I really have a hard time seeing semantic HTML catching on outside of big business where it’s audited and required for purchases. First modern CSS destroyed semantic styling. Selectors are written using mostly class names and there is not c

Born in Indiana, and at one point something like 40% of adult men belonged to the Klan (in the 20s-30s). The state government was controlled by the Klan. In rural areas, the Klan is still very active. Indianapolis has a large Black populati

Software comes in two flavors, platform and end user. Platform software is usually free and only monetized via service contracts. Platform software is rarely used directly and instead is used to build other software. End user software is ei

My younger siblings had this and I had it for one summer before I left home. It really sucked. Maybe it would be better if the parent and living conditions were equal, but that was not the case. So one week you have a nice bed and your own

Living with my girlfriend really opened my eyes to how many clothes women go through. She even tries to be responsible about it and sell items to second hand markets, but I still think it’s a bit crazy. - Women’s fashion cycles much faster

How long before all these CSS tricks come together to make a easily abusable injection mechanism? I know the `url()` mechanism is already abusable, but what about a small VM executed via `var` and `calc`?

Aren't emojis supposed to replace words, kind of like abbreviations? What's the point of having a word and an emoji that mean the same thing right next to each other? I would never write, "want a hamburger :hamburger:?"

I think a lot of the high functioning people who use THC could probably be even better without it. But what THC does is quiet a negative inner voice that prevents them from focusing and/or causes them to procrastinate. So the overall e

I see that now, seems like the site should list out the variables that it uses, and which is used for each element. It mentions `accent` for links, but seems like a handful are defined.

How do you theme this? The Showcase all has sites with a similar layout, but different color schemes. Do you have to modify the css file?

I often wonder if we need a modern, secular, monastic system. There will always be a percentage of the population who are unwilling to marry or would not make good partners no matter the economic incentive. Single and divorced men are often

Anything that cares about really small timescales would have issues. UTC and TAI seconds, microseconds, and nanoseconds are always the same length. UTC has leap seconds to account for the change in rotation of the Earth. TAI just doesn&#x27

Computers usually report time in UTC but don't actually have leap seconds. Most computers are pretty bad at keeping time, and regularly sync to NTP servers for the current time. NTP servers generally have better time keeping hardware (

Digital goods have proven to be viable goods that people will pay for, trade, and hold. Counter Strike Cosmetics, Fortnite Skins, and iTunes downloads are just a few examples of something that used to be a labeled as a gimmick, but are now

This kind of conformist, authoritarian culture will end in full blown fascism. Any deviation from the preset, socially accepted norm will result in cancellation. It’s already very apparent on social media. Sadly many people are tugged along

Without actually seeing the work, it's hard to give specific feedback. Design is an iterative process. Designers are never going to hand you a great looking product on the first time around. Also I find there is a sort of meta iteratio

I agree with your argument. The comment about blogs taking long to load leads me to believe most of these complaints are really only applicable to small scale projects. The massive stacks used for web development now are targeted at organiz

Unless you are in the Bay Area, NYC, or similar, the salaries aren't that much higher. You also have to weigh that against the lack of social services. Sure you can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but that can be easily w

Are they solving a question no one asked, or a question that already has an answer? If there is already a clear answer, then it's probably a waste of time. Your answer needs to be better, and that is rare. When your answer is better, t

No it probably won't end. No you are not a dinosaur, but development has changed. Decades ago you could build an app from the ground up. This gave you a bunch of different layers to compose, and probably made the app overall simpler. N

Is there any truly hard money other than precious metals? If the internet goes down or partitions, then what happens to all those coins?

Yeah I see that now. Having different parts be focusable versus clickable isn't a great choice imo.

Love the article. Small UX gripe: it took me a while to figure out how to use the gradient sliders. The box at the top looks like a handle, and I was trying to interact with that. But it looks like I have to click the bar to move the box, b

Honestly, I felt that the ethics board part was implied. In western universities it's very hard to do animal testing. No one just strolls down to Pets Mart and picks up some mice. The Animal Welfare Act governs animal testing in the Un

Orthopedic surgeons break bones all the time. It sounds cruel, but when done in a medical context, it's not so strange. It was a surgical procedure, it's not like someone dropped a rock on an awake pig.

From what I heard, the pig lived a relativity good life. It was well cared for by the large animal veterinary school on campus. Had more space and better food than any factory raised pig. All experiments passed an ethics review. The pig was

From what I remember most of the experiments where more material based like healing a bone, or replacing a joint, or some sort of implant. So you could have things interfere, but it wasn’t like drug trials which would effect the entire body

Pigs are really common in biomedical testing. They are physically a similar size and weight to humans. They also reach maturity in about 6 months. Much cheaper to raise than primates, and more likely to get approval for testing. My friends
