Outside of the main quote that keeps showing up, he was also fairly creepy writing about women he worked with . > Unlike most women at Facebook (or in the Bay Area, really) she knew how to dress; forties-style, form-fitting dresses from

Looks like this would finally allow managing pseudo-classes via JavaScript? What a world.

Though, fairly buried after using the term constantly throughout the beginning of the piece! Didn't find it myself so I came back to HN and saw GP comment. Then cmd+f for "italian" to find it in the article.

There are plenty of uses for snap scrolling and carousels that aren’t rotating hero images. See something like https://airbnb.com which uses it for categories a’la the App Store. Image galleries, Netflix-type layouts, etc.

Fairly certain all music sold through iTunes has been DRM-free since like 2010. Amazon too, I think. (Movies, not so much.)

I'm not sure how much <details> can be customized, but there's also a CSS-only route using a hidden checkbox beneath the hamburger icon and looking for the input[type="checkbox"]:checked selector. (Example: https:

Not sure how much is required to brute force these, but AirDrop has been used in notably sensitive situations like the Hong Kong protests[1], where I’m sure anonymity was assumed. Proximity doesn’t mean I would like to share my phone number

Overcast. It has a “smart speed” feature that cuts out breaks and pauses in a way that’s almost unnoticeable but will save/gain you hundreds of hours. And audio clip sharing and great leveling in addition to privacy features. https:&#

Ditto on environment. I had found that getting out of my normal setting helped with this immensely for me. Going to a coffee shop had been working pretty well (not every time but most times), but covid killed that routine. No thanks to a sp

It took a lot for me to give up trusty ol’ Photoshop for design. I pretty much built my career playing with and learning Photoshop. But they were years behind Sketch and then named their competitor “XD”. What a terrible name. App didn’t see

Another fun aspect of non-breaking[1] and other less common spaces that I’ve realized recently… If you’re ever trying to use a short or previously-used username: many signups will strip out a regular space, but they won’t always catch a ZER

>Photographer Jomppe Vaarakallio has been a professional retoucher for 30 years… >To be clear, this isn’t a knock on the Gigapixel software. Vaarakallio tells PetaPixel that the software is “amazing” and he uses it all the time.

Shouldn’t be flagged. This is super insightful into the inner workings of two companies. Good on the manager for supporting their employee and good on Figma for not giving into these scare tactics. Only a shame that the email from sales did

Wow, this is some of the worst scrolling I’ve experienced on the web in a long time. Incredibly weird and not smooth at all on both a newer iPhone and Mac. Can’t copy text either.

Yeah. Oddly enough, the aforementioned “97%” stat brought me to an Innocence Project page[1] which leads with: > In nearly 11% of the nation’s 349 DNA exoneration cases, innocent people entered guilty pleas. Obviously a small and biased
