Interesting points here, especially about `<style scoped>` being removed from browsers after Google requested it. That would be really handy to use. https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/552

Reminds me of what happened with Cloud9 and VS Code. First, Cloud9 was awesome for allowing devs to code remotely. Then once VS Code became the best editor out there, they added remote host support (among other things) and now Cloud9 caters

Very nicely put together documentary. I do wonder if it would fit more nicely into 15 minutes but YouTube incentivizes for longer videos.

Love this idea. It would be interesting to see what different ways (AI) you could predict that a site is distracting based on personal and wide-spread usage habits. Some advanced method that doesn't require a user generated whitelist w

Ya I'm currently ready Beautiful Boy. The movie was amazing. The book is pretty different in my opinion but also very good. Anyway, it's all about the toll that drugs, and specifically meth, takes on their family's lives. Rea

Interesting that Mozilla is not on the list. They are one of the few companies I'd genuinely trust with smart home data.

Really interesting. I'm on Android so I'll have to look into how to get similar functionality.

Glad to see that most people agree with you. I've had a recent experience where I assumed this would be the case but it turns out I was underestimating how much attention my manager was paying to my speed, even just a couple months aft

I worked on the relaunch of Cloud9 --> AWS Cloud9 and there was an extensive naming process shortly before the launch of the service, both for AWS Cloud9 and for the term "environments" (which was previously workspaces). I can

It's just a matter of personal preference. Videos are good for some and text for others. It's good to have choice and understandably frustrating when your preferred choice isn't there.

I enjoyed my time working at Amazon but this method of gathering "feedback" on a recent product launch was one of the most popular and I wasn't a huge fan. I know there was more to it than this but anytime there was a meeting

Fully agreed. Weird that they dropped it then picked it back up again, though I'm guessing it's because it was dropped pre-MS and picked up as a part of MS. It'd be interesting to see an old link announcing it being dropped a

Ya, I am guessing this is something they likely won't pursue to its fullest extent but indeed something annoying. Say for instance, the company is eventually taken over by a bad actor that now wants to put my face on some endorsement f
