Can I ask how “top 10” is defined? Is it the most common, or perhaps the most destructive to the individual?

There are still great use cases for using JS to handle animations instead of CSS, such as creating novel, dynamic images or 3D models in a canvas element (particularly when you wan…

I haven’t had my phone make noise in probably the last two decades. It’s always obtrusive to me and my phone is so often in my pocket anyway I can feel it vibrate or still hear it …

For me and my family, we only use AirBnbs when we’re traveling with another family or friends and we all want to stay in the same place so we can hang out and carpool easily. It ca…

Definitely. I thought this was going to be a single, semantically correct table that had some fancy use of the display property across the different elements to make them align dif…

Yeah, my assumption was that something in some layer of their application isn’t well optimized when asked to return posts from a subreddit that has “gone dark” in whatever fashions…

That’s technically true of most domain names. Bing would be more accurately named “bingsearchengine.com”, Apple would be “applecomputers.com”, etc. That said, Native Seed Search is…

That’s definitely true but I don’t think it’s that simple. I love some of the apps that are iOS native and how their preferential treatment makes everything work with security I tr…

I’m guessing it’s a thinly veiled reference to the fictional idea that if you steal less then $1,000 worth of valuables in CA you won’t be prosecuted. It’s constantly brought up by…

I think the difference there is that you can model a cargo ship to show that it will float, how it will do it, what configurations float and which don’t, etc. With LLMs like GPT we…

And that isn’t being said here. Frustration with a person’s family is one comment, discussions of the cultural problems on the south in another (denial/defiance), but regardless of…

I’m not really sure how this relates to the problem. People may be awful or cruel sometimes, but that doesn’t force civic leaders or individuals into making bad policy/personal dec…

Excellent question and not one I’ve bothered to solve, and you’ve pointed out a gaping hole in my backup plan. If I had to decide now, I’d say setting up a server that pulls my ema…

Are any of those processes user facing or in contact with users doing interviews with users or something similar? Or I guess given your experience: would you say they’re useful int…

First: Friendly reminder to everyone to back up your data and then back up your backups to a separate location. Second: I’m the person in my family who wakes up in a cold sweat wor…

How was Credit Suisse bailed out? It seems like they were closed and sold, as happens with a bank that fails. Bailouts, by 2008 standards, would have been giving money to Credit Su…

Honest question, how is (in the case of SVB and Select) making sure depositors don’t lose money while the bank itself is closed and assets sold off, holders of it’s debt (those who…

I also live in a “right to fire for whatever” state, often referred to as “right to work” which really means the right of employers to ignore union agreements and compensate indivi…

I can’t tell if you’re against minimum wage laws or not but I’ll say regardless that minimum wage laws show a boat in worker income and small employment effects: https://assets.pub…

Honest question: how many Norfolk Southern ads have you seen? Even just a ballpark number.

This is such a naive perspective of the world. The company should care equal parts about the the needs of the people who consume the product and those who produce it doing actual w…

Sure, some people act and think like that. But at the end of the day executives and the C level have no obligation other than returning as large a profit as possible to investors. …

Couldn’t agree more. Our interests as employees is far different from management and the C-suite. Don’t forget that board members currently have a legal obligation to provide value…

It is a fair point (I think your tone is what has set people off, and for the record I didn’t enjoy it either). The real question, in my opinion, is what does humanity do in genera…

Exclusivity is a two sided coin. Speaking as someone who dealt with the Teamsters Union at a few expos myself, it can be very annoying to not be able to carry your own boxes, or pl…
