Counterpoint: The town I grew up in just turned 400 years old. Things haven’t always been perfect but it seems pretty self-sustaining at this point.

You say not true but the article says not enough data: "The study finds no evidence of Omicron having lower severity than Delta, judged by either the proportion of people testing positive who report symptoms, or by the proportion of ca

I used to be a big LastPass proponent myself, but I only ever used their free tier. After the LogMeIn acquisition there was something people were frustrated about, I don’t remember what though, and I started being less satisfied with their

I can’t say I’m familiar with those myself! Sounds cool though.

I really enjoyed this read. I deeply enjoyed the tone of this article, and the insight inside is tremendous. Although the companies mentioned are no longer around in the same sense, this piece touches upon some universal threads that are as

Parking in the UK was a nightmare for me. I don’t remember the specifics, but either a 1 or an I is a valid character for a license plate, and the other isn’t valid. The app used standard iPhone fonts such that the one that will never exist

I’ve always felt that the word “rescue” when applied to dogs (it’s almost always applied to dogs as pets vs other animals) comes across as self-serving. I used to think it meant the owner was busting down doors with animal rescue police to

Interesting comparison with cars, I would think a Hyundai is much more reliable and less expensive to maintain than a Mercedes, and Hyundai is now being positioned as a more premium brand than it once was. On topic, GitLab is great at CI&#x

I think it’s wildly interesting how different generations appear to have totally different relationships with social media

by mr_cyborg 5y ago
What generation do you fall into? I’ve noticed some groups of people are better than others. Most of my baby boomer relatives are really bad about social media, sharing tons of political things (often nasty and offputting) and seem to liken

I would say this is largely true for myself and my peers, but to older relatives Facebook is conflated with real life and actually keeping in touch.

I’m not really following the part with the mold - can you not pull the fridge out and give it a deep cleaning, or worst case hire someone who specializes in that to do so?

I’m a big fan of how GitLab approaches things. Their design library is a tremendous resource: https://design.gitlab.com/

This is incredible. Great work! I recently looked at making a really simple RTS using something like Unity and I was surprised how little love that genre gets from a lot of engines.

This is awesome. What did you use to handle the location search?

As an aside, I grew up with “chicken fingers” everywhere, on restaurant menus, etc. but now I can’t think of the last time I didn’t see them called “chicken tenders” outside of one regional fast food chain where I am now. I live in a differ

This is good to note. I remember I was trying to hit return to rename it and that would just open it. I was probably tired because I felt so flabbergasted! It looks like you can rename from right click too. Not sure how I missed that

Thanks for this reply - for me it was “website.app” so this wouldn’t have applied

I own a .app domain and in naming a folder on my Mac that I lost the ability to open the folder in Finder. Cracked me up and outside of the terminal I could find no solution.

I wanted to add that a lot of the people I know who are “vaccine hesitant” are just waiting a little longer to see how things go. I don’t see a whole lot of representation of folks who intend to get the vaccine this summer when I read publi

Serifs can be a good thing for readability! I don’t know that the creator’s choice to force sans-serif was ideal here.

I think this is more of a state culture thing than anything else. Regardless, political parties tend to be pretty different from state to state and vs the federal overarching party.

For a point of comparison, in the state I live in in the US, you’re looking at 2-4 hours to a lot of vacation destinations. Many of which don’t have fast chargers along the way. In a normal pre-Covid year, I’ve driven upwards of 8-15 hours

This is exactly how Docker works too - they recently rate limited anonymous accounts, and by signing up for the free plan you agree to very similar terms and conditions in return for a higher pull rate limit. Source: https://www.

The Gervais Principle is a great read for fans of The Office and/or people who work at large companies. Nice to see it get a shout out. https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-...

Thank you for your response. I feel like homeowners may become more resistant to city services and improvements in their area if it will impact their bottom line disproportionately. I guess it would come down to the value formulation.

Thanks for this response. Disclaimer: I live in a city that is growing constantly and has many growing pains that are being worked through. To me, it almost sounds like this type of tax puts more power in the hands of big developers, which
