After reading this reply twice, I realised you are right and UnitInterval type indicates an interval object instead of a single scalar number. I have actually used intervals, and should have realised this sooner. But I just had my first cup

I like this idea of using the type name to define the domain, and variable name to define the purpose.

Interesting idea! One small improvement comes to mind after trying some language combinations – the chosen languages could be (pre)selected on the results page under the heading "Find names for a different language pair", so that

I cleaned up and improved this a little. Now it hides the fixed elements, unless their computed top is at 0px. Also makes the body to scroll automatically, as many sites set their body to fixed before the fixed popup is gone: ``` javascri

Oh, so why it didn’t happen so that browser vendors and W3C did not add some HTTP header to disallow tracking, and browsers did not represent users options to manage their privacy, instead of these mandatory annoying popups?

Finally! EU should have required browser vendors in the first place to handle the intent of the privacy regulation on GDPR, to avoid having this discussion...

I think the whole cookie consent thing of GDPR went backwards, and instead of individual web services being required to show what they track, the browser makers should have been requireed to make it much easier to manage user cookies, and w

I use Vanilla Cookie for Chrome (it deletes all non-whitelisted cookies after some time or after closing the browser), and have been thinking about making a browser extension that just hides all fixed elements and transparent full size elem

This is a cool service, and has surprisingly good coverage of Helsinki. Couple of places are missing though – I need to check what machines they currently have, and submit them!

My local library and Oodi has equally small space reserved for scifi books, and it seems the shelf-space is shrinking each year also. Luckily Finnish public libraries have relatively good sites for reserving books online — maybe I should ge

I have worked remotely since February, and the startup also rents a shared office, which is mostly unoccupied. However, I have used it only when there is a meeting. I rather not use my time to commute, and prefer working at home, some cafe,

I mostly use Youtube with autoplay, recommendations and automatic mixes. I also use Pandora a lot to discover more of some style of music. Sometimes there are gems on Mixcloud mixes, and occassionally I Shazam a song that is playing. Quite

Balanced binary trees usually have some kind of rotations to maintain their properties like left-leaningness. In this application this is to be avoided in order to not not send so many messages. I understood that all participating clients k

Without rooting, you can use the VPN blocking provided by AdGuard. It has some paid features (like ad blocking in apps), which it sometimes reminds about, but otherwise I am happy to use both Chrome and Firefox for Android without advertise

These newfangled Mac OS X users have not used it enough to appreciate it’s pixel-perfected beauty. I’ve been using it as my monospaced font of choice since 1996 when I started to use Macs.
