How is this obviously made up and devoid of substance l'esprit d'escalier-type story getting upvotes?

Accessibility is easily overlooked but in my opinion provides a much more direct and widespread impact than the mentioned ESG - and often provide value to more people than originally intended - I'm thinking of subtitles in videos that

Even John Carmack - an ultimate prototype for a nerd - has evolved into a CTO (and from the linked Fridman interview he sounds like a really good one). What is it about tinkerers being put into these positions as a natural progression? It a

This is new to me and I've been doing this very thing for a while (though not yet with an accident) - do you have a source for this?

Any mentions of the refresh rate? I've been waiting for a 4K/5K display that supports 120 Hz to pair nicely with my 2021 MBP, but it looks like the only available options so far are funky gaming displays: https://tonsky

Client devices, I think - filtering that happens transparently and without an easy way to disable is just asking for problems - I couldn't deal with having to log in to the DNS management console every time when a website notices that

Nice! Interesting you were able to agree on licensing with PANTONE®, considering they sell a (very underwhelming) hardware device called CAPSURE™ that has a similar premise: https://www.pantone.com/products/color-contro
