The platform size / train length is a bit mind blowing. Coming in to Liverpool Street from the east - if you're at the back of the train you're in position to get off at Liverpool St. If you're at the front you're g

Surely one of the potential solutions has to be verifying accounts with a formal ID (even if you choose to keep the public facing part anonymous)? Then give users the ability to hide(/block? "You can't @ this person if you ar

I wonder whether puberty has an effect? I was bitten to death as a kid, as an adult it's far, far less frequent (to the point where a single bite is 'a thing'). But that might also be because kid me played outside in the park

Pretty good match, I'd say! To quote Ye: "Heard Yeezy was racist, well, I guess that's on one basis... I only like green faces."

I had to pay a driver in cash recently. It was the first time I'd used cash since before Covid, and it was crazy to realise that. I think (in the UK), raising the contactless pay limit, and then all the places that just moved to fully

I use Tailwind for some projects, BEM for others. For some projects we've built a rough outline using BEM (for quick everywhere changes) and then when we get to the final thing, used Tailwind. The 'update everywhere' was the

You really think so? I think discussion and moderation is consistently good. Perhaps the 'SF bay mainstream' is more just a reflection of the HN audience in general?

Yeah, we've found some of their (5T) competitors (who bill by connector) make far more sense for certain services. Love fivetran, though.

Blue is serious and business, red is danger or a warning, green is eco and earthy, yellow is fun, etc. Purple is the "we're a brand, but we're not stuffy and serious!" colour.
