On the contrary, to me it would be a net positive if a restaurant was going to advertise their sources. I for one am highly skeptical of the perverse incentive between restaurantees and restauranteurs—restauranteurs being incentivized to bu

I don't know about this. For example in many countries around the world cigarettes are now put in unattractive packages but not banned outright. To get very meta, the argument that regulation is a slippery slope, is itself a slippery s

Just......no. Do these people know how exhausting it is to even pogostick across a single block? I can hardly do it, and I'm in very good shape. There might be some niche in leaving them in parks and public places as entertainment piec

Location: Seattle. Remote: Yes. Willing to relocate: In most cases no. Technologies: JS, MVC, Sql/NoSql, DevOps. Resume: I just built www.blendful.com which is essentially like Illustrator online. I'm very design oriented also bui

Oh wow, you really have to hope these are not the canonical links. If so, they are doing themselves an incredible disservice and the fact that no one has brought it to management's attention speaks gravely to the workplace culture ther

Yeah, I agree. Strong declarations about what the future will look like usually are laughably incorrect in retrospect; but, well, without some major paradigm shifts in how browsers work, I don't really see React/Vue going anywhere

Yeah; I think it just speaks to the fact that there is no substitution to being a well-informed individual. If you're cognizant about understanding the world around you, you're generally pretty good at weeding bad information out

Yeah, I don't know, I feel like the constant framework churn has sort of died down and javascript is no longer changing the way it was a few years ago. It essentially moved from being a scripting language a decade ago to the 'full

So cool. I looked at a few projects and was turned off by how much code was needed to render each result. However, when I looked closer I realized that most of the code was simply to define the shapes in the illustration, which, is nice, be

I think it's pretty much what we'd expect when markets are allowed to operate unhinged; it doesn't necessarily speak to a point in time in an economy's development—it moreso speaks to the fact that less developed economi

Want to let you know that I find this useful. I wish Illustrator had this kind of functionality and have been looking for something like this for a long time. I wish you luck with this project.

FWIW I think current science states that readability is improved with white text on a dark background vs the inverse. > There's no reason to allow companies to push their ridiculous branding styles down our throats. Understandable,

Good to hear, and can't wait. It had been so long that I thought that they decided that they wouldn't bother.

Disheartening to see Safari lagging so terribly behind; there are some standardized web APIs that are a decade old that Safari still hasn't implemented. Because of this my new shiny web app [0] doesn't support Safari at all (!!!)

Sorry! Try nikk @ getfractals dot com. Changed my bio recently and forgot. That's pretty insane that you had that surgery; I heard that's one of the most intense treatments they have. Was it specifically for the sleep apnea? I am

Hey, You should buy one like this: https://www.amazon.com/Tranquility-Pro-Adjustable-Mouthpiece... I am sure you can find some in this style for even cheaper, maybe around $20. I had sleep apnea for the last 18 months, whic

Yeah, ideally, the perfect arbiter would be able to make objective decisions as to whether or not a certain individual/group violates the TOS of the platform and acts accordingly. But whether or not someone (or something, in the case o

Wow. I've heard of people needing as little as four hours but never something this extreme. So, what do you spend your time doing while the rest of us are dozing off? Are all your biological markers in line with that of someone who is

I definitely understand your perspective and such mirrored mine for a long time. I will also be the first to concede that if the first amendment doesn't protect this kind of speech, then really, what does it protect? With that said, we

One question I have is why these objects are only detected via sight and radar. Don't we have so many telescopes pointing at the sky that if something were to be approaching our planet, someone would notice before they entered our airs

Ha! Same. I am definitely atheist or agnostic if we're being particularly pedantic, but I still go to church with my friends, engage in the rituals, etc. Just because it isn't of spiritual meaning to me doesn't mean it's

Ha, I don't understand it either, and I used to subscribe to your philosophy (increasing education == decreasing religious affiliation). But the effect to which this is true is somewhat confuddled. For example many educated people on t

How common is it for divers to start panicking underwater? It surprises me that that's even a thing. Like, if the thought of skydiving scares you, you're probably not going to try it; so I would guess the danger of the practice it

I am incredibly drawn to the appeal of refusing to play. It's not only the fact that they take an exorbitant amount of my cash flow, but they also act as a full-stop from having potential customers interact with the content on my websi

It is reassuring to hear that Jeff at least operates like a decent human. It is so nihilistic to imagine a future where leaders of these insanely powerful tech companies act moreso like, say, characters on wall street.
