   Beautiful! I tried it with a particularly nasty regex from a codebase I had and it did a fantastic job explaining what it would target. It's similar to regex101.com in a lot of ways, but the UI might be a little more easy to read and u

   I always makes sense to roll your own X when you're a leader in the field and X doesn't exist yet until you (or somebody else) makes it and releases it. I've had a lot of situations like that and been accused of NIH syndrome,

   There isn't really such thing as free healthcare as long as staff need education and training, doctors have to be paid, hospitals need to be administrated, and treatments have material costs, etc. If it's being paid for by the tax

   I think the temporary single-food diet is to break you of the addiction of sugar and other foods, and then once you've habituated your body to an extremely limited diet, you can safely re-introduce some variety again. In his case it wa

   What I'll call 'table layout' can be done via CSS on any tags, you don't need to use `<table>` elements to make use of the 'table layout' you like. Lately CSS has added two new 'layout' modes yo

    This should suffice, no need to make a variable, this can all be done at once: document.head.appendChild(document.createElement('style')).textContent = '* { outline: 2px dotted orangered'

    The purpose of an A/B test isn't to always show the best performing result, it's to perform a _controlled scientific experiment_ with a control group, from which you can learn things. Also, I work in this field and I will jus

    I say yes, it is viable, and I'll explain! Different clients will value your skills differently. If you can fix a website and that creates 10% more sales revenue, somebody making $2,000 can only afford to compensate you $200 or else th

    You can use JavaScript to extend CSS, to make it a higher-level language and _more_ declarative. CSS has live-updating variables in it which can be set and re-set from CSS, from HTML, and also in realtime from JavaScript. This means we can

    This should be a solemn reminder about proprietary (especially binary) file formats. They serve a purpose but are an awful way to archive things of value. I truly hope that we have learned our lesson from Flash and choose formats like SVG (
