My pragmatic way is to make one design/markup for small screens and one for big screens, and toggle the visibility of those two with media queries. Often we want a completely different layout for mobile, and to focus on different data.

Google is serving a broken page for Firefox on Android (intentionally serving something along oldschool wap pages). I used an addon to fix that, but then the page suddenly was full of ads, videos, smart boxes and amp links.

In Europe they solve it with laws. PSD2 forces banks to become open, and allow others to make services on top.

A lot of professionals not in those categories will probably also be interested in it. I think it's disingenuous to pretend it doesn't matter as only people buying $50k monitors are interested. I could see a lot of designers buyin

But then it's responsive to the page size, not the container size. That's a small, but important difference. For instance, I recently made a component to be included on other pages at work. It had to look good no matter the size t

Yeah, the problem is just that when it's space, the zoom by in a high speed. Taking the lane and then yielding will force them to overtake at a reasonable speed, at least.

I like the concept. I use Strava a lot for cycling, but it's not very good for non-cardio activities. Lots of people I follow also track their strength workouts on Strava, but I haven't done it myself as I find it hard to track pr

Unlimited PTO is more an American thing in my experience. And is never really unlimited as you will be judged when using it. In Europe it's common with 5+ weeks of vacation, which is also often mandatory by law to take.

It's a common theme here on HN when it comes to worker's rights and unions. Being a one-percenter where companies bend over backwards to cater to you, it's easy to dismiss these things.

But now you did the mistake of assuming a lot of stuff, with very little data. Why can you say that person 2 is better at working in a group? Maybe person 1 was just very nervous, or is a type that takes a few days to warm up to new people.

Are the downloads the old, compiled code? The iexplore.exe in IE 1.5 says modified in 1996. And it runs on my Windows in 2019. That's a feat! (Can't find any pages to open, though, guess it's too old http and possible tls stu

I only work in GCed languages, so I don't know how manual memory management works, except segfaults in some courses at university. Guess I should quit my job, as you say I apparently can't really code :/ Thanks for letting me

Cool project, similar in spirit as to something I did a few years back as well ( https://github.com/Matsemann/oculus-fpv ). It's pretty trippy watching real stuff live, but your "head" is somewhere else.

Ah, reminds me of something I had to do only two years ago. Business side would send an excel file with thousands of lines and some columns with some definitions. These we would export to csv and turn into a huge enum using some generator.

There are often abridged versions of audiobooks, where they skip stuff like that and shorten the book considerably. Maybe worth a try.

I got it as an option when I tried to cancel. Went forward with the cancellation anyway, as I found it deceptive. Esepcially the part that canceling would lose all my credits. Didn't know what to spend them on either, so just bought ra

My apps only update when I connect the charger during the evening. At least I have been under that impression. (Except for Facebook that updates itself outside the play store and then brags about it with an annoying notification..) Is it so
