Weird, happens for me too (in Safari, but not in Chrome). Perhaps it's something to do with the iframe that it's embedded in? In any case, here's the original gist, which doesn't seem to have the same problem: https:&#x

I think that's a great idea. Make it more visible, and then you get normal people to care about it and put pressure on content owners, developers, etc. Like Google did with their "mobile-friendly" tag; I could yell at my mana

Related to your second point, here's a piece that really got me thinking: https://medium.com/@urchkin/leveling-both-sides-of-the-playi... . I'd love to see the industry become less masculine, rather than the

Two scrolling behaviors that I found odd on this page and on the NY Times example[1] on iOS: - You can't scroll to the top by tapping the status bar. - The scrolling momentum is different. There's less friction, as if you were scr

I found it pretty funny that he said Match is "dying" in that article: When he does engage in conversation, Frind can be disarmingly frank, delivering vitriolic quips with a self-assured cheerfulness that feels almost mean. Yahoo

Interesting! I wonder how that happened. EDIT: The link, that is. Looks like the URL accepts any date, i.e. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2099/05/19/altered-states-... . So maybe benbreen just missed

I voted for bookmarking, but I use it for a bit of both, confusingly. I feel like what I'm missing is some sort of mechanism for privately bookmarking repositories, perhaps with optional tagging or personal notes. I usually star a repo

Exactly! That list doesn't include Germany unfortunately, but I ended up going for the Blue Card instead, which is pretty easy to get if you have a university degree and work in an high-demand industry (like tech). Here's another
