while i can appreciate the idea, in LA, there's basically zero chance we get such a car-free network of streets, so i advocate for replacing free street parking with dedicated bike lanes. ideally, also narrowing the car lanes too for t

i've played with container queries recently (via safari tech preview and ungoogled chromium), and they're not quite the panacea they could be. you still often need extraneous container divs to achieve some of the layouts/resp

yah, i’ve found that there are a couple “natural” breakpoints that depend on min- / max-content, where things are single column under about 400-500px (~40-50ch), 2 or 3 column above that, and either width constrained above ~1200px or m

that’s usually referred to as the paradox of choice and is an active area of research in psychology and decision theory (economics).

after copying to clipboard, you can also paste it into an empty preview window by hitting ctrl-N (with preview in the foreground). you can paste additional clippings from the clipboard as impromptu layers that you can drag around on top of

that's the billion dollar question. literally, if you can solve that problem, then it's worth billions, as you'd be able to replace the indeeds of the world. i'd strongly contend that no one has even come close to actual

interviews are good for weeding out the absolute no's and that's about as good as you can get with those. a live coding session gives you marginally more information in that regard, but won't give you definitively more. a 10-

the point is that those aren't "experts", but rather, reporters with differing motivations. don't look for experts, look for arguments you can verify through your own experience and validate through your own thought expe

right, they want to draw people to the appletv app and entice them to subscribe to appletv+, via, for example, a tie-in with "ted lasso". in any case, they'd most certainly roll up those mls subscriptions into total subscribe

by clairity 4y ago
it's likely a loss leader strategy to get subscription numbers up. the long term goal is to replace cable... with cable-like appletv+. they're not expanding the pie, but rather fighting to capture existing pie, particularly agains

the problem with soccer and rankings is that it suffers from wholly inadequate sample sizes, or alternatively, goals are too "big", encompassing and compacting too much information, to be used for dissecting quality. soccer rankin

interesting, these are more 'western' than the ghibli catalog as a whole, which does have some western stories. it almost seems like they were looking for less familiar material, much like i've been doing for the past number

personally, i don't watch enough tv to have cable and use an appletv on a restricted vlan (no internet to the tv) to watch streaming services, but also will occasionally watch broadcast tv OTA. google is completely blocked at the firew

any time you face a false dichotomy like nature/nurture, choose both. unproductive debates like these (>100 comments so far) stem entirely from a fallacious base. it's tiresome and boring (which technically makes it against hn

you can still use table layout, just not tables for layout, via `display: table` and it's many cousins (table-row, table-cell, etc.). it's a bit cumbersome, so not something to use everywhere like the old days of tables plus spa

also, quantity is the (primary) independent variable in economies of scale, and at quantities of dozens for nuclear plants, you can't get much economies, as opposed to when quantities are in the many thousands/millions.

it's frustrating to see the most relevant and informative comment at the bottom while tangential blathering sits at the top. thanks for pointing out that css font settings can be scoped to fonts, even if it's firefox only for now.

no, you're posting all over this thread about random other factoids rather than focusing on how systemic sex abuse was fostered in not one, but multiple, public institutions, or about how and why the legal system should attack such aff

the point is that this is a deflection, whether consciously intended or not. you didn't have anything more relevant to say so you succumbed to subconscious biases to post this random factoid.
