This is cool, thanks for this! I have added @media (min-width: 768px) { body { padding: 0 40px; } } because it felt crowded on a desktop screen. I do feel like removing the :visited color differenc

Eh I mean, there's been a rise of extremism all across Europe. It's not quite accurate to say it's an exclusively American thing. Hate speech is rising and there's a case to be made that it's because extremists find

The button text should get bigger if you increase the font size (obviously) but it doesn't always make sense to also scale the button's padding or shadow effect with the text, for example. As the text gets larger, most designs hav

There's going to be a lot more scrutiny of crypto startups, so if yours is in that space you can look forward to a lot of urgent meetings. Otherwise, raises are going to be more difficult in the future so it seems like everybody is try

"Never explain yourself unless explicitly asked to." Hm, I wonder what context you use this in? My experience has been different, that succinctly telling people about your motivations and thoughts, and truly being vulnerable, is a

These things happen. As I have gotten older, one of the most important things I have learned is that productivity is not a straight line. It's waves for me. Sometimes I'll be very interested and do great work, other days.. I shoul

That process would be biased to those with experience and enough rank to be able to make decisions. It would miss those who are capable but who haven't gotten the chance. There are many, many people who haven't gotten the chance a

Egress and runtime restrictions made that difficult at scale, just didn't have extra time.

Yeah I had to implement this once because we ran a handful of ads on TikTok, so they wanted access to all of our traffic. I protested, saying they didn't need all traffic to do analytics for people who click through.. just tell me how

I remember when my old company cut the "swag" to the tune of about $100,000 a year. The CFO was proud of himself but the work environment wasn't great before that, which lead to a few key people leaving. They had stayed not f

This is good advice. You don't need to attract every woman. Instead, be best person you can be in order to find one that loves your head as it is. There are women who prefer a bald head but not many who will find insecurity attractive.

I enjoyed reading them until I tried to get to the source of the 1980 data. The source appears to be from the National Center for Health Statistics, which ran surveys in 1971–1974, 1976–1980, 1988–1994, and 1999–2018. I was disappointed tha

Many of the electronic services charge fees which paper checks don't. There's a reason people do this, it's not "love" or lack of knowledge or legacy. It's a big incentive on large transfers (like rent) to avoi

And yet Windows was successful even when unstable. I would say that's not a hugely motivating factor for people. Many people turn on and off their computer when they want to use it and it's fine. Excessive stability isn't a m

True, cost is also a motivating factor that is much more powerful than fragmentation concerns. This is probably why Windows is now essentially free or at least a hidden cost for the end user.

Exactly. It's like saying if only Firefox had gotten rid of extensions so the UX was unified they could have taken over IE.

Nonsense. There are billions of Android devices sold and customers don't seem too bothered by its fragmentation. They continue to buy Android devices en mass. So it seems fragmentation has many problems but that alone won't preven

And yet they wonder why they've failed to surpass AWS and have fallen to #3 in the cloud space. This whole thing and the stories from others have made me so nervous that I'm moving my personal stuff off of Google, too. Future tech

Something's wrong at Google. I was trying to setup my new startup with a project on GCP and had a very similar problem. I was told to go to a page, upload my ID and wait. Four weeks went by without an answer. Finally, I opened a custom

I worked at a Bank before at this was the hiring plan. Simply fill the seats and expect a strong(er) manager to guide the output. Hiring the best simply wasn't an option in most cases, but one good hire was expected to closely monitor

It depends who you want to work for. C# and Windows tend to be more popular with a certain type of company, often one more established. The node/react world tends to be more popular with younger companies and startups. You'll

I'm sorry to hear that. I feel for you because I hear echos of burn out that I have struggled with in what you wrote. The good news is that recovery is possible. After burning out hard many years ago, I took a long break but found that

There's no limit on copying from PS, but it wouldn't make sense to trash the current user base to try to acquire those used to PS. Then it would be the Gimp users who feel upset.

This is good advice! I like to ask something like "how's your day going?" as a greeting. If you get more than a "good, you?", then this person wants to talk. You've made a friend for the evening.

There’s a time for independence and there’s a time to take a look at the evidence and realize that we are stronger together. This ends when we all act together. But people like you are why we will struggle to ever fully get rid of the virus

Try joining the Marines. I remember walking in a line with sleeves rolled up while they shoot you with everything they've got, all at once, then you drop trousers and get some more. You know nothing about me.

I'm not arguing against consent, of course. The data is out there but you are misinterpreting it. I just think you're taking issue with silly things, overblowing the risks and trying to make other people scared. That's seriou
