I left my AirPods Pro at a school sports field an hour away, and I didn't realize until the next morning after it been raining heavily. I gave them up for lost and needed headphones for work – so ordered some from Apple with same day d

It's hit and miss, but I still largely like it when I have to interact with it. I just re-registered to postal vote from overseas, and the information and links were a labaryinth, often sending me in circles. Out of exasperation – sinc

Likewise. Camping used to be spontaneous up until Covid. We might book a popular site a few weeks in advance but only for popular ones on holiday weekends. Now they can be booked months in advance when you've no sense of how available

It always warms my heart that The Strid is internet famous. My memory is walking by it and my grandad, not one for hyperbole, telling us how dangerous it was. Miss you gramps!

Good luck, and seems like a nicely executed product. There's certainly demand in the prosumer home office market – lots of money being spent there. Personally, I'm surprised that showing more information is frequently correlated w

Sorry, by scale in this context I meant "used by a large number of users". Obviously there's no risk in CSS itself scaling - more that there's risk in using CSS Grid to the degree they have in a way I haven't seen i

Disappointed in the tone of the comments so far. Here's what I took from the article. The author wasn't saying this was _good_, they were saying it was _interesting_. Professional curiosity and learning how a complex app uses CSS

I know there are privacy concerns with this kind of thing but I think it's a nice use of technology. I recently came back into the US as a Global Entry member and didn't even have to get my passport out of my pocket. I'm not

I pay for Pinboard with archiving, in fact my 5 year archiving was about to expire to paid for 10 years. The entropy of links is staggering. I'm glad to have archives of some of the oldest links.

Your suggested solutions don't work so well for sitting outside. When Covid made outdoor socializing necessary, we used out hot water bottles at restaurants and at fire pits. Blankets and gloves aren't as good at keeping nether re

Fun idea. I have a memory a website from years ago that was photos of writing on a whiteboard or fridge. I'm certain it wasn't accessible nor SEO-friendly though it was inadvertently mobile friendly.

To be fair I don't think the cited paper being profitable before necessarily means they are not now they've been bought out, though I take your point that in aggregate their parent company is paying off debt. Once the papers are r

Interesting tidbit that countered my assumptions: > None of this was inevitable: At the time of the sale to GateHouse, The Hawk Eye wasn’t struggling financially. Far from it. In the years leading up to the sale, the paper was seeing pro

I saw my first Rivian in the wild last Sunday. I live near their head office in Plymouth, MI so I presume it was an employee. Looked sort of toy-like, not like a typical truck.

Since most of the comments are negative, I will say I noticed the new font yesterday and loved it on my Windows computer in Chrome. I switch between Mac for work and Windows for pleasure and Windows font rendering can be hit and miss. I not

This is my biggest irrational fear. That one day I'll get locked up and everything I say and do will only convince them more that they're right. Jon Ronson meets Kafka.

If anything the jokes of the vintage years have got better with age. Not only because I understood the cultural references or occasional 'adult' jokes more, but also because of the layers to a joke. Like many Pixar movies, the sam

As a counter point, I love my Surface Laptop 3 as my personal device. I had a pre-M1 MacBook Air for when I'm not working and I hated its fans constantly whirring and the industrial design that hadn't been updated in years. I dive

Yeah not only was the value proposition a one-time fee, but also paying at all. A lot of alternatives were free, and the pitch IIRC was if you pay then the archive is more sustainable. I'd be interested to see what a re-up of a one-tim

I've seen this kind of thing from other museums too. Can anyone recommend a way of a layperson getting them printed in decent quality, say on canvas, for hanging in the home? Is there a good online service that does this where I can up

The article mentions labor being a huge problem. On a TV episode of Grand Designs (UK) a few years ago, the German company Huf Haus (www.huf-haus.com) sold a prefab home to a family. Their approach to labor? Ship that too. The whole crew ar
