Starlink constellations will lead to a world where there is absolutely nowhere you can go where you cant see man-made junk. No truly pristine wilderness anywhere without being able to see formations of glowing dots helping "off-grid&qu

I don't think this is necessarily good or even desirable, a lot of the SNES music was composed with the compression in mind and sounds off and weird when "remastered" like this. Like this Pitchfork writer expressed it here ab

Cool, obviously a lot of people are going to quibble about the default lineup (wheres Iosevka?) but for anyone who hasn't nailed down a preference it seems great!

We had a wasps nest last summer inside the wall under the eaves of our house, some kid from the exterminator's came with a long telescoping rod and puffed some kind of white powder into the opening. He explained that it was something l

The outdoor air isn't really relevant, the issue is human activity (breathing, showering, laundry, etc.) raising the indoor humidity when combined with low indoor temperatures causing surfaces to approach the dew point. Particularly ex

10C is a great indoor temperature if you want condensation everywhere and eventually mold, but that's a price worth paying to not be considered "wimpy" I suppose? https://www.homebuilding.co.uk/advice/min

Poorly made slop aside, your framing of this just makes it look and sound like you're extremely bitter over losing a hackathon (?) to this guy. I think you should've focused on the company solely and dropped the snide and sarcasti

They mostly seem interested in JRPG anime slop, and even then Expedition 33 was released just this year and is probably the best example of that genre from the last 20 years? That's also by a relatively small studio though.. I would ag

Presumably that's how many users they had 2 weeks ago, as indicated by the giant "Recent" indicator and the dates? You can always switch to "All Data".

I have never been able to understand the argument about the supposed high water use - the water doesn't magically cease to exist after it's been used to cool a datacenter. You put freshwater in and get the same, but warmer, freshw

You need to realize that open palm slapping your 2 year old (in public, no less) for accidentally kicking a table is not an "obvious attempt to generate outrage" when the act itself is obviously outrageous to anyone from a place w

I don't mind the widgets, but agree on the colors. The water being teal and non-built areas being mint looks both unnatural and has worse contrast, at least to my eye. It's like they wanted to go for a pastel theme but didn't

I conversely think it's much better that it's made by just one very opinionated person. Sure, one could argue that some stuff is "wrong" but does it really matter when it's all so arbitrary anyway? I'm more int

In my experience there is practically no need to use multi-cursor editing if you're extracting components or partials where appropriate, as is usually the case nowadays. There's also a difference between naming things of actual si

The real reason people moved to the infinite ones is that the determinate progress bar is almost never accurate or representative, hence useless. Like beyond truly "dumb" tasks like downloading a file it's basically a guessin

That's not the fault of the underlying technology, if anything it will be EASIER for predatory adTech to display such things when the entire UI is rendered in an opaque <canvas>-equivalent. How do I get uBlock to block specific e

I'd be very shocked if the percentage of all human users that have JS disabled is more than <0.1%. Even web crawlers and other bots can (and do) execute JS these days. I don't think the demographic is realistically relevant.

Next adds all the "missing pieces" that you would otherwise need to cobble together yourself when using just plain React to create a production-grade and ready web app. Obviously these things can be done without using Next, React

I don't know if this is just performative boomerism on your part, but I don't see how generating a PDF is a "very basic requirement" in 2022. What are you going to do, print it?

60hz vs 120hz is also obviously apparent if you have them next to eachother (when using multiple monitors, for example). Just jiggling the cursor around or scrolling a webpage makes the 60hz look almost stuttery in comparison. Same goes for
