"Let me send you a PDF copy so you can read this material when it's convenient for you." Interesting approach to collecting email addresses. I wonder how well that converts? After all, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+P, bookmarks and various &q

This looks great, especially as CSS is fairly easy to style. I'd like to use it on my website. While it has a lot of brand icons (including the luxury company Chanel?!), ones I consider important, like GitHub, are currently missing. h

Is there a special designer school you go to, to learn how to draw those colorful, generic human figures (behind the search)? Reminds me a bit of the "Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell" style. Seems like I see this pop up as a design tre

This seems like a really useful service in the accessibility realm. I'm not sure whether targeting "grandparents" specifically is the best move. I can see myself using a service such as this in another country, where I have b

My god, I enjoy reading these Adam Neumann/SoftBank/WeWork stories. They feel like real-world soap operas: Crazy fights, ridiculous amounts of money, strange twists and turns and a protagonist who aspires to live forever, to becom

I still really enjoy the tidbit that the name JavaScript was a Netscape marketing move to benefit from the "hotness" of Java. "Since Java was the hot new programming language at the time, this has been characterized as a mark

"There is one more option for super paranoid people. Backup all your data." I would argue that this should apply to everyone, not just the paranoid! The fact that most companies make this easier nowadays, like the linked Google Ta

I like doing as much as possible from the command line, but this has me slightly confused. Anyone have a good example use case that would involve this tool?

Good to see that I am not alone at being upset about the current snap vs. deb vs. flatpak Ubuntu situation. I always considered a unified package management system as a huge plus.

Neat! agent.js initially failed on my site, as it wasn't the last script on the page and siteId was set to null (line 14): var siteId = scriptElements[scriptElements.length - 1].getAttribute('data-siteId'); Maybe t
