To be fair, you're supposed to get a permission dialog and it seems you have to pick the specific device(s) to connect to them. https://web.dev/usb/#get-access-to-usb-devices However I suppose that the mere existe

Hotel searches on Kayak are pretty poor simply due to the fact that they somehow always show low-res images. I generally book on Agoda or search on Google Maps nowadays. Kayak is still my go-to for flights though.

For flights yes, for hotels I suppose it varies on location. In South East Asia hotels are cheaper on Agoda and even contacting the hosts directly wouldn't get you a better price most of the time. It's a waste of time to try so I

It's also possible that they suggested worse options just to get a bigger fee without looking more expensive than what you could find with a single search. I think the best "cheap" travel agents nowadays would just do the job

What you describe is exactly why people use dependencies. You just decided to trade your time for the noble act of having “no production dependencies”, while one of the 275 modules installed by Jest (real number) stole your production secre

One of many, existed since at least 2013. The most popular one went bust since it was free and many more were born, bought and died since. It’s good to keep seeing alternatives though since the lifespan of such services isn’t very long. I m

Page media has been supported for decades. Line numbers aren’t strictly related to page media. It’s hard to complain about the lack of in-depth support for a media that isn’t meant to display “the web”. I do agree that it could be better. T

Dialog is fine, but what I’m most excited is the upcoming Popup API. The finest part is that “the most recent popup gets the top-most layer”. You never have to fight z-index again because popups now live in a compositing layer outside the d

:is() exclusively reduces nesting if your nest produces a single rule, which is the least common situation and is generally dealt with by just duplicating the selector rather than nesting.

Your comment reads like a lot of complaining by someone who doesn’t do a whole lot of CSS. You’re complaining about the mere availability of color functions, that alone kills the rest of the comment.

EasyList is a txt file. If they can’t host it on CF, it means they can’t use CF for EasyList. They didn’t ban the whole organization, but effectively told them to stop. I don’t see a difference.

This issue caused CF to irreversibly ban them though, so it's not "just a bandwidth issue" anymore. > Based on the URL that are being requested at Cloudflare, it violates our ToS as well. All the requests are txt file exte

First class has its own levels I think, just because you spend 10k for a flight you're not going with a limo directly under the plane without any wait in the airport. Some airports do have shortcuts though, that's true.

Isn't PreCheck supposed to lessen that a bit? I don't think "security" is going to be lessened in our lifetime, if anything it can only get worse. Disrupting the space would take an insane amount of money you don't

I don’t think anyone is saying that it’s less safe, it’s just that our standards (and fear) have increased. 1960s vehicles didn’t have airbags, now we don’t buy cars without them.

Your view on "the way of life" is so superficial. Yes, we all breathe, eat and die. Day to day things are different. Interactions are different. Food is different. The time you spend between work and sleep is different. Saying tha

> Popular things are popular for a reason Meh, it really depends. Some places look amazing on cameras and especially on drones, but aren't that interesting if you're not a bird. Specifically, "un-popular tourists"

The US equivalent is to go to LA instead of NY. Hanoi is the capital, the second largest city and very touristy. Picking Hanoi over HCM isn't off the beaten path at all. Try Đà Lạt if you want to travel like a local.

Rates yes, but fees not. Unless you're a US resident and can get a Charles Schwabs, you're going to pay all those ATM fees that a lot of countries charge, for example the inescapable US$6 fee in Thailand.

That suggestion that people buy iPhones merely because of iMessage is outrageous to a non-American. While I might certainly be one of the reasons, I doubt it’s the reason, unless the user is 12.

It’s kinda cool but apparently you can’t really be accessible AND script-free because they say you should change some aria attributes and potentially some focus when you open modals like menu and dropdowns. A #menu href coupled with :target

So when do I use `<div onclick>`? /s It’s disappointing how developers are so lazy to not even know the basic concept of a link. It’s completely ridiculous yet super common to see click handlers on DIV elements that set the value

There’s a webpack plugin for that. You can use it to drop all the locales.

It’s expensive to be poor. Like poor people can’t buy bulk, real countries with limited budgets can’t spend freely for a 100-year project. It will be well worth it in the end, but you have to pay it all now.

> just write my own WYSIWYG editor For your own mental health, don’t. I was looking for an old article describing how bad the API is, written by one of the authors of a WYSIWYG JS editor, but I can’t find it.
