I do web/mobile development for marketing agencies who don't have the budget/workload for a full-time developer. I'm typically handed a set of Adobe Illustrator files and it's my job to use those to build working we

In my anecdotal experience, it does not. Apple has made it easier to bring up the PIN prompt when it fails, though: https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/20/21265019/apple-ios-13-5-o...

Not me. I'm more concerned about my kids going back to school so that I don't need to be here all day and try and monitor their education on my own AND trying to focus on my job. The risk of me or my children DYING from COVID is p

Porn isn't new, obviously. But there's a big difference between finding a stack of your grandpa's Playboys 30 years ago and having a never-ending stream of high-resolution video. Worlds apart as far as the effects on the brai

I'm not making a moral argument. I'm making a "porn is bad for mental health" argument. Plenty of research out there: https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/research/

My opinion: Porn is the new drug. Our daughters are the dealers and our sons are the users. Sex addiction fueled by free internet porn has ruined countless lives. At least OnlyFans is behind a paywall, keeping it out of view of children.

I did this with a server-side TypeScript project I built last year. The biggest advantage I noticed (and it's mentioned in the article): validation (i.e. type-safety). Specifically, the project uses TypeORM and it was nice to be able t

The performance issues are what prevented me from using SMIL. A project I was working on called for an SVG animation that we also had to move on scroll (don't ask...). The animation was choppy and definitely got the fans spinning. Swap

WebMIDI goes beyond just "playing" a MIDI file as audio. It allows you to use MIDI as an input as well as understanding of the SysEx messages that can be used.

Even if they had a warranty they'd just send you a replacement item and throw your old one away. What's the difference besides the money for the new one is coming out of your pocket instead of theirs?

This topic (though not always this particular article) seems to come up on HN every 6-9 months, and the discussion is ALWAYS the same: "Yeah, you can, but you'll have to deal with X, Y, and Z. Probably not worth it for most people

For the past few years I've had a lot of tension in my forearm muscles in my dominant arm. Causes for me include mouse usage, guitar strumming, and lifting heavy. I've tried stretches like these, arm roller/massagers, self-ma
