For a while due to a bike trail closure, I pedaled across the Sellwood bridge. Because reasons, I took the south sidewalk and had a great view of oncoming eastbound drivers. I saw many drivers holding/operating their phones, by my limi

There are accessibility issues beyond the landmark elements. For instance the close button on the drag and drop example has no accessible name.

Note the date on that. It’s my understanding that with modern browsers, except in pathological cases, selector performance is pretty much a non issue.

Am I the only one that wants to puke when I hear/read how hard it was for the exec team to decide to lay people off? It seems like empathy 101 to me to not make the layoff of an employee about you, the one that made the decision to pro

Yeah, there’s less of a relationship between those than one would think. Slightly related: it’s time to phase out the mortgage interest deduction and plow that revenue into affordable housing.

I think it may be fixed now but drivers were making left turns from there (SE 6th and Tacoma, Portland, OR) for months. The left turn there is only for cyclists and when the cars stacked up it made for very sketchy biking. As for me having
