They lost me on the headline! Then I went down a rabbit-hole trying to grok the phrase "opportunity cost" - still none the wiser. Then had to bail after a short while. Economics has never been my strong point. (see my bank account

Javascript? I could write that in 9 days, Jim.

Your comment tempts me to clone this idea and apply it to the now outdated "Web 2.0" aesthetic. * choose the correct drop-shadow for headline text * is inner bevel or outer bevel more "corporate" looking? * 20px rounded

Correct me if I'm wrong, but investing $6600 for a $20/month return is going to take 25 years to break even. How is that worth it? (I'm totally naive about investing. This isn't a dig at you. Genuinely curious)

Also, 2nd mortgages aren't normally readily available. Particularly with such a small down payment. But maybe it's different for people making $200,000/year?

Have you seen how many Javascript dev there are out there? I wish I was kidding, but I don't remember the last time a CV crossed my desk that didn't have JS as a core ability or at least mentioned in passing. And that's for n

But if there is never good intention to actually "finish" the construction, then it wouldn't matter much.

Ahhh. I miss the days of the username and password being on the same page! I refuse to believe that the average internet user gets confused by a two field form that they need to break it into two (usually slow) steps. Re-architected in (u

I learned something. But would have been better (easier) if the snippets of code only included the css in question and not fonts/backgrounds etc. I had to read each a few times to find the relevant bits.

It's common to shape the sole of performance cycling shoes, but not by way of scanning. I had a pair done a while back which where made by me stepping on a heated rubbery platform that slowly took the shape of my feet. The thing I stoo

I was recently required to add some JS to our product links from the search results pages. It’s a click-jacking script that sends tracking data to Google Analytics. There is a callback that fires when GA is happy that it got the goods. When

That's a bit of a crude reduction, in my opinion. If we are debating semantics, then I would argue that I'm a part-time surgeon because I removed a splinter. I would do more surgery if it wasn't for all the civil engineering

D cities +36.2% R cities +35.6% How in any way is this relevant? To anything? It's seeing this sort of spiked dialogue that just reinforces my belief that the US is on a downward spiral of naval-gazing self-destruction. One would hope

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out just what "benefit" is had by this type of scroll-jacking but to no avail. It does seem to help in any way and all it does is frustrate the user. Luckily the spacebar behaviour

In a word, yes. This is how society polices itself. Just like dogs. When a dog does something that isn't beneficial for the group, it gets a nip. The entire pack sees and learns from this. And the entire pack also helps in enforcing th

In theory, yes. In practice it would require me buying 9 trees and waiting for 3-5 years to see the results - and i'm getting old ;) But I do like a good experiment! And my neighbours garden is quite bare. Now you got me thinking...

I listen to both Bach and Glass somewhat regularly. ie. they pop up in my Spotify "made for you" list form time to time. The clear difference to me is that compositions by Glass never stop me in my tracks, make me think, make me f

I'm curious what HN thinks about the current trend of root washing when planting trees. From what I've read the science is still out and people tend to be split 50/50. The root washers say that by removing all media that the

If someone bragged about spending 50 grand on the idea that they own something that doesn't exist if the lights go out, I would use that as signal that said person would be a good mark for a scam. Highly gullible, a bit dim and has mon

Naively I would think that there must be a service out there that auto-generates transcriptions from podcasts. Youtube already do this for (some) videos. The output isn't perfect, but it gets about 99% of the words correct. So my sug

This is my biggest pet peeve about delivery service websites. What are the chances that I've moved house since I last ordered a pizza two days ago? Why do you incessantly ask for my postcode? When I log in, assume I'm the same per

I seem to have noticed something about these Tailwind love/hate discussions. And it all boils down to this: Old-school devs seem to like TW for the benefits it gives over other CSS paradigms (Smacss, BEM etc.) It speeds up development
