I’m inclined to agree, frankly.

All I can say is when I had NextDNS configured on my router it blocked requests to some IKEA domain, possibly smetrics.ikea.com from a cursory search through he logs, and my Tradfri gateway would just straight stop responding to anything at

The IKEA Tradfri "smart" lighting gateway will stop responding to commands if it can't phone home to some IKEA server. I noticed this when I changed my router to use NextDNS, which blocked the IKEA lookups. I was ready to ret

I saw Supabase mentioned in another thread and signed up for the alpha. It's really cool stuff, kudos! We are currently writing an application where we already have auth set up using AWS Cognito. I haven't been able to find any do

I couldn't agree more! Also in my experience this applies to a lot of other places in Italy as well. Sardinia for example is an absolute marvel end of May, early June, before the summer rush starts kicking into gear.

Ditto. Walking in to the Pantheon, especially off season when there aren't as many tourists, is like traveling back in time. I can't help but think about all the things that may (or may not) have happened in that space, and my ima

You didn't read the linked article, did you? Byrd changed his ways and was even praised by the NAACP for his capacity to change: “Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation,” read a statement by NAACP president

Case in point – in '94 I was in fourth grade at a school that made a big deal of their computer department, and how they were hooked up to the web. When geocities launched ('95?) we were making homepages as school assignments. So

I've had some success with setting `display: contents` on grid children to avoid having to flatten everything. More detail here: https://css-tricks.com/get-ready-for-display-contents/ It's not a substitute fo

If they could make these work in a wireless atmos setup seamlessly with the apple tv I'd buy like 14 of them and place all around my living room. Syncing video and audio in real-time wirelessly is really difficult apparently, there&#x2

Flexbox has been useful, but for me has essentially been superseded by css grid, pretty much for the reasons you mention. I find flexbox to be difficult to use and feels more like a stopgap feature on the way to full blown grids than anythi

The Swedish chef doesn't really sound like he's from anywhere in Scandinavia to be honest, while perhaps somehow from all over Scandinavia. Kinda like a mix of all Scandinavian peoples. "Mange tack" sounds more like dani

Oops – my apologies! I would say the only time I've been surprised by media's portrayal of people in the US is when I've visited Florida – turns out Florida man isn't just a stereotype after all! Joking aside, I think I&

Americans typically assume I'm from somewhere in the Midwest but can't quite place where, and when I say I'm not American they assume I'm Canadian. It's usually a bit of back and forth before they believe that I&#x2

Yup – in fact I think the picnic case is exemplified in a Swedish Supreme Court ruling. It just goes to show that a lot of laws aren't so clear cut. ;o)

My English education as a Swedish kid mostly consisted of watching shows on Cartoon Network. People always think it's a joke when I offer Hanna-Barbera cartoons as the explanation for why I speak English with a North American accent. T

Sweden is the same, carrying almost any kind of knife in a public space is generally illegal. There are exceptions, such as construction workers who need to carry knives and other pointy things for work, but generally it's not allowed.

I've got two toilets in my apartment that have the mechanics hidden in a sort of half wall, that is maybe a meter or so high. It has a stone "lid" you can lift and reach all the piping and mechanics and what not from the top.

I had your point of view until I started working in corporate environments where windows reign supreme, and then I understood that the reason why no one wrote Makefiles or shell scripts is simply because no one had access to those runtime e

At night, sure. Many times I've met a car with a broken headlight, only realizing it's not a motorcycle as we're passing. I don't know if this happened at night, but visibility can be reduced for other reasons as well.

Right, I know what the c-key did but I can't recall ever learning why it was called a c-key. What does the C stand for?

I started using blender around the 1.6x mark I think, back in the 90s. It was the only 3D software I could afford (you could unlock features with a c-key back in those days, I still don't know what c-key means) that would also run on I

Your example reminds me of RethinkDB, which I haven't used in years but as I recall it was quite nice!
