If there was a risk of bias in some form of recording I could understand it, but the whole point of the audio recording is accuracy. What's confusing is the grounds for refusing - "they haven't done it before" seems a pr

You’d get more traction for this kind of comment if you’d taken the time to check rather than cast vague aspersions. And if you have checked, detail it here.

I think existential crises often come because people have too much time to think. That's certainly the case with me. Perhaps you just don't have enough time to overthink things now! Kids, if you let them, also keep you in the mome

I agree that kids absolutely do not help with existential angst, and in some ways make it worse. But, and this is a nuanced point that I hope comes across as something to ponder rather than advice, I've found having kids and therapy at

Thanks for that. We take care to build with aria attributes, but the search for the menu icon is something I hadn't considered. Is top right / left corner not enough of a convention for a menu hamburger that it's difficult to

It's an interesting distinction for sure. Perhaps "Activate menu" and "Deactivate menu" would work too, particularly as there's no reference to visual things - what would "expanding" on the screen mea

That depends very much on your demographic. Over 60s? Over 70s? From personal expereince helping older people with devices I doubt that it's familiar to quite a few people around that kind of threshold.

Is this improved with the use of attributes like aria-controls and aria-expanded, or is there a deeper issue?

I keep trying Siri every now and then, and about the only things work reliably for me are (a) asking through my airpods for it to phone someone, (b) setting a timer and (c) asking what the piece of music I'm hearing is. But the answer

I worked on bbc.co.uk back in the early days (late 90s), and the homepage of each site had to be under 70k, including images, or the operations people wouldn't make it live. I think we can afford a bit more now, but I miss that discipl

"...when the overall dangers to the individual and society are considered" is the context for that, which you've removed. The article goes on to talk about why David Nutt thinks that, and given that he's spent his life r

At art college, one of my tutors talked about people making "things that look like art". There's a good deal of subjectivity in art, but I knew exactly what they meant - things that have been produced by taking the outward ap

My local bookstore can generally match Amazon in terms of delivery times, including next-day, although I have to go and collect it (but they're local, so they're easy to get to). They know me now too, so I just drop them an email
