Unfortunately it doesn't seem to support Instagram stories, which is the type of media I find myself wanting to save the most. OP: in case you weren't aware, websites that do this have been facing legal challenges recently, with s

I don't find reads to be very fast either. I have a lot of photos on my network drive, and opening or previewing them feels like I'm on dial-up or worse. On Windows, scrolling the folder in thumbnail mode renders them pretty smoot

At the risk of only being tangentially on topic, I want to recount a story about how sleazy financial institutions will be with their fees if given the opportunity. This happened to me with Fifth Third Bank; I knew it was sketchy as hell an

Would you be down to chat a little about your Blueprint experience and take a look at a tool I've been working on? Check my homepage (on my profile) for contact info if so, I'd be very thankful :)

Hey, I've been working on something I think is pretty cool to address some of the shortcomings mentioned here. If you're up for chatting about your experience and offering some feedback, mind hitting my profile and shooting me an

In a similar vein, I swear only about 30% of Apple Pay buttons I encounter on the web actually work. The rest produce a little popup with spinner briefly and then disappear. It's incredibly frustrating.

If you like this kind of question, I highly recommend the Wind of Change podcast, about whether The Scorpions song of the same name was written by the CIA. Super entertaining! https://crooked.com/podcast-series/wind-of-

The "move fast" part was definitely sincere, to Microsoft's credit!

I was just saying it's kind of ironic that pre-acquisition GitHub inspired confidence, and Microsoft-owned GitHub has been more "move fast and break things." I also don't just mean outages like this... it's clear th

I can't provide the reason, but I can add a story that might shed light on the answer. Years ago I was hosting a movie night and we were watching a dark, stylish black & white film that required subtitles. This was either in iTunes

OK here's a dumb one. You know how the label on EVERY toilet bowl cleaner bottle always says "Step 1: flush toilet"? I always dutifully followed those instructions, thinking "hmm, the extra splashing water must be pretty

The latter would probably work, but the first is invalid HTML – you can't nest interactive elements. Will browsers allow it? Yes. But it's still invalid per the spec.

Hey, a topic I know something about! I've done something similar to this: "tightening" text to resist wrapping but not prevent it. I'll describe: A subtle feature of OS X since its early days (but possibly not anymore) i

I suspect you are confused about what Remix is, unless I vastly misunderstand htmx. By example, a request comes into my app's web server at `/posts/123`: how would htmx be involved at all in (1) understanding the request, and

Yes, there’s only one active (non-bot) server but we play every night! “Discord PUB” is the server and it’s usually LakRabbit from around 4–6pm Pacific, then CTF for the rest of the night once enough people join up.

In case the T2 fans here weren’t aware, it’s a free download now and people still play. There’s a Discord community and we do pickup games every month or so. You can get it here: https://www.playt2.com/

What's the latest science on microwaving plastic containers? Many now say "microwave safe" on them... did something change, like the research or the plastics used? Many of my friends still refuse to do it, but I'm not su

Mine says March 27, 2017 and it does everything I've ever asked it to? Maybe you have different standards for what qualifies as ancient and crippled.

Surely not every road or destination is going to have bike lanes, so isn't everyone going to have to mix with traffic eventually anyway? Having them in some places but not others is just confusing for everyone involved.

Even as a cyclist, when I hear of new bike lane construction, my feelings on the matter are "meh" or even negative. I think we should instead just normalize cycling among the cars (mostly by educating drivers, who either get pisse

I wouldn't say the data is better, just different. Instead of "how do I extract the info I want?" your problem becomes too much data to sift through. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2

The normal arrow (not the hand) is supposed to be the correct cursor for buttons, but many people change it to the hand because they think it indicates interactivity. However, the div button is still wrong because it shows the text selectio

by exogen 5y ago
Sorry, my description of that one was a bit vague. The error I had in mind wasn't using `position: absolute` to anchor the button, but rather in not thinking about the offset parent. As an example, if your goal is for the button to app

I appreciate the semantics angle but I don't think it's actually related; semantics are a separate issue. The reason the animation appears to work in the example you link to doesn't actually have anything to do with the form

by exogen 5y ago
I'm well aware of details (I use it in GitHub READMEs frequently), but you still can't animate it like I described – without that, no designer is ever going to want you to actually use it. Builtin elements are worth fuck all if th
