I don't mean that it was literally named for the dropdown, just that generally Helvetica was the cause and Arial was the effect. From what I know, it goes back earlier to when Monotype was providing fonts for IBM printers. From what I

The general public was often using Times New Roman or whatever their system's default sans serif font was. But, designers have cared about things like this for a very long time (ages, as you said.) Arial is joined at the hip with Helve

I don't know anything about Adguard, but good on the team for doing the extra digging instead of just going along with the claim. Even better that they're sharing what they've found with everyone else.

Thanks for the input. The keyboard control piece is a good call-out. Personally, I don't have my access to my normal computer/environment at the moment, so I've just been trying to go by the spec when necessary and hope for t

Thanks! Sorry if I came off as brash, time has been tight recently. You've already put a lot of work into a very informative article, and it's appreciated. The outlook is solid. I'd like to find an opportunity to revisit some

Okay, but are those radio tabs accessible? I think that if you want to follow WAI-ARIA practices, the aria-selected, tabindex and aria-controls need to be updated via JS when the active tab changes? I'd love to be wrong about that. Acc

Looking at what's been going on in the E.U. vs. the U.S., it seems pretty clear that one of the only things companies this big, with this much control over the markets fear is regulation. Maybe people live in a country where adding new

My understanding from folks outside the U.S. is that they desire U.S. products because they trust the safety more. I'm not sure everyone quite understands that by gutting [regulations], they trash part of their international advantage.

Lots of us have had to implement changes we've disagreed with or pushed back on, but this one looks so obviously wrong, it's particularly mind boggling. I'm almost inclined to think maybe the process/tech isn't desi

It feels to me that insightful details about what's going on have been coming out of tech/startup publications like TechCrunch and Wired instead of some more traditional news media. These stories feel relevant to the communities a

My point is: when looking for the "root cause" of these problems, people shouldn't stop asking when they get to the rent being high, that's a symptom. Additionally, if people care about helping younger generations, it&#x

My thoughts are similar, but I think the cost of commercial space is also driving costs up for everyone, so I classify it as "rent." I'd love to see data, but small businesses (at least in certain sectors) seem bare able to s

Ah. I never had Inbox, so now it makes some sense to me (at least from a historical perspective.)

Turning off tabbed inbox was huge in helping me get down to zero emails. It got me back to one stream of data to watch and manage. Something comes in, I see it and process it. It also made the number of unread easier to reason about. I do u

It's a story about a different company and being a public benefit corporation is different than being a non-profit. It's simply not that relevant. It's not that strange.

I didn't say anything about DDG. Plus, the internet is full of influence campaigns and "organic marketing," so there's plenty of reason to be mindful and question what you're seeing/reading. A suspiciously larg

They should mention inconveniences in the review, those are relevant. My take is that while reviews can be weaponized (and Steam does attempt to flag that,) companies are throwing the phrase "review bombing" around to try and unde

The chart can differ in different companies or sectors. In my mind, it comes back to what you want to be able to report on. Some companies may have a larger and more detailed chart of accounts so that they can have very specific breakdowns
