In my experience, turning on entire pre-prod infra to e2e test earlier has been effective at reducing overall test suite runtime (in that we're running e2e tests often to the extent we spot + eliminate the flaky ones). And by virtue of

I'm wondering if the end result is just fine if you cube the apples instead. Something a little more crisp, but maybe not a tarte anymore at that point?

I'm curious what the convention is for gold consumer electronics at EoL. Do you bring it into a jeweler and get the gold casing pried off and melted down?

Sadly, many schools making these purchases are painfully uninformed about tech, hence why we see so many consumer-hostile edtech subscriptions succeed. They definitely would benefit from some EoL transparency

Most people I know who actively use Quora are in the 65+ demographic. I've asked what's keeping them, and it turns out they have much more tolerance for things like sponsored posts and mandatory signups than most users would

Definitely signing up for this one. It looks like the community is going strong over there. Also fun to have more achievement stats than Steam, there's so much you can do with that kind of data

Paywalled features really cheapen a brand. Nothing about a monthly subscription to activate existing services really screams "premium" to me.

Yeah I was trying to figure out what that was all about. It seems it's like a desk drawer? I can only assume it's to preserve the silhouette when the trunk is opened, can't think of any practical advantages

Imo dismissable ads are worth it when the browser doesn't sell your data. Then again, I only look at the FF start page for like 2 seconds at a time

> You can actually check out an iPod Touch, generously provided by Washlava and SidPac, to open the Washlava app and perform your laundry. Score! I love how this would totally feel hyperbolic as a comedy skit

I love the cheat sheet format for programming language guides. Hoping this becomes more of a trend. It's nice not having to click through dozens of pages when following a guide.

I think something that could help a lot of people would be a browser devtool comparison page. You can take your existing browser tags and show which devtool features exist on each browser. Personally, I would 100% use a guide like that to d

I'm all for the idea of using the compose spec for other configs -- its so elegant and its always nice to see everything in one place.

Would love to hear their plans to improve GG bridge transit infrastructure. Public transit from SF/Marin is already so limited and bridge traffic can be a nightmare as is.

Beautiful UI! With its focus on modularity, it looks like this could be a spiritual successor to Atom (RIP)

I know, right? I've spent the last 15 or so minutes just marveling at how nicely cleaned up it all is, I can only imagine how overwhelming it must've been to see the mess it was. Really shows what some extra time/budget could

Really cool project! The API call functionality could be a good feature for docs, feels cleaner showing the sample response there instead of a dropdown.

This is my #1 priority now that I'm in the market for a new keyboard. I lose so much typing efficiency when switching between laptops, so functionality or comfort is no longer a leading factor for me.

This is good to know -- I primarily use FF and couldn't narrow down why my site was bugging out but running fine on other browsers. Glad its not a compatibility issue.

Yeah that was pretty cool, although I guess you run the risk of some browsers presenting it unrendered. If I had a majority of mobile users for a site, I probably wouldn't think twice before using an emoji in my url -- definitely makes

True -- many hrs are too busy to look at projects, but from talking to peers/colleagues I can't think of more than a few people in my space that don't have at least something pinned on their gh. Many of them do this for the s

Google's "featured snippets" make it too easy for content farmers to thrive. As long as someone has the exact search "What is ___?", "How do I do _____?", etc formatted as an h2 with a simple explanation u
