This is excellent advice. I started off with Trout Mask Replica and thought "hm, maybe this isn't for me", but then I listened to the song "Love Lies" on a whim, then the rest of the album, and was hooked.

Ditto. The lack of assigned seats has been the number one reason why I have avoided Southwest. I usually like to pay for seat upgrades. I have found that there seems to be an unwritten code amongst upgraders that we're not going to be

Different strokes for different folks. I think it's important to find a good balance. I've seen Go and C projects that don't use enough directories, so navigating the code can be a little untenable. In the example given in

That's totally fair. There are large parts of the Midwest that I haven't spent enough time in to making sweeping generalizations. I've only driven through the states west of Illinois. I also haven't spent much time on th

I think you nailed it. However, as someone that grew up in the midwest, then spent 5 years living on the west coast, I would say that lumping the midwest in with the west coast for this statement is wildly inaccurate: > I do feel people

Well, unfortunately nobody did invent a new word. Considering a cursory search of the definitions of both words: Kind: of a sympathetic or helpful nature Nice: pleasing, agreeable I would argue that they are actually different.

Ever since that back and forth about "East Coast being kind vs West Coast being nice" thing a while back[1], I think it's important to distinguish the two. Because they are noticeably different (at least to me) and shouldn&#x

Hello HN! I recently realized I was fed up with how much random digital crap I have all over the internet and decided it was time to clean it up. I'd love to hear from other folks that might feel the same way. If you were able to tidy

Unfortunately, there might be too much IP in the code (it was for a team presentation at a company I contract for). I could probably scrub that out and put it up on GitHub, though.

Tom Waits did some advertising work when he narrated a dog food commercial [1], but I think his artistic integrity is still intact considering all he did was a voiceover (no singing). In true Tom Waits fashion, when he was asked about why

by codelikeawolf 2y ago
The title attribute is not accessible, so its use is generally discouraged as an accessible label because screen readers can't pick it up (it's fine to use if you combine it with aria-label). Also, you can only show text in a ti

So I think this API would just allow a bad actor to get your credentials in a way that adheres to accessibility guidelines . It doesn't enable them to do anything they couldn't do before programmatically.

When I first read about this API a while back, I thought the same thing. But it's perfect for adding complex controls on top of inputs when you have limited real estate (e.g. clicking on an input with a font name and showing a font pic

In a nutshell, Wasm is essentially a CPU with a tiny instruction set. It's very primitive and minimal, but I think that was the point. If you need to do something with numbers in a web app, it's pretty neat. If you need to work wi

I don't think that's a very good goal. Jettisoning the DOM means jettisoning accessibility and being able to leverage everything that the browser gives you out-of-the-box. You have to render to a canvas and build everything from s

If you use JetBrains products, I've been pretty happy with their AI assistant. I feel like it's less disruptive than GitHub Copilot. If I ask it to write some code, it does a pretty decent job, otherwise it stays out of my way.
