   A few weeks ago I tried to convert one of my asciinema recordings to a SVG with svg-term-cli [1], but the result had big problems with some browsers, so I took the more mainstream gif approach again. Anybody tried termtosvg with different b

   I think it really depends what 'working' means. If it means to pick up the phone when it rings, a lot of founders have no problem working 23 hours per day. If it means doing high concentration, high focus work then some founders d

   Especially, canvas would become useless in an opt-in scenario and would just foster permission fatigue (people just clicking "Allow" because it makes those dialogs go away). Another option might be to define closely (pixel-by-pixe

    > The "Forget" button,... now clears service workers and their caches. Hooray :-) Decent Dev-Tools for service workers are essential for a good PWA developer experience.

    Yes, the FF Dev-Tools need some love. They have some cool features which are unavailable in Chrome (e.g. the CSS Grid view), but overall they tend to be less accessible (managing (wifi/usb) connected devices and service workers should

    Thanks, that is what I was looking for. I used defer just as convenience and wasn't aware (anymore) that it does something different than just pushing the function call to the end. Maybe it's time to take the Golang tour again ;-)

    I was wondering too. Does anybody know what makes defer so expensive?

    The evil part is that they are unclear about their conditions for the hosting. If all that would be part of their official 'Terms and Conditions' nobody would complain.

    To me it feels like the author of that project didn't get the point of resets. The problem without resets is not that some client/manager/designer wants to see a pixel perfect page, but that differently sized default elements

    So this looks like a nice client which can be used with different databases, but do I still have to write database specific SQL? The first example I can think of is the way you set the size of the result set in for the different databases (

    The answer to your question is: Since a few million years. Nevertheless, I understand your point. My point was more along the lines of criticizing 'correlation vs. cause' and providing equally weak arguments. What I believe is tha

    Exactly what I thought. Yes, respecting all the legal parameters can be time consuming when you are building something new features (especially in corporate environments), but actually I think laws like the GDPR are quite important in our m

    Probably just a joke as everybody seems to be a bit insecure these days about what is GDPR compliant and what is not.

    I think there is one factor missing: While it might be true that many of us are reading from left to right, our usage of UI is not necessarily defined by the same patterns as reading. When we start using a UI we certainly read every button
