   I have seen some sites that only show a username field but nevertheless are compatible with my password manager (1Password). What I suspect is going on is that the password field is present but visually hidden (not missing and probably not

   There's a chance that some downvoters simply saw a third-world country being called "violent" and immediately mentally labeled the comment as being hateful or somehow Trumpian, despite this clearly not being the case.

    You’re exactly right. I have heard typographers express the maximum readable width as "two and a half alphabets," which is roughly 40em. A max-width of 40em is extremely responsive, making the most of your screen (on mobile) witho

    Hmm, just on the home page, or on actual articles? I don’t know why it wouldn't work on articles. (Edit: Actual articles are compatible with Safari’s reader mode. I don’t think you will find index pages are generally compatible, on any

    He took it way too far. Long lines are unreadable and 50 more bytes of CSS would fix it. I humbly submit my own blog as being pretty darn readable without bloat. It’s responsive and simple. https://alanhogan.com Edit: Here’s

    For real? For me, the Medium domain signals a high likelihood that the piece is poorly written and entirely unedited.

    What’s really interesting is that James considers Vice to be evil misogynists but that he "collaborated" with them because it benefitted him. He sees no irony in this and feels no guilt of association. Really makes you think... h
