The article says they installed their own servers, though. What am I missing here?

I assumed you meant parents and I was saying, "but also sometimes the kids!"

What is better about it? I switched back to FireFox several years ago (with a very brief stint on Arc in there) after using Chrome for years and I couldn't describe a single hit I …

It had a pretty annoying bug on Mac (which I ass-u-me was a memory leak) up until a couple of years ago. Every time you'd try and tab back to it, there would be a delay that would …

Or, "tell me your family is bearable to be around without telling me."

Dogs also figured this out, and it goes both ways. This is why they stare at you when they're going, especially when they're puppies.

If that's how it was, most people would be too terrified to use, let alone pay for, software that boasts unpredictability as a main feature. I 100% agree with you, of course.

Ya, I've been doing this almost 20 years and never even thought about a manager position. I always tell everyone in interviews that I'm "IC for life."

I'm not calling you bad programmer, but one always has to take into account that our industry has no accreditation.

Like what?

Oh really? I always assumed as I never thought horizontally centring was ever a huge problem. Vertical was the actual hard thing for a long time (which is something table cells cou…

I've had enough of Google and I don't even work there.

That's fine but it only centres horizontally. Usually when people talk about "the div centring problem" they mean x and y, dead centre (as this article is).

My time spent commenting on HN is decompressing time, engaging with (hopefully) humans. Committing to reading a blog post or article is a whole other category.

Oh ffs, I knew it was a mistake to engage with you but couldn't help myself. Have fun.

LOL, TF are you talking about? It's neither a political nor ethical, it's practical. It's about not wasting your previous time on earth reading garbage the author doesn't understan…

Yes, stock photography is also lame, but at least their creators gave permission. It's my dream that "AI" is going to make us look back and reconsider some of the pre-era slop we'v…

No idea why anyone would downvote this, it's true. As someone else pointed out "b = basic." And does anyone think it will adjust with inflation?

Everything you're saying is oddly simultaneously specific and hand-wavy at the same time. I say this because I'm not sure a lot of these things are solvable or, if they are, it's g…

Wish I'd thought of this one, lol.

I'm hoping something of the opposite happens. I still see airbrushing, along with things like music quantization, auto-tune (and manual tuning), "perfect" design, etc etc, as hugel…
