I nearly gave up on learning newer front-end JavaScript stuff like React & webpack and so on a few years ago because of spaces in paths. node-gyp doesn't like it when there's a space anywhere in your working path. Stuff I was

Thank you for your work on it! I used Sequel Pro for a long time for MySQL databases and occasionally use its successor Sequel Ace as well, but I'm moving my workflow to Beekeeper Studio as much as I can.

I've been trying out Beekeeper Studio [ https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/ ] recently, and like that it supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL (and others I don't use). The interface takes a little bit to get used to, but

I probably wasn't clear enough - children should be protected for a variety of reasons, but they should also be consulted about the issues they face and how best to protect them.

Instagram says they'll be consulting with "parents, experts and policymakers" but this leaves out a very important part of the 'safe apps for kids' ecosystem - the children themselves. They are using apps and online

It's not that it might be a problem - it is a real-world accessibility problem for people who use screenreaders. Should the software be able to detect context? Sure. But that's not where we are today and to withhold content from p

For me, datalist is almost an acceptable compromise for a typical combobox (input + select/dropdown) control. Custom solutions for that require JS and are not accessible or otherwise don't behave as a user would expect a standar

With select you have <option value="123">Customer Name</option> so the user sees Customer Name but submitting the form gets 123. With datalist you only have <option value="Customer Name"/> and

You're also stuck with whatever you put in the option's value attribute - very unlike how a <select> works where the option has text content and a value. Scenario: You've got customers, who have names and IDs. You want

Fair warning: Page 1 transfers about 8.3MB with 1,000+ HTTP requests. And will likely bring back memories of the 90s.

15 years ago, the office I worked in received daily menus via fax from local delis and restaurants with their specials, in case we wanted to get lunch. I have no idea if this is still a common practice but it seemed to be at the time. This
