I don't know if it's just me (checked in Firefox and Chrome), but the black text on the red buttons is really hard to read. I'd suggest using white, unless you had some reason to u…

It's time to stop. Too much mental overhead in front-end dev right now.

I don't care what anybody says, ColdFusion was a beautiful mess and fun to write.

During that time, the web was mostly brochure websites. No revenue was generated from these sites as they were purely informational. "Web 2.0" was born during this time (maybe a li…

Turbo Pascal's UI was magical and perfect.

Why/how did Git's UX become so bad?

This is the most hacker news conversation ever.

Motorola does a pretty good job. Their "bloatware" is mostly the Moto app, which provides really handy and reliable gestures like a double "chop" to toggle flashlight, twisting the…

It's Flash Player all over again! Remember when SEO became important and everyone who had a Flash website had to make "low bandwidth HTML" sites for indexing? :)

Honest question from someone who has never worked at a Bay Area startup: What do all these developers at these tech companies do all day? As a freelance developer who has to meet r…

It's tiny on Desktop too on a my 27" 1440p main monitor. I have it permanently zoomed in at least ~150%. There's no need for the font size to be that small in today's environment o…

I do wonder how much longer Reddit can continue. Based on the numbers I can find, it doesn't look like they're making very much in the grand scheme of things. The best estimate I f…

Yeah, it's too late to shift it, but from everything I've seen when researching on Charity Navigator, leadership at non profits is viewed similarly as C-suite with regard to salary…

Even if none of this was rooted in retribution or racism or unilateral decision making, the fact that a group representing some of the brightest developers working today did not ha…

She's able to do all this and still live comfortably and live her dreams. I wonder why more wealthy don't do things like this. It seems most just write a check to Charity X for the…

Funny, but like, what ever happened to that post-jQuery push to use as little resources as possible, when the mobile web was starting to overtake the desktop web? We seem really wa…

If all you need is B/W, get the legendary Brother HL-2280DW. There might be a newer version of it.

When Apple inevitably copies that feature it will be "revolutionary"

I love the nod to the "a cure is just 5 to 10 years away". Sad but true :( As a T2D, I don't have a CGM but if I ever do need one I'll definitely check this out if it's still aroun…

Yeah, it's a little disappointing that they are being obtuse with some of the stats on the label. Data caps, overage fees and bandwidth throttling should definitely be highly visib…

I doubt you'll find many other industries that have as many unnecessary employees as you would in healthcare. Given that they're for-profit, they have every incentive to hire as ma…

You're thinking like an engineer. I'm confident your average person would understand that a PIN is insecure if it was explained to them. But think about other things in life that u…
