You're right, it's not a great flow! And while many podcast/feed reader applications support pasting the URL of the page containing the <link /> element, that still leaves the problem of advertising that one can ev

One thing that I think this discussion is highlighting to me is that there's very little support in the web standard (as implemented by browsers) for surfacing resources to users that aren't displayable by the browser. Consider, f

You're right, but I think you're less likely to buy extra at per-unit pricing (since you can always buy just-in-time), so you're less likely to run into a situation where you overpurchased at per-unit pricing. (Edited to note

Buy in bulk if it's cheaper per unit that you buy , and per unit if it's cheaper per unit that you use . (EDIT: with the understanding that you're unlikely to buy much more than you use if just-in-time per-unit purchasing i

I think the layout as such (the grid of categories) isn't particularly dated, though a modern site would style them as tiles. The centered text can feel a little dated, but the biggest thing making it feel old is that it uses the defau

Not so much. While a lot of these websites use classic approaches (handcrafted HTML/CSS, server-side includes, etc.) and aesthetics, the actual versions of those technologies used are often rather modern. For example, TFA looks like a

Meat is typically exsanguinated as part of the slaughtering process[1], so no. The juices that come out of e.g. a steak are a mixture of water and proteins such as myoglobin, but can also include fat. Adam Ragusea has a video[2] on the topi

This is a well-known approach: verbalizing your thought process (either by speaking aloud, or by writing) is something that's long established as a good tactic for making sure that you're actually thinking through something, rathe

The Ancient Egyptians were also like us in that they were into architectural bling and greenery, so I'm not actually sure they'd be complaining that much. They were into materials like gold, electrum, and polished stone, but I&#x2

I'm assuming that you're referring to the fact that if you get the data as JSON from the server side, you can use it to render out your multiple visualisations. If this is not what you're getting at, my apologies. If you send

Do you have any specific beginner's routines you'd recommend? I was doing 5x5, which has pulls in the form of barbell rows and deadlifts; I don't know if that's sufficient.

I have a pair of TP-Link WDR-3600s. Both run OpenWRT "Barrier Breaker" and they've been rock-solid. One is on a filtered UPS (the main router), but the other one is just plugged into the wall and usually has a loaf of bread o

I got it because it seemed like it'd be an interesting experience, and it has been. It's still interesting, but not as much as it was, and I've been beginning to think about removing it; if it ever becomes a problem for any r

I have one. Ring finger of the left hand. It's mostly useful for rapidly-changing magnetic fields and strong static fields, so I can feel things like: - the transformer in my laptop charger - the electric motors in laptop fans and my h

I actually have one of those (ring finger of my left hand), and I have had zero problems with magstripe cards and hard drives. Also, USB keys aren't really sensitive to magnets.

Small children can also get HSV-1 from things like being kissed by an older relative with an active cold sore. That kind of thing probably happens less in developed countries due to higher awareness. [citation needed]

Presumably a dental dam would prevent transmission of HSV-1 during oral sex.

The problem isn't lazy-loading. The problem is webpage authors who don't specify the width and height attributes on <image> tags, which allows the browser to correctly flow them before they load.

PNG is one of my favourite file formats. It also has a chunking system which lets you store extra data, which isn't really covered here. Definitely worth looking into if you're interested in binary format design. The other image f

Maybe it's time for a standard bookmarking service API? It'd be nice to just be able to plug whatever service I want (if any) into any browser.

Yep. But it's a closed-source always-on cloud-connected microphone that lives in the middle of your house, which creeps the hell out of a lot of people (including myself and most of my housemates).

The problem there is that 90% of people have the lengths of notes in their head wrong . Sure, if you ask them to hum a song, they'll produce something that sounds rhythmically passable, but it's a far cry from being correct.

I think the README is just badly worded, since "not streamable" does differentiate it from RAR and ZIP, which makes it a differentiating factor.

It seems to be working a little differently now. (I was going to say "better" but that's debatable.) 1/2 is still in the number suffix, but now "Green Onion, Some City" is the place name, and it doesn't tr

Yes, absolutely. This is standard practice among my peers in creative writing; the last step of editing is to read your piece aloud (to the cat, or the dog, or to the mirror, or a human victim, or just to yourself), slowly and carefully. My

There's especially no good excuse for CC or phone numbers, because they're all numbers. All you have to do is strip out anything that isn't a "significant" character (i.e. a digit or a letter), throw an error if any

200 characters allows for the use of (short) passphrases. Longer would be better, though.
