Wow, the simplicity of this is blowing my mind. I don't think I have ever even considered using `white-space: pre` with generated content. Really fun, really cool!

I’m always amused when the frameworks being used advertise things like “We make coding fun!” I tend to think “but what about making the web enjoyable for the end user?”

Half Korean. I thought I figured out some amazing snack when I started eating ramen straight out of the pack. My brother and I would mix it with microwave popcorn (two unhealthy snacks cancel each other out, right?) So it came as a shock wh

You forgot to factor in UberEats, Disney trips, and other one off expenses that end up easily being $75+ a pop. Expenses that some people would budget for a week or two (or longer), people are easily spending on a single event. That hefty $

I think the "crazy idea" also stems from the PRC regulating price increases. From a consumer viewpoint, it makes sense to regulate prices, but - again - from a consumer viewpoint, I'll agree that the USPS delivers a service f

I decided to do the same after I received a counterfeit (or altered) item from Amazon for a skincare product. I had grown suspicious of Amazon reviews and their practice of co-mingling items, but it suddenly occurred to me that buying somet

After moving to California in 2011, I decided I missed the office banter and started looking for a job. I found a listing on a large, tech-based recruiting firm (cybercoders) and the job was perfect for my skills. I applied but heard nothin

OMG! You were not joking about the "felt" like appearance of the dust! My MBP seems to always have the fans on. I do occasionally run compressed air across the vents (from the outside) but decided to open it up thanks to this thre

Oddly enough, my brain associated "Kid" and "9 Years" from the title and I assumed a young child built a detailed Boeing paper plane. A "9 year old kid" makes perfect sense to me. I was slightly confused when t

You are correct. From their study, they show that while Facebook dropped, Instagram increased (34, 36, and 39% from 2017 - 2019, respectively). WhatsApp doesn't have tracking data for 2017/18, but 2019 shows it at 18%. Here's

About a year ago, I was driving in the far right lane going 80MPH at 2AM in the morning. Wife and baby child were sleeping in the car. In my rear view, I see a car flying up. He was in an express lane. No clue why, but as he catches up, he

I'm a bit older and also remember this as well. I would watch in real time when my friends would type something out, or call out their mistakes in typing. I believe you're right about it being ICQ.

I'd love some "retro" devices. An iPhone that's Slightly fatter (fill the space with a larger battery), headphone jack, and a "smaller" screen. Of course, have all of the latest hardware (camera, soc, etc.). Or

In Mobile Safari, it's even worse as the bottom navigation bar is present when the page loads and then stays present. Since AMP uses an overflow technique to handle content/scrolling, the page never triggers a scroll event on the

Funny, as a buyer, I'm finding the same to be true of Amazon. There was a time where I would just trust Amazon to have the lowest prices and to have legitimate reviews. That time is long gone. Anything higher than 4 stars is now taken
