These are all truths to heed. I can also recommend the book Cocktail Codex[1] for anyone interested in learning more about making cocktails, it's a very interesting take on the subject. [1]: https://www.amazon.com/dp&#x

All good suggestions. Also – the Martinez cocktail is another great initiation to gin, and my favorite of all cocktails. It's my goto benchmark drink as well, I've never been to a good bar that messed up my Martinez.

Hey, this looks kind of nice actually. But why hide the content behind an email sign-up, why not also provide an RSS feed, or at least the latest 1-3 send-outs? If you hadn't provided that link to the latest e-mail I would've brus

Great story, thanks for sharing! Whenever I see someone wearing a tattoo with characters like these I can't help but wonder if it's actually what the wearer believes it to be, or if it's just items off a take-out menu...

I never meant to imply they didn’t, but I never really used them because they weren’t very discoverable. With the Touch Bar I can tell just by looking at the “keys” what they do, whereas with fn-keys all I see is F1, F2, Fn... none of those

You’re right, and I wasn’t very clear with my comment which is unfortunate. I never meant to imply that any of those things were impossible with fn-keys, just that they weren’t very discoverable. The Touch Bar shows me what features are a

I initially found the touchbar to mostly be a gimmick, new for the sake of being new and not really bringing anything useful to the table. A couple of years later and I'm a convert. If I had to buy a new MBP today I would definitely ma

It doesn't: https://jsbin.com/quqibamivo/edit?html,css,output There's no way of doing this with css selectors alone, to my knowledge, you need to wrap the elements in some container.

One of my favorite RFCs for sure, and it's a beautifully simple and useful regex. It's a shame RFCs seem to have fallen out of fashion, the WHATWG URL spec is an unreadable mess of a monster, not least the parsing section: https:

And yet we have games that routinely do rendering, networking, state updates, and a bunch of other things in that same time frame. Even in JS, using HTML. Let's not automatically assume the runtime is at fault.

You could of course interpolate the pixels on either side of the seam, but I think most implementations of this technique just drop the seam pixels and leave the other ones untouched. You can think of seam carving more as an intelligent c
