Raising the age minimum on digital services from 13 to 16 or 17 would probably fix a lot of the ills caused by it. And/or teach media literacy from a young age. And anyone here who reduces teenage digital addictions to “bad parenting”

I have a design background and have written a lot of CSS, and I have opinions so just interpret this all as a personal preference if you want. * It's basic floor/ceiling stuff. Once you go #000000, you can't go any darker. Ar

If you're at the point of "should I use dithering" to optimize your website, congratulations: you're in the 99th percentile of optimized websites. You're already a SSG PWA with modular js and a stylesheet devoid of

How does this get commercialized? I can't think of anything that's inherently cheap and easy to produce that you use for a few weeks and then never again that is also a financial cash cow the way most pharmaceuticals are. Disclaim

I was prescribed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Prozac. The CBT did far more for me. I dumped the Prozac after a few months. I have bad days and good days, but I know how to get through the bad ones now. I know what prompts them and

Yeah… in 2021 it really hurts your credibility to not have a mobile-friendly site. Most of my HN browsing happens on a phone… if something is really eye-catching or I feel like I need a bigger screen, I’ll save it to a reading list or airdr

You’re right. I think there’s a surprisingly large number of white collar workers who accept that their work is the whims of the next person up the org chart. A sure fire way to create an organization full of lost souls and suck-ups.

It’s an oversimplification for effect. Yes, there’s bad fried chicken and good fried chicken. But when you’re hungry cruising down the commercial strip, there may be two national brands you need to quickly choose from. One of those brands c

Just do this at your current job, especially if they have an “unlimited time off” policy, start putting in those fridays. Don’t make a big deal about it, don’t abruptly leave at 2 (every day)… spend the latter couple hours reading, working
