I live in Portland, OR, e have pretty good bike infrastructure. If the goal is to be seen, there are indeed other options. LED glow or area lights are probably more effective than the eye melters pointing towards the sky and much less hosti

Yes, me too. I'm a daily bike commuter and am quite sympathetic to the being seen aspect. This goes way beyond that in some cases. Case in point: a good chunk of my ride goes through the Portland Springwater corridor. This is a dedicat

And don't even get me started on the LED eye melters that cyclists are running these days. Some are about as bright as car headlights, but the spread and aim are inferior - especially since the folks that run those invariably seem to p

Probably the best way to test things like that is with a visual regression testing tool [1][2]. In practice these are difficult to get right and tend to produce a lot of false positives and negatives. See for instance Huxley [3] [1]: https

I've used two techniques: 1) use a prefix (t-) for test selectors and do not attach any styles to them (put them on the elements you need to target directly so the tests do not have to know about the DOM structure) 2) use data- attribu

Pretty good article, but gah! This trend of putting animated gifs into long read articles has to die. How are readers expected to concentrate when there's a gratuitous dancing picture next to the copy?

Yes, but there is another form of bias which is guest selection. NPR guests on shows like Morning Edition are overwhelmingly mainstream establishment voices (often from think tanks like Heritage and Cato). I'd prefer a wider range of v
