I had en elementary school teacher that made a website dedicated to flags games appropriate for students. It was amazing, FULL of games from my childhood: https://web.archive.org/web/20050407011006/www.gamewing.com

To this day nobody does notifications as well as WebOS did. IMO the hard-headed refusal to make a touch keyboard even optionally available also contributed to their demise.

Good read. It’s kinda funny that, on a CSS focused site, the position of the “latest” article label on the homepage is set above that of the site logo and navigation bar. It’s nice to know even CSS experts make mistakes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

It’s a “luxury belief”[1] and it shows that some people either forgot or never really knew how the other half lives. 1: https://quillette.com/2019/11/16/thorstein-veblens-theory-of...

Think Google Inbox (RIP :tombstone:) meets Basecamp (:campfire:). A little like Superhuman in that it's a an email client that uses Gmail as its backend and it has a plethora of keyboard shortcuts. Pretty blown away by how quickly the

Even if you factor in investment returns you're not getting the full picture IMO unless you take into account price increases over time as well. A common refrain is that Carnegie Hall only cost $1M ($29,581,868.13 when adjusted for inf

Echoing others here, I honestly prefer this than dealing with outdated defaults built into the OS. More often than not they just get in the way. The real bummer is for newcomers. It's going to make getting started much more of a headac

$1K - Hard pass. I'll take two crappy IPS 24 inch monitors before I drop that kinda cash on a monitor. Thing is I've seen co-workers with these, and buy call accounts they love them, but I've never really been blown away by

I've built in house versions of this for a handful of roles. Frustratingly common problem. Great that there's a free model, but would love to see a `hobbyist` tier as well. 50 QPS won't cut for a lot of folks. edit: forgot a

Pretty, but performance is abysmal. Also looks like it changes the browser history on every interaction, ie any drag and drop, which seems, to me, to indicate some behind the scenes UUID tracking.

I've been using DDG as my main driver for over 2 years now. Contrary to the vast majority of commenters here, I almost never use !g. 90% of of the time, if my first search didn't produce a useful result on DDG, I end up !stackover

Experian fiasco (and others that came* long before) taught us the shortcomings of these types of regulations. Do you really feel like banking and medical records are being kept secure? If so I envy your confidence. Compare that to the way o

The conclusion that nation wide legislation would fix this is, at best, wishful thinking. ATMs are secure because banks would lose money if they weren’t. Not because of regulation. Regulation leads to a bare minimum of safety, not a best-in

I use this thing as my daily driver. It's not* just advertising. It's a darned good keyboard. edit: apparently there's an affiliate link. Didn't see it on first read. Still a good keyboard imo though...

Nice work! I would suggest adding a controls screen that fades out. Took me a while to realize I had to combine aiming with the mouse and WASD keys for movement to get everything going.

The irony of this linking to Quora is painful. Spen 0.5 on the page; get a request for notifications permissions.

Another tragedy is that RSS dropped in popularity at the same time that appreciation for the "open" web did. The great fake-news scare has greenlit walled gardens of the kind people never envisioned back when RSS started. Content
