I'd argue that UIs usually don't need something to carry through the transition, and that those kinds of animations can be dropped in most cases. I can see the use of animation in games, but for content-based sites/applicat

I think "don't be evil" was a good slogan, because at least it tried to encourage a culture of doing the right things, even if it's difficult to define "evil".

I block AMP pages too. Unfortunately, Google artificially slows down AMP pages so that they literally take 8 seconds to load if you block the AMP JavaScript. (Check the inline CSS.)

Animation is unnecessary in most cases. Minimal animation can be added where the UI would otherwise be unclear, but other than that it's visual spam. Animation should be like a very thin layer of icing on a cake, but we're getting

The Web was becoming unbearable until I started browsing with all CSS and JS off by default (using umatrix and 50,000 lines in my hosts file). It's an amazing improvement. If I can't read something, I enable some CSS and change th

That's interesting -- "kialo" is the Esperanto word for reason or motive.

Solarized has never worked for me, but gruvbox looks interesting. It looks like it's reducing the blue light from the screen, which might help with sleep problems. It looks a bit like my normal theme after f.lux[1] starts in the evenin

Static site generators like Pelican/Hugo/Metalsmith/Hexo/etc. are probably better replacements for WordPress than an SPA. SPAs aren't ideal for content based sites, unless server-rendered. (SPAs still appear to affe

It isn't unexpected, just interesting that it has more effect than taking (expensive) probiotics. It's information that people can act on without much difficulty.

It seems like a tobacco company making a tool that tells you how many cigarettes you smoke per day, and the results are displayed on the pack of cigarettes.

uMatrix is a good replacement for Ghostery. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/ Firefox has built-in tracking protection that can be enabled in non-private windows too.

Exposing your IP address to the public is much more risky than exposing it to Google.

I don't think anything is being loaded from Facebook there. When I check the network tab and umatrix, there are no network requests to Facebook.

The Thinkpad T-series is much cheaper than Mac with better specs and support. Put a Linux distro on it and it's a great computer for programming. I paid $1,900 for my current laptop (T-460) with 24 GB of RAM, 11+ hours of battery life,

The post should also mention AMP (E.E.E. for HTML) and Material Design animations (which appear to be applied to sites during rendering in Chrome, even when the sites don't use Material Design).

I wasn't able to lose weight and keep it off until I permanently eliminated certain categories of food: added sugars, refined grains, all flours, potatoes, dairy, eggs, most oils, and most meat. The only grain-like things I eat are ric

The fiber and nutrients make a difference. Fruit is healthy if you don't overdo it. (Not all fruits are sweet either -- like avocados, tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers.)

It probably helps to set a good example for kids. I eliminated nearly all sugar about three years ago and highly recommend it. Food is fuel, not a recreational drug. Added sugar is purely recreational.

That sounds like it would be fun to write. You could even load the search results in Helm (see the end of the video below). Then selecting a result could render the page in headless Firefox (or something like elinks) and send the text outpu

When old reddit goes away, there will still be this: https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv I think there needs to be a movement to bring the WWW back to basic, readable, low-JS, animation-free, content-based sites.

The Stylus extension is great for that. Firefox's style editor lets you test CSS edits in real time. Then copy those CSS rules into Stylus and the browser will remember them. I use it to turn off all CSS animation too. If you block all
