Anecdotally, when I read the first two lines of your comment I immediately thought "that probably means you can click elsewhere to close it"

Modern toasters are generally way less reliable than older toasters. I think it is very difficult to buy a new toaster today that you can be confident will have a 50-year lifespan.

In UX terms, the page above the fold doesn't afford scrolling. With a blank white background and nothing to help the eyes explore, it can take a bit to notice the scrollbar, especially if one's browser/OS doesn't have an

Yeah after reading that paragraph I took a look at his other articles, he seems to be some genre of alt right. Not really someone I want to promote.

I am strongly opposed to feature flags and conditionals in the code, unless absolutely necessary. If you don't remove deprecated features/branches, your code will end up unmaintainable. If you do remove them, the removal is (in my

I'm not sure this really says anything novel. As a longtime user of Duolingo, I feel like my experience of the app is "move fast and break things" -- constantly adding new features and removing old ones, without regard for ho

Works well because almost all interaction is low-bandwidth low-latency duplex text streams. You can make a lot of assumptions based on that.

A general direction you could go is to use blocks greater than 2. For example, you flip the coin exactly 64 times, and discard the result unless there is exactly 1 tails and 63 heads. This happens about 22% of the time, so it's on aver

Solid/particulate pollution from tires is definitely a problem, but in terms of carbon specifically isn't it many orders of magnitude less than the carbon from gas engines or electric power plants?

People have to vote for one party or the other. Voting for a party doesn't mean they want every single thing promised by that candidate, it just means they think the sum of all things from that candidate is better than the sum of all t

I think the point of the accelerated depreciation is roughly equivalent to taking a loan with 0% interest. It's allegedly zero-sum with respect to net income . They get to claim this income later, with various benefits, e.g. more cash

Yeah, I feel like this should have been implemented solely as a single-in/single-out stream modifier. Then if you want to output to both a file and stdout, you can `command | emojify | tee`, or `command | tee | emojify` if you want to
