Glad that you liked it. I like the "get a random page" function on your blog.

Thanks! This is the feed: https://tacosteemers.com/feeds/all.rss.xml Maybe I should also add it on the home page.

If you use a screenshot it is a good idea to also put the text below it or in the picture's alt attribute, for screenreaders.

> Modern backends and frontends can surely handle way more than 20 entries in a dropdown without sweating. I agree. I meant that I as a user will not find it usable enough if I often have to search the correct value in lists of 20 or mor

For large organisations the amount of entries in the dropdown is probably very large. To fill the dropdown would then require significant work on the server, and to build up and show the dropdown would require significant work on the client

I agree. It would help if the website owner added a way to load the site with a simplified style.

The redirect is for the humans. The page that does the redirect is for the applications, like Slack and Twitter. They will use the meta tags on that page to show a "social media preview".

After reading your reply I checked again and it does indeed work as expected on Windows at least, so that is great news to me.

Unfortunately the browser implementations of the HTML5 datepicker only make sense for an audience that understands the US date notation. They can't be configured, as far as I know.

Java enums also have functions. If they didn't we would need to write separate helper classes. Can you give a reason why we should not have them?

The weird thing is that it has an iframe that doesn't load, but the text is right there in the frame title in the parent document: > "You can either complain and pontificate on Twitter on how the tech industry should ideally

This is off-topic and not a criticism, my apologies if it is not well received. I am not sure if I worded this correctly. It helps to have some kind of introduction if we want to share our work with a wider audience. For this kind of topic

I do believe that online feed readers will only pull the feed once per x minutes for all their subscribers, instead of pulling the feed n times per x minutes. For example, all of Feedly's subscribers will only count for one pull.

Are there good browsers that we can fund by buying a copy/license?

Perhaps you are interested in these two comments by dang: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... I think this is what I was remembering.

If I recall correctly, that user was giving examples of questions that could be expected to be asked by other people. They were not actually tivializing Dropbox.

Maybe I am missing something? The idea seems to be 'using variables'. If so, it does not need a new name like 'design tokens'. Plain CSS itself supports variables and they are easy to use. The styling in the example is n

They probably mean that they don't like situations where the loss of one password element / harddisk means losing everything. In other words: they don't like having a single point of failure.

It seems to me that this does not add a lot of security if you use the same extra word for all passwords. It probably does add a lot of security if you use a different extra word for each password, but then you can't remember them anym

I see that they are almost the same, but my version would probably end up looking the same if I were to independently write a GUI for backups. Similar to how desktop word processors and browsers all look the same; some patterns just make se

I have this on the official Debian version. But I think it is not browser dependent, it is screen size dependent. The margin-left calculation on the toc class puts it outside of view. I think this can be solved by setting position: fixed an

Did you mean to ask if they are a contradiction in terms? I'm not an expert, but would say that they are not. As far as I can tell the modern word 'stoic' does not give a good idea of what Stoicism is about. In regards to fee
