I hate auto-advancing fields. Auto-focus on page load puts you in the right place to start. Auto-advancing disrupts you in the middle of typing. I would auto-advancing only if I am creating a form I am certain will be used over and over aga

Isn't that everything? We used to divine personality from the stars, or from bumps on the skull. We use to stab patients' brains and sever connections. Everything is not obvious until you start applying some scientific method.

The person you are replying to is saying the opposite. Watches are common (and the sky everywhere will warn you). But a tornado WARNING comes without enough time to broadcast and react. No one is surprised by all the conditions that point

The password doesn't get brute forced via an API. The threat model would be more like your salted and hashed passwords got exported and now they can be brute forced. A 12 character password in the DB can be brute forced in seconds or m

My answer to the question is thumb, pinkie, index. Thumb (cmd, near spacebar), pinkie (shift), index (r). And this particular key combo is quite comfortable.

Besides legal, I think it's important to realize that there is a very emotional response to discovering that your password is not good. I know a company that started doing quarterly brute-forcing of passwords as a security check and th

That person's website DEFINITELY does not try to drive you insane with CSS that slowly changes second-by-second. It's fine. It's normal. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

That's really weird to attribute it to North America. I find the norms are different pretty much everywhere I've been. East Coast, Midwest, West Coast, city vs suburb. In some places the pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way (c

I'm just pointing out we had all this before in the 90's, we loved it, and it didn't work. What's different this time? We REALLY want it this time? The article doesn't point out anything that hasn't been tried.

That's exactly how I used to do it- categorized links with descriptions. Once that takes off, we can scrape bookmarks list and descriptions. We assign webpages with lots of incoming links as more interesting (bonus if it's updated

It's really not what I want to be doing on a vacation. The bargain is a hotel discount in exchange for a sales pitch. Sounded ok when I booked the vacation. Really annoying when it was preventing me from getting to the next fun thing.

I accepted the timeshare faustian bargain and regretted it. I'd rather be dissuaded by 2 hours of reading an article at home than learning through the experience of a 2 hour sales pitch during my vacation time.

Your ground meat is wet- are you defrosting it before cooking? Hard to get up to temp- are you using vegetable oil? Heat the pan. Heat the oil. Put the meat in. It's basically starting to brown immediately. Like the blind kitchen says-

"Bunch of people" doesn't seem like a good characterization considering he's at least partially responding to Martin Kulldorff, a professor of medicine and biostatistician at Harvard and a co-author of the GBD.

If we don't have a viable solution, do we really understand the problem? Not being facetious. Saying we know that people are hungry is like saying my computer doesn't do the thing I want it to do. The difficult part is (in both ca

I think you might be missing the point. Power and data in the same cable is a huge advantage of USB-C (both Apple connectors had power and data in the same cable). Third parties will make out-of-spec cables no matter what. Some of the ways
