It's also not "CSS only".

It's everything! It's waterproof! -- No it isn't. -- It's water resistant! -- No it isn't. -- It's... water absorbent! Absorb water today with Simpson's Individual Flood Preventers…

The Great Lakes span across hundreds of miles, but the deepest point is less than a quarter mile, and most of it is much shallower than that. I.e., it's a super thin film over that…

This looks great. I can't wait to dive in. Thank you very much for sharing. Formatting nitpick for the site: when viewed on mobile, the text width is set to screen width minus 1 ma…

Order of magnitude usually refers to a 10x difference. Two orders of magnitude would be 100x difference. (Sometimes the phrase is casually used to just mean "a lot", but here I thi…

When I saw the title, I thought this was going to be a security issue... like that they figured out how to identify someone's location based on unique power fluctuations from sun/c…

This is a story about urban public transit, not inter-city rail. The size of the country or spread between cities is not really relevant. (And the low density of post-war American …

It would be interesting to relax the color requirements such that you could encode a program into what looks like image noise. Sort of like steganography, but instead of hidden dat…

But watch out for 100vh on mobile. It doesn't account for the sometimes there, sometimes not there address bar. To solve that, there's svh (small), lvh (large), and dvh (dynamic). …

"A $200,000 plant..." Those 1954 dollars comes out to about $2.3 million today. That seems really low for a factory. Could you set up manufacturing for anything for $2 million toda…

Well please let's not just rebuild all our roads to accommodate the fastest and stupidest drivers. (See above about pedestrian and cyclist safety). I guess that's just always happe…

JavaScript language and browsers have tons of facilities for dealing with date times in sensible ways, including displaying a `Date` object in the local time zone and local preferr…

My favorite was "North Korean propaganda or TED talk soundbite?" There are a few articles about it but the actual quiz doesn't seem to be up anymore.

No, the new demand is induced. Among the many things people consider when buying a house or choosing a new place to rent, is the commute time to wherever they might need to go. A s…

I would say it's not your age, but I'm getting old too, so... Anyway, suggestion to the developers: Your intro video needs work. A little context setting would go a long way in tho…

I can't say I remember the associated sound, but the on-screen "!" goes all the way back to the original Metal Gear for NES.

Yeah no kidding. I, a real human, also love it when $app_name empowers everyday users.

We have a countertop ice maker that gets jammed up and overloaded with ice on sunny days for a similar reason. There's an infrared beam and sensor. When the ice tray is full, it is…

When it comes to pricing products at absolutely outrageous multiples of material cost, the "audio community" seems to be in its own league. I don't think the desktop toy market is …

90% of Canadians live in a "small" strip of land that is comparable in size to Europe. That area (along with several regions and city pairs in the US) could have excellent inter-ci…
