I grew up in Paris and that’s where I’m raising my son right now. I think there couldn’t be a kid-friendlier place (other than cost): - I can walk to a gigantic park with many play…

I can’t speak for other cities, but Paris absolutely does not fit that mold: the highest density of people is in the very center of the city (or immediately adjacent cities), where…

You can leave the newborn in the stroller and lower the whole thing yourself or with someone’s help. You can hold the newborn and ask someone to fold the stroller. You can take the…

I live in outer Paris (19th) and have the exact same experience. I’ve taken strollers on the subway without an issue and people are eager to help you (it should be easier, of cours…

> Right now in Paris, when you have a newborn, the only mobility solution is to take an Uber if you need to go somewhere >1km from where you leave. Buses are very slow and crowded,…

Are they very dangerous for children? Are there statistics? It doesn’t really freeze in Paris anymore so it's a moot point, but you can ride bikes when it does (you need different …

I live in the 19th district of Paris—probably the cheapest district within city bounds, with the 20th, and not in the center—and I have no issue living with an under 2-year-old. He…

It’s false that cyclists routinely ride on the sidewalk in Paris, let alone at full speed. They ride on the road (car and bus lanes) and in bike lanes. It’s true, however, that on …

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. A blind outside is just like a curtain, except that to whatever extent it heated up it is heating up directly outside (via radiation or co…

I'd be interested in a link about low E coatings that depend on the sun angle, a quick search doesn't yield anything. Either way it's not a sufficient solution because AFAIK even t…

Curtains work poorly at keeping heat out, in large part because the temperature differential can be extreme if you let sunlight hit the curtain (that and air convection behind the …

Of course they help in those climates too. It's better if it's 100F inside than 120F, which is what you'll get if you let the sun in with no shade-making device. You'll find ways t…

The opposite would be a more interesting example to argue against the original statement.

If you don’t trust yourself to have backup keys, you use the Google or Apple ecosystem. As long as you can get back into your Google or iCloud account, you can get back into every …

That’s not a technical advantage over Yubikeys/SoloKeys, since they also use WebAuthn and are also unphishable.

It’s not that difficult: you use a PIN/passphrase protected hardware token. Done.

Imagine your doctor or pilot eschewing “best practices” and what your reaction would be. There’s a reason knowledge communities build consensus. Best practice doesn’t mean you’re a…

The benefit of React is that it’s declarative. Vanilla JS is imperative/procedural. If you build anything semi-complicated, you’ll build your own declarative framework.

The inaccessible to non-sighted users, non-computer interpretable canvas? The one where we’d need to reinvent text flowing, resizability, the box model, etc? That’s what you think …

I don’t understand your comment completely. The “traditional” SSR frameworks (PHP, Rails, Express) didn’t make it easy to componentize things, instead trying to divide logic by bro…

I don’t think JS is much worse than other dynamically typed languages to be honest. In Ruby you’d get an exception instead, which is mildly better than `NaN` in your user-visible t…

React is orders of magnitudes simpler than K8s. You can write your own React in a day probably.

I hope these succeed, but we still need transpilation/bundling: - TypeScript needs transpilation and it’s very popular - Bundling is still beneficial with H2/H3, if only so that co…

Looks like local storage has a max size of 5MB and cookies 180 * 4KB = 0.7MB, so a similar order of magnitude. AFAIK, cookies can be set to expire in hundreds of years by sites and…

It’s trivial to emulate cookies with other Web APIs (storage + service worker, for one). You’re focusing on the label of the toggle and not user intent. If a website can send infor…
