I bought a 1973 Fender Jazzmaster that was immaculate and should have been my forever guitar. I was so afraid of "ruining the value" that I sold it. I couldn't play it, I was so pa…

I'll be the "Ackchyually" person for those who don't know. Proton tweeted support for a _single_ thing the Trump administration did, on a subject that mattered to Proton. Otherwise…

Just throw it onto the pile, I guess

There are benefits to either approach, but using an animated webp image has the benefit of using the same workflow, semantics and markup as a gif (aside from accessibility concerns…

I love IRC, particularly #freenode. I really detest having to first search out then go through the whole process of signing up for yet another Slack group.

Thank you, I'll check that out.

I've never seen an entry level product manager job, only jobs that require years of experience. Is that a position that only happens through internal promotions at larger companies…

As a newspaper developer, let me tell you, a horrible flaming death isn't good enough for it.

I'm not at all surprised, but I am disappointed (to say the least).

Oh nice. A company that does nothing but collect personal information. I’m already in their identity protection program, so I'm a little nonplussed at this.

Literally teams of interns manually re-typing old articles from microfilm. OCR isn't quite there yet, not for dealing with the ways newspapers and newspaper design has changed over…

One of the biggest issues is that a lot of newsrooms have zero control over their CMS, because they're owned by a corporate entity that dictates IT decisions from afar, slowly and …

It's also great if you you're doing a bunch of time/pitch mangling.

Probably compressing the living daylights out of it. By squashing it down, they flatten the amplitude in the music and things with a lot of transients (by definition, drums) suffer…

It's been long established that reading aloud to your children is one of the best ways to advance their early learning. ( https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=226717…

What timing! I was just telling my coworker this morning that Transmit was the best money I ever spent on tools I use for web development. I've been using Transmit for a long, long…

The second this happens, will people tune out and revolt against it, making it no longer "pop"? What will be the post-AI pop music?

I use Tachyons for 99% of my styles, writing minimal amounts of highly specific styles. My productivity has gone way up and I no longer have to worry about CSS pretty much at all.

This is what I encourage all of our team to do, it just seems like a no brainer. Having stray "testing" strings pop up in our logs without any source is hella annoying.

This is a false dichotomy. Abandoning a website because of a paywall !== bad user experience. The UX can be fine, but the user may be poor. Many websites have restricted logins and…

A time machine is the only solution. As a web developer for a family-owned newspaper who recently removed our failure of a metered-paywall, the only solution I've been able to come…

Isn't this one of the stated features of the Tor browser?

In my opinion that book should be the starting point. The official tutorials have you way deep in the weeds with database migrations and stuff before you even have a basic understa…

Have you checkout out O'Reilly's Lightweight Django book? It basically goes through all of this, starting with a single file Django app.
