If you can’t scroll down to see various swatch sets grouped by shade then you’re not seeing what you’re supposed to see. Works fine on FF for me but I don’t have Android.

Right. $18 is 6% of $300. For that to be a difference of little consequence, $300 must be an expenditure of little consequence. In the other direction $300 is 6% of $5000. There are people— a number of whom likely frequent this forum— for w

Appreciate it. I got through about 10 paragraphs of preamble and disclaimers before giving up. I’m sure this document is what the community and author need it to be, but only being interested in the technical takeaways, your comment at leas

It’s a matter of perspective, though. For a white collar professional in the US? Sure. For most of the world’s population, the distinction between $300 and $18 is extremely consequential.

I worked for a household-name-prestigious school (not as an academic) and they essentially used adjuncts for their cash-cow open enrollment classes knowing that people that were passionate and/or wanted to get the big name on their res

I’ve worked in several professions, with dev being the longest— I’ve encountered more bullshit and incompetence from devs than any other industry I’ve worked in except for tech support. I’ve heard developers saying they’ll simply ‘pivot’ if

Sure. There’s overlap with a lot of things. This developer said that it was (paraphrased) ‘hard for him to take people like mechanics seriously because they lack his superior debugging skills.’ There was no attempt to draw similarities. He

I’ve only seen a handful of people use it for local development but I’ve seen plenty of people use it for servers in production. Look like the latest cpython has a JIT built in. It would be cool if it saw the same gains that ruby did.
