I'm not sure I agree with "good coverage of testing". As of today (27th Mar) there have been roughly 100,000 people tested out of 66,440,000. That's a mere 0.015% of the population tested. I think that's around 1 ou

Is your starter four days old from dry/dormant? Or did you liven up a wet one? The reason I ask is my starter was purchased online and arrived as a sachet of powder. And it took at least a week if not more for it to be ready. While the

I'm still in the cynic camp for a few reasons. 1. My flat is small. I can do a decent vac in about 15 minutes. 30 minutes if I do under the bed. 2. When I do the "big vac", I have to move 6 dining room chairs. Then shift the

No I haven't. But I have half a mind to place a sternly worded letter on their windscreen! But what do you say? "Um. You shouldn't do that." Why? Because it's bad for the tree? "Have some respect for nature?&qu

On my street the local council has recently cut down 5 trees and replaced them with 2 tiny saplings. One is doing well. And the other is currently being used by some guy to hang his electric car charging cable!? I despair for humanity some

I expected this article to be about the downsides of being forced to work from home (possibly due to recent events). But it's just a list of 4 SaaS tools that this company happens to use. And they just happen to be fully remote. I don&

I'm just curious but... did this actually fix anything other than the spec? The reason I ask is that I find myself (with Rails particularly) spending an awful lot of time on maintaining tests that were written by a much younger and muc

Speaking of terrible. Those little yellow boxes in the middle of the screen of 99% invisible are VERY distracting. Yes, it's easy to find the previous/next article. I appreciate the effort. But I'm trying to read! And my eyes

I experience the opposite reaction. I'm elated! Especially when a conditional can be removed/refactored. That's 1/2 as many tests. 1/2 as many possibilities for something to go wrong. As long as the functionality re

I visited the Wieliczka salt mine in Poland and it was incredible. It's full of sculptures and they have 2 chapels and a series of rooms to accommodate weddings. Well worth a trip if you're visiting Kraków as it's very nearby

1. Biomorphism attempts to emulate nature. But "new"-morphism is just a slight deviation from the existing trend that (some) people seem to like. In my view it looks more like 70's sci-fi (or lo-fi if you're a hipster) w

I've been to talks by Guardian devs (on more than one occasion) where they talk about the techniques they use to make the site as performant as it is. From critical path css to font fallbacks etc. Variants of this talk over the years:

I think what people are really gravitating to with "utility CSS" when they say they finally "get it" or it say "feels like REPL" is the fact that you can get instant feedback in the browser using the inspector.

IMHO, we already had way to do that. It looks like this <a href="..." I would argue that the code you provided did nothing but cause a generation of developers to look one way while trying to go another.

This sort of decision confounds me. Without being a fly on the wall at Strava HQ it's impossible to know why they would do such a thing (any press releases taken at face value). This change won't affect most serious users, but it
