Just as a side-note since their example uses CloudFlare: I think that host-rewriting is disabled on CloudFlare as a security or spam-avoidance feature. If you want to have CF change the host to something else, like censored.com, this doma

What’s the advantage? I don’t think it’s likely to cost less as a service, especially directly from Apple. If you get the same performance per dollar you might as well keep using what you have. Heat and energy savings only apply to the dire

You know what’s getting old? My 2020 computer having the same RAM as my 2013 computer. This is not acceptable for a $2000+ machine. Apple really skimps on RAM and my new iPhone can’t take a photo without purging every single other app.

What a feature to introduce in 2020. This has been a core part of the UI of OS X for… ever? For every app.

You’re missing the point. Why buy something if you don’t have to? That’s the reasoning here. You don’t spend money, your product doesn’t depreciate, you always have a brand new product. You only have to deal with your guilt and ethics or

I think the answer is not “not” It’s abuse because people buy it with the intent to return it. Buying it and then honestly changing your mind is fine, but Amazon probably determined that wasn’t the case here.

It’s kinda ridiculous that this happens. It’s not like it’s graphic intensive. Why would it warm up any GPU of this decade?

To be fair, that always refers to the LOC I wrote. If I can write monaLisa() and get a nice painting on canvas then that really was 1 LOC. What line count doesn’t include is the weight of the dependency, which may or may not matter.

It’s an interesting product but it’s very barebones. Netlify is a whole company vested in making the same thing as this “side project” by CloudFlare and therefore has a lot more interesting features than just serving static files.

Yeah that sounds reasonable. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to rewriting the templates. By the way you could just use the images served from WordPress.com I assume… unless the ToS don’t allow that.

Maintenance is certainly useful even if there are no new features. I doubt the project is bug-free so no updates means no bugfixes either.

Do you still have a regular WordPress host though? Do you use WordPress.com? I always wanted to do this but every solution requires some non-free PHP hosting alongside the static host. WordPress.com doesn’t let you customize it unless you

Semi-related: Do you think we’ll ever see a substantial reduction of pre-flight times? Why can’t we go through check-in and board directly, after an immediate security check? (Needless to say, this requires a brand new type of airport) Some

This is true. Most of these comparisons are between a well-used system with a brand-new one. “Of course Firefox feels snappier than Chrome, you haven’t installed your 20 extensions yet.” A so on.

I wouldn’t use it either, for the same reason. Choosing a movie now takes 1 second for each card since they’re displayed one at a time and I have to do something to say NO. How about you just show me a list where I can mark what I like and

Maybe, but why aren’t more girls interested in computing in the first place? If it was just a workplace issue we’d see a lot more college admissions of women in CS programs, who then would drop out or change career later due to those issues

I don’t disagree with you, but that will make advertising less effective. A nursing job shown to me and a programming job shown to my sister will both be ignored and wasted. The opposite wouldn’t be true. Likewise showing me a car shop job

In other news, 12% of nurses are men. Is it because the nursing industry isn’t welcoming to men or is it because men aren’t attracted to nursing jobs? You can see bias anywhere you look, but if you look well you’ll see that it’s just a natu

Why would it be a bad idea? Is styling your site a bad idea?

Kinda, but there’s no way a “Contact us” call-to-action in the middle of a hero is going to look acceptable as a plain underlined blue text. Some links need to be boxed and that makes them look like buttons. Not a lot of wiggle room there.

The other 10% is from people giving up unstyling buttons. If I remember correctly they need more than 10 lines of CSS to undo all kinds of weird specific CSS that <button> has. Maybe nowadays it can be done with `all: initial` Not an

So you do care since only links follow your browsers’ behavior. Nothing else can be right-clicked to show “Copy link address” in the dropdown for example. The golden rule is that if a button opens a link to a page that has its own URL, it

<button> is not commonly mis-used as a link. I do agree that <div onclick="goTo('/contacts')"> and its equivalents are too damn common and just show complete lack of knowledge of the platform. <a>

You’re missing the point of the article entirely. The author argues to NOT use fake anchor tags like <a href="#"> and then add functionality to it via JavaScript. Instead you should use <button type="button">
