Not everyone is on a US tech salary (no idea about the company in question – just saying that this doesn't apply universally).

Yeah, like… exactly what she's doing? People here are so willing to assume that she's doing all this out of self interest, because of what? A $500,000 book deal? Compared to what s…

Looking at the CSS variables page it seems that this is because they scale up the base font size at various breakpoints, starting at 106.25% at 576px, and going all the way up to 1…

I think that if people are trying to avoid plastics but unknowingly using them anyway due to misleading design or greenwashing then their heart is in the right place and we shouldn…

The whole point of my retro handhelds are to be an escape from this kind of complexity. I just want to sit down without any connection to the wider world and jump into some simple …

I think you're overstating it a bit. There were definitely features that couldn't be implemented due to MV3 limitations rather than because the developer chose to leave them out. h…

The next step is to click the project logo in the top left.

They mentioned at the top of the article that this is not the real name.

I don't think so. The data returned talks about loyalty, rewards, and gift cards.

This is exactly my experience, every time! If I offer it the slightest bit of context it will say 'Ah! I understand now! Yes, that is your problem, …' and proceed to spit out some …

It's boring, grey, and flat. It takes up too much space on the screen for very little reason (and I'm a fan of whitespace used well). It's generally unpolished with various element…

And yet I frequently see (in New Zealand), properties with oversized double garages (often built to fit oversized American vehicles) and driveways that take up half the land on the…

I'm self employed and use it (Beancount, as I like the more strict approach) for my business accounts and also for my stock portfolio. Fava, the web UI, is very handy for reporting…

There are graphical frontends like Celluloid. https://celluloid-player.github.io/

As a kiwi, are your able to make any of these (or your) projects? I'm quite interested.

You can also use %x(ls some/dir), which is a syntax used in other places too, like %w[word word word] (array of word strings, notice you can choose the delimiter).

They steal designs from independent fashion designers (because designing their own clothes would cost too much I guess). It's also the volume with Shein. They produce so much crap …

'Utterly inefficient' seems a bit hyperbolic.

These are important typographical features and I'm fairly sure this is handled by font rendering libraries, not the browser (other than handling the CSS rules), so I can't imagine …

Please stop diluting words like objectively for things that you just feel strongly about.

If only we all had such thoughtful regulation, yet we are not all so fortunate as those in Europe.

I was very surprised by the sound coming out of my mother's new iMac.

For me it's the flex-basis, -grow, -shrink that I can never get my head around. But I don't need to worry about that very often (which I guess is why it never really sticks in my h…

Why, are they also forcing you to throw away your old iPhone?

Meanwhile, just last year people living a couple of blocks from me were removing sludge a metre high from the floors of their homes due to river flooding levels we've never seen be…
