The spinoff definitely came at a particularly bad time, but that was always how it was going to end up because that is how IAC operates. Vimeo was probably doomed from the moment I…

The custom stuff was all on the transcoding and player sides. Actual video file storage and delivery was using a variety of well-known CDNs depending on when and where, but primari…

The people in this video were mostly CollegeHumor people (I think there are 4 Vimeans in there), but the last one left about 10 years ago now.

I miss the days when interfaces didn't have to be light white on white or dark black on black. When people thought about contrast and things looked interesting. Discord is my go-to…

React is also extremely easy to get it wrong.

Screen readers actually do generate a couple of different things that you could consider a ToC from the semantic meaning of various tags. If you structure your document properly, i…

We didn't have that in the article?

Nope, that results in significant extra complexity because now you have to implement all the stuff that the browser does for the other tags so that your website works the way peopl…

This is an opinion trapped in 2010. You can build both "simple arrangements of rectangles" and way more complicated layouts easily now. What would you propose as a replacement?

> Ask the people who invented CSS why they built it in a way that is really really hard to understand - even for simple things. Can you give an example or explain more about this?

I cannot agree with this comment any more. Every time I read any one of these Tailwind threads, I am yelling in my head "SVELTE!!!!" the whole time. Going against the current of th…

Whether you like it or not, the cascading part of cascading style sheets is an integral part of the web platform, and one is better off in the long run swimming with the current of…
