I appreciate what you've posted here. Valve fanboyism is widespread (I'm guilty of it too) and while they are shoulders above the alternatives, it's a good reminder that no one's p…

"The enemy's gate is down"!

Thank you! I scanned the text and scrolled through all the pics, and searched for `tenoch` and didn't get any hits. "The urban sprawl caused the lake system to dry up" glosses over…

I kept hoping they'd provide a reference of Tenochtitlan. Possibly the most striking thing I learned when visiting Mexico City. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenochtitlan

To hedge against increasing electric utility prices, maybe. I installed solar recently and the cost of batteries to cover a decent power outage didn’t make sense to me. I just got …

Silk road had a policy against selling items with intent to harm like guns. While occasionally some weapon listings would slip through, they would be taken down. The focus was drug…

No, silk road did not sell weapons. There was legal content like pornography and other media on there, but Ulbricht was an idealist and excluded material with "intent to harm".

Web accessibility describes specific requirements for people with disabilities to be able to use your website. If you don't implement these features, blind people, colorblind peopl…

Sure, they could be lazy in a lot of ways in how they execute this survey leading to unreliable results -- indeed, fielding it through something like qualtrics could be said to be …

> we need to assume that the survey was done of reviews.org visitors. That's pretty unlikely. Reviews.org likely engages one of many vendors (like Qualtrics[1]) that will solicit r…

Vacancy is for rentals. If you own a condo and leave it empty / don’t live in it, that doesn’t show up in a vacancy rate.

I disagree. There are plenty of folks who would rather see the natural world preserved for its own sake, even at the expense of human growth and survival. And plenty of folks dismi…

Tailwind classes are a syntax (especially since you can set arbitrary values e.g. `top-[-113px]`) and they still represent CSS. So really you're using a DSL with its own syntax, fu…

What if you need to render your button component as an anchor element? Or as a div with role="button"? You will want to abstract your button styles somehow so that they can be shar…

I think you may be misreading this. This isn't about some person becoming a new Christian. It's about a member of high society wearing a cross during a turbulent period of competin…

I respect that you feel safe in taking the lane and following the law. I agree with what you say about riding on the sidewalk. One of my greatest fears when riding a lot in the cit…

Here is a grossly simplified illustration: I'm approaching an intersection on my bicycle and the light ahead is red. The motor vehicle traffic is stopped at that red light. I pass …

This person wasn't performing an "Idaho stop" if they failed to yield to a pedestrian. They were just riding recklessly. Are you also against using cars for commuting, since they k…

Completely agreed. There's plenty of existing cyclist behavior that is not scalable and should be discouraged in whatever bike-specific rules of the road are considered.

In my experience, most people don't have a great understanding of what keeps cyclists safe in mixed traffic (i.e. not within a protected lane), and how opposed those things often a…

I would play it!

It's not a good example -- he's implying that you're irrationally upset over not liking a book while other people do like it, not that the book itself was too difficult for you. If…
