Not everyone is on a US tech salary (no idea about the company in question – just saying that this doesn't apply universally).

Yeah, like… exactly what she's doing? People here are so willing to assume that she's doing all this out of self interest, because of what? A $500,000 book deal? Compared to what she stands to lose? She isn't stupid, she know

Looking at the CSS variables page it seems that this is because they scale up the base font size at various breakpoints, starting at 106.25% at 576px, and going all the way up to 131.25% at 1536px. It definitely feels too heavy handed to me

I think that if people are trying to avoid plastics but unknowingly using them anyway due to misleading design or greenwashing then their heart is in the right place and we shouldn't sneer at them. At least they're conscious of th

The whole point of my retro handhelds are to be an escape from this kind of complexity. I just want to sit down without any connection to the wider world and jump into some simple games like I did in my childhood. No distractions. They&#x27

I think you're overstating it a bit. There were definitely features that couldn't be implemented due to MV3 limitations rather than because the developer chose to leave them out. https://github.com/uBlockOrigin&#x2

This is exactly my experience, every time! If I offer it the slightest bit of context it will say 'Ah! I understand now! Yes, that is your problem, …' and proceed to spit out some non-existent function, sometimes the same one it h

It's boring, grey, and flat. It takes up too much space on the screen for very little reason (and I'm a fan of whitespace used well). It's generally unpolished with various elements misaligned, squashed together, lacking padd

And yet I frequently see (in New Zealand), properties with oversized double garages (often built to fit oversized American vehicles) and driveways that take up half the land on the property. Cars use a huge amount of space in roads, carpark

I'm self employed and use it (Beancount, as I like the more strict approach) for my business accounts and also for my stock portfolio. Fava, the web UI, is very handy for reporting and visualising things, though I also have a few scrip

As a kiwi, are your able to make any of these (or your) projects? I'm quite interested.

You can also use %x(ls some/dir), which is a syntax used in other places too, like %w[word word word] (array of word strings, notice you can choose the delimiter).

They steal designs from independent fashion designers (because designing their own clothes would cost too much I guess). It's also the volume with Shein. They produce so much crap at such low prices and it's all just dumped into a

'Utterly inefficient' seems a bit hyperbolic.

These are important typographical features and I'm fairly sure this is handled by font rendering libraries, not the browser (other than handling the CSS rules), so I can't imagine it's that difficult to implement? Correct me

Please stop diluting words like objectively for things that you just feel strongly about.

If only we all had such thoughtful regulation, yet we are not all so fortunate as those in Europe.

For me it's the flex-basis, -grow, -shrink that I can never get my head around. But I don't need to worry about that very often (which I guess is why it never really sticks in my head).

Why, are they also forcing you to throw away your old iPhone?

Meanwhile, just last year people living a couple of blocks from me were removing sludge a metre high from the floors of their homes due to river flooding levels we've never seen before. Very comfortable indeed.

Because to make a significant difference to that person's life you'd have to give them an astounding amount of money (and probably other forms of support), and personally speaking I'm still desperately saving just for a chanc

Way to be reductive. It's a very thorough summary of the situation, hardly low effort or obnoxious. If you think it's 'just an image format' then you aren't the target audience. Move on. This was a very controversia
