Can you link to this please? Intuitively it seems every Core Web Vital would be improved by less code. I found this post [1] but it seems a but outdated and references AMP, which C…

Only ~60% of eligible US voters voted in 2016 and 2020, Trump lost the popular vote both times, "half of the country" did not vote for him.

Not gone, but that's the direction we're heading (hopefully). > it may currently still be best to use a framework or library to present these, or to use a custom input of your own.…

Fair gripes, although bikes have "dealerships" too that will typically help you select and maintain your steed. The problem with lighted turn signals is that motorists don't expect…

One drawback being how easy today's derailleurs are to adjust and tune with simple tools. Run the cable, set the High, set the Low, and you're done. > the Ford derailleur appears t…

Do you understand what a "class" is in HTML? Do you understand that the class "commtext" doesn't appear anywhere in the source code for HN? The comment colors are controlled by cla…

> The rule is commtext { color: black; } No it's not, it's more complicated: https://pastebin.com/aMYiGr05 (and there's no "commtext" class). So it's literally harder than you thin…

Yes, a custom CSS theme is easy to make, for web developers. https://pastebin.com/aMYiGr05 It's not for my friend, who's a contractor. He finds working with concrete to be easy tho…

Agreed, it's not accessible; if you write your own accessible theme, it will have an accessible theme. Your apartment building doesn't have a wheelchair ramp? That's on purpose. If…

Reddit had large, high-contrast text and tap targets. Downvoted comments did not have their color contrast reduced. If we're getting specific, HN does not look that similar.

There's "bad design" (subjective) then there's "fails to meet accessibility standards" (objective). HN would not pass WCAG 2.0 AA for a large number of reasons. Tap targets and ill…

This is known as "cognitive accessibility" and often neglected. MDN has a good writeup on it and mentions ADHD specifically. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibil…

To be fair it was partially related to a bug in Chromium, and was fixed in 2017 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/22900

I'm searching for information on "dog". Your suggestion of "dog facts" returns 6 pages from the same domain, dogquotes.com. It's unreadable on mobile because it's so old, all the f…

What "fundamental redeeming quality" about uninstalling AIM from Windows 3.x motivated making that the 3rd result for "dog"? The 5th result is a tutorial on CSS. This search engine…

Wouldn't this just skew towards really old sites? The third search result for "dog" is this page on how to remove AOL Instant Messenger, published in 2002. https://sillydog.org/net…

I write CSS everyday and I had no idea what "fs" meant. "fz" is the typical shorthand used for font-size (at least by Emmet-style autocompleters). "fs" is used for font-style inste…

Can you believe a new iPhone 5 only included a 5W USB-A power adapter?! Compare that with an iPhone 10 5 years later, which came with a beefy 5W USB-A power adapter.

And they may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases. This being a perfect example. Jedberg never heard of Spotify using Scrum "…

> Spotify uses agile and some of the teams use Scrum Wait, that contradicts what you just said. Your friend that works there hasn't mentioned Scrum in 10 years! Thanks for confirmi…
