns to go in one direction.

When the incentive to prosecute (i.e opportunity for resources gained vs opportunity for resources lost) reaches a certain thresh-hold there's action. Generally, that thresh-hold is high because the value gained from prosecution is lo

Those product pages aren't really self evident as to which is better, I actually prefer Amazon's also, it seems to have more details about the item in addition of course to the 1000s of reviews.

Create a new Facebook and just add the people you've talked to recently and get message notifications from your old account sent to your e-mail. It's like getting a new phone number and only informing recent contacts.
