That page also lists examples of semantic and visual uses of bold and italics, which sound pretty reasonable to me. As for it not being critical due to inconsistent screen reader support--it sounds like a chicken and egg problem. If develop

OK, now I can see that there could be e.g. a two-word brand name, where one of the words is simply bolder than the other, as a purely visual effect. And then IMHO it would be incorrect to use <strong>. As for the difference between &l

CSS frameworks like Bootstrap provide nice default styles for many of those semantic tags, that convey their meaning. And then using them becomes almost habitual. Personally I like to use "semantically correct" tags, as that someh

Obviously I have no idea what you situation is, and multiple issues can have similar symptoms. And also I'm not a professional. Last but not least, I might be reading too much from your comment, and write useless or over the top stuff.

OK, I'm sold :) But, I've searched for it on amazon.pl and it's not there. Not sure how it works, but so far all books for amazon.com that I wanted, were there. Is there a checkbox somewhere that you can click and put it on a

I'm just your average programmer and so I don't know much about "marketing strategy", but I can write you what I would buy, and why. Basically, I've tried dozen cookbooks but at this moment I have only one. The titl

I can't tell anything about 1. and 3., but depending on how you do 2. it might be a form of mental exposure from CBT. Assuming you reach the threshold level (i.e. you're outside your comfort zone), and stay there, a habituation ha

I have no idea how hard it would be, I've never tried to read Belarusian or Russian (I guess mainly because I don't know cyrilics). But just as I wrote in a neighboring comment, maybe you could use Google Lens or something like th

Given that we're talking about Stanisław Lem, what about using something like Google Lens to translate the text on the fly? :)

That's very cool! IIRC I tried to write a very simple Turbo Vision clone (or subset) but I couldn't fully comprehend how the nested widget initialization worked. I mean, I knew the last parameter was a pointer to the next widget,

Ha, thanks for refreshing my memory that it was 5.5 that added OOP! I started with 4.0, so that's my baseline. Then 5.0 added overlays (IIRC) and 6.0 introduced Turbo Vision, which was a kind of magic to me :). It's interesting ho

This brings memories.. I remember running Turbo Pascal 4.0 under PC-Ditto (XT emulator) on Atari 520ST :-)). It all looked mysterious and raw comparing to GEM [1], but it was probably my first _serious_ programming setup. The Atari was from

Yes, The Invincible is a great book. Actually I've just realized that for me a re-read is overdue! BTW, for Polish users--there's a comic book [1] that makes a nice gift (tested). [1] https://www.dobrestronybooki.pl&#x2

Since this is HN, let me share me an idea I had one day. Psychology/CBT says that we have so called "core beliefs"--i.e. convictions we hold, that we're not really aware of as they are embedded deep in our minds. For ins

Just wanted to say I wish you all the best in your fight! I'm really happy that you found a way out, even if it's long and difficult. I know firsthand what "unexplainable levels" mean.. Good luck!

Yes, exactly, the jokes were in the moment, and an hour later it was all gloomy again. The short story is that I basically filled in countless CBT sheets, spotting distortions and correcting my thoughts. And at some point it started to sin

Think of depression as of climate, whereas goofy + funny + jokes is like weather. Weather today can be good, even if global warming is beyond 2C. I'm writing this as someone who was depressed but still tended to joke around people. No

For me the hard part was to convince myself that the distortions were actually real. I mean, on paper I could see there were distortions in my thinking, but my guts were still telling me that "those people are out there to get me&quo

There was a related thread recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38301414 (Show HN: I made a 30-day social anxiety challenge). I can't vouch for the challenge, but many comments there were helpful IMHO.

In my case the increased anxiety was basically rumination--constant, repetitive thinking whether I looked good in the eyes of the people I talked to, etc. It was basically trying to retroactively control other people's thoughts with th

If you combine Celery with supervisord it's important to check the official config file[1]. At least two settings there are really important - `stopwaitsecs=600` and `killasgroup=true`. If you don't use them you might end up with
