The design of Blu-ray.com makes me nostalgic for a web where 12px Verdana was the obvious ideal body font, margins were an optional luxury, and Mac OS X Aqua-style shiny blue-gray gradients behind a menu bar were the height of sophisticatio

The article says he "lived only two blocks away [from 125 St] in Morningside Heights, across the street from Riverside Church", so the author is looking at Harlem from roughly 120 St and Broadway. From that POV, the boundaries of

Old people dying in the US is simply not news because there isn’t a murderer with a gun or a knife, or someone trying to take away said person’s gun. It was plain during Covid. For most American media, the real news wasn’t how elderly peopl

This touches upon something that Europeans generally don’t understand about Americans’ individual wealth: the very last years of your life can drain almost any retirement account. I’ve often had the conversation with Finns who are envious o

Sometimes I wonder why Polish didn’t replace the z digrams with accented letters (č, ž etc.) like many other Slavic languages.

Is it reasonable to assume that individuals and small companies get the same friendly terms as companies with big legal teams and expensive contracts? That may be the case, but I wouldn’t count on it. Probably it can change with one email f

So why not make them in the country? Let’s see… If you start building a factory in the US now, it will take years and you’ll be paying high tariffs on the equipment, high tariffs on the raw materials, high wages for unexperienced workers… A

Many of these people literally believe that "free lunches for school children" inevitably turns into "those socialists will force me to eat bugs in an Orwellian nightmare". For them, Sweden and North Korea are on the sam

This joke has its origins in the days when Soviet leadership was a series of men in their seventies who kept dying on the job. It has acquired a certain acuity in today’s America where the leaders are a series of unpopular men approaching t

Why not? There are a lot of people who use the 2010s de facto standard JS server stack — Node, Express, Webpack etc. — but don't necessarily have the time or inclination to keep up to date with every new project in this space. It'

If you were trying to convince me to build a web app in Java, you wouldn’t need to explain what the JVM is, but you’d need to make a strong argument for why Java is better than the alternatives available in 2025. So the question is whether

I think you might want to elaborate on why this stack is good. Right now it’s summarized as “typesafe fullstack monorepo”… But that’s so dense, it’s practically just three buzzwords together. A more realistic description of the pros and con

Not interested in clicking on a Twitter link, but the claim seems a bit silly. I see lots of sedans in the street made by companies like Tesla, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Maybe the sedan just became a bit more upmarket than it used to be.

What changed was that “web 2.0” happened. Web design’s focus changed from documents to applications. CSS Zen Garden was about styling “web 1.0” HTML documents. But dynamic UIs have completely different styling needs. People started building

Epic used to be a heavy user of the legendary/infamous MUMPS programming language. I wonder how much that’s still being actively developed. This 2007 classic explains how a case of MUMPS progresses when you’re a programmer: https:&#x2

Germany has very strong data protection laws and avoids creating broad centralized national registries because of what happened 90 years ago. DOGE doesn’t seem to have such scruples about what information they’re storing and how.
