My boomer father, who drives Fords pretty much exclusively, loves to tell me how bad it is that the Tesla I drive doesn't have AM radio. Meanwhile, I didn't even notice and couldn'…

Ran into this on nytimes.com. Ended up using the polyfill. The benefits of dialog are just too great to not use it. So much easier than using other modal libraries or rolling your …

My parents took me on a trip via the California Zephyr, Coastal Starlight, and Empire builder when I was 5 years old. I'm now in my 40s and that was one of the most memorable trips…

Wasn't it an internal letter that was leaked? I mean sure, being leaked is a predictable consequence, but it may be a distinction with a difference if the criticizers didn't themse…

Every time this guy tweets, I regret my purchase more and more. Can't he just keep it focused on the cars and the share price? Instead it always has to be some ego trip about how h…

Apparently sheep are the right thing to graze. Cows and horses are too big. Goats tend to bite at the cables. Sheep are small enough to fit in and around the solar panels and won't…

Zillow's attempt at flipping was certainly not helping. Even if it doesn't improve things, at least it is not hurting anymore. The trend of big companies buying single family homes…

Starkey is not exactly a quality company and I would be more than happy to see them put out of business. They tried to shaft their employees out of retirement money, they inflated …

I've been a happy user of the same version of 1Password 6 for many years, the last non-subscription version. It still works on MacOS Big Sur, and the classic extensions work in Fir…

Yes. Years of experience with AMP and measuring website performance on a very high traffic website.

Fun think about core web vitals and amp: AMP pages will _always_ win core web vitals, because they're measured from google's CDN, where they can be pre-rendered. Unless the page is…

Oh, thanks! I didn't know about the temporary containers extension. Very useful!

Multi-account containers are awesome: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers Also good to keep non-chrome browsers alive.

Not true. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) has been shown to reduce frontal crashes by about 43% and injuries in those crashes by 64%. That's a pretty big sizable jump. I can pers…

Did you read what I wrote? I drove it down the street at a cardboard box and it slammed on the brakes and stopped.

The fact that there isn't a word about accessibility in this blog post is beyond disheartening. I would really like to know how they're doing it. Is it the Accessibility Object Mod…

Uhh, no, it's totally correct that it will slam on the brakes. Source: own a Subaru, have driven it at a cardboard box in the middle of the street, and have had it slam on the brak…

Can happen with non-TOR, too. Cloudflare is a cancer on the web for this kind of awfulness.

This is what should be done with Police departments in some places.

The problem I have with this is that it makes people create and manage an account. My 90 year old grandmother is not gonna manage that. I made a little hack for wordpress that lets…

This is neat. I’ve often thought of building my own since no smart thermostats support the millivolt system my 50 year old boiler uses.

> Can anyone quantify the harm to the public? Drive down ad rates for non-google content, which severely hurt other digital publishers, like news sites. This made it basically unsu…

With the upcoming Core Web Vitals, you'll get penalized for this. It measures the aggregate speed of chrome users.

This is a genius bit of marketing.
