So the invisible 12h timer runs during cutscenes. During Excalibur 2 runs, I used to open and close the PS1 disc tray to skip (normally unskippable) cutscenes. Never knew why that worked. (I also never managed to get it)

At the time I went through a laborious effort for a Reddit post to examine which of those negative prompts actually had a noticeable effect. I generated 60 images for each word in those cargo cult copypastas and examined them manually. One

Boy, using e-commerce as an example is pretty funny. I don't know a single worse offender for document size and performance than e-commerce. I've worked on a site that was unwittingly loading >1Gb of images on categories.

I learned recently that you can provide accessible labels for content: https://www.stefanjudis.com/today-i-learned/css-content-acce... I haven’t yet cracked open a screen reader to see how it fares, though.

It worked perfectly on the two tests I tried: the GSA building in SoHo, and BKLYN Blend in Bedstuy.

I think progressive enhancement is a cool approach to building stuff. I also think “turn JS on” is a fairly reasonable ask these days. A lot of the web tends to break when CSS is disabled or fails, too.

As a type nerd, wowza; this is why I come to HN. I'd never even think to look for this. Thanks for the share. Love the over the top Amrit D.J. Band ones; they remind me of old school Barnum & Bailey signs.

Yeah, if you’ve got really hard opinions about what you like, it might be tough. It might also be a way to expand your palette though? I’m living with a Swiss girl and an Argentinian guy right now and am enjoying the new foods I’m introduce
