hard to tell with all the cruft but I'll admit I'm not a user. The point stands about the shift in web design in the early 2000s

I think you can guess the boundaries of the design answer here. When you're experimenting with a new technology, everything looks very different and everything looks new. When you look at the net result of people experimenting with it

It's an objectively terrible article. It gives a bunch of arbitrary things to copy without really explaining them, and it is completely useless for building anything real. It is probably written by an AI. It's trash. What on earth

It really isn't a huge language. It's not even a language . There are some basic principles, but it's pretty much a bunch of pick-and-choose attributes for HTML that you can wrap up into "classes". I've worked

You can be the most literate person in the world, but if the way you present yourself is a bunch of flashing pink and purple Times New Roman on a lime green background, I'm going to assume you have nothing useful to tell me. There are

Funny you should bring that up, because FB is a perfect example of a visual relic from the late '00s which didn't age well. Much of the post-dot-com-crash world of design in the web and early mobile space was defined by a rejectio

No. System fonts have completely different reasons for existing than fonts you would want to use to communicate with the public. System fonts were initially created for legibility at certain screen resolutions, for dot-matrix printers, etc.

This is the example of people trying too hard to make things "scream". Just plain Times New Roman or system font conveys a slightly different form of illiteracy...

Counter-counterpoint (from someone who minored in typography): The purpose of a font is to be transparent as glass to the data being transmitted to your eyes. That is why if you notice a font and think it's stupid, the designer has mad

Like, this is a clever enough way to play golf and find an average that works between major browsers and come out with something that should generally be legible. "Look great" is a bit of hyperbole, because it'll always look

yknow what's also cool is specifying the font you want, so your website looks the way you want it to. This is generally referred to as "design" and, while considered an antipattern among people who entirely spurn aesthetics,

C'mon. I'm a full stack dev but this is like me saying I just want to code something quick in C++ but don't know anything about it. Maybe I don't know how to tell a pointer from a shared_ptr or what a destructor is. Even

If you want to make a personal website, you have two routes: Use a template thing like wordpress, with a GUI, or learn at least a bare minimum of HTML, CSS and probably some Javascript, as well as how to set up a server. What's offered

Not to sound like an asshole, but I bet losing that backpack would be as bad as someone else losing their car.

I don't get it. I mean, yeah I get wanting to make extremely minimal web pages that are readable on every screen. But if that's your goal, the solutions are pretty well understood. Who's the target audience for this, i.e. who

Android's developer mode has an option to "Set mock location app" so that you can test an app you're building that relies on location data. Various spoofing apps take advantage of this. On iOS, I don't know.

Yeah, for me as well. Although for me, it's not because I wonder why someone hasn't responded... it's because often I'm in the middle of something and don't feel like responding right away, and I get overly concerne

About a year ago, I started sharing location with my girlfriend. In general I hated the idea and I'd sworn I'd never do it in previous relationships. But she lives about 20 minutes away, and she convinced me it would be nice for t

Vague. Are you talking about reasons to create like the joy of creating? Your bio describes you as a 'tech entrepreneur', not 'DIY tinkerer'. So I'll assume that when you spend a great deal of time entrepreneuring s

It's strange that socialists seem more concerned with their material possessions than anyone else.

Only if you assume people's major motivation is wanting what they don't have, as opposed to wanting a little more to survive. History shows the opposite.

Yeah, but which tech has not had a homegrown variant that ultimately democratized it? Makes me think of the "feed" vs the "seed" in "The Diamond Age".

Wow. Good for you. A 4 mile run would almost certainly kill me. I think I'd drop dead after about a mile. Cardio is the one thing I'm really not good on, and I have a minor arrhythmia. About 20 burpees and I feel close to blacking

You make a good point. They may well as admit at this point that curing cancer, new physics, and AGI aren't going to happen very soon. What surprises me a bit is that they'd take this TikTok route, rather than selling Sora as a ve

So only the heads of companies who lead shareholder meetings are vulnerable to this exploit? Cool.
