   I mean, even a small “back to top” in the bottom right corner, would be better than a fixed menu at the top. At least with that, its not taking up screen height. Phone screens are small , stop putting stuff in the way that’s not needed.

   Anyone else getting this annoying jerking fixed menu at the top when scrolling? Why do people insist on doing fixed menu bars? Does anyone like them? I don't think I have ever used a website where it improved the experience. Phones hav

   Note that Deno is missing locale support. So for example this: (1000).toLocaleString(); will get you "1,000" with Node, but "1000" with Deno: https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues&#x2

   I had a realization a while back, that in my opinion LaTeX isnt really needed anymore. Pretty much anything you can do with LaTeX, you can do with HTML. Want a PDF? Most browsers will print to PDF now, or you can use a library like this: h

    The guardian drains battery because it calls 15 JavaScript files on each page load, followed by another every 5 seconds. This can be solved by blocking 3rd party JavaScript, no need for anything Google related.

    I agree that HJKL is really uncomfortable for a new user. I still reverse J and K sometime, as my brain thinks "the first key should be Up". I guess the thinking is, if you open up some existing document, youre already at the top,

    You get over it if you use it enough. For me its now the opposite. For a while I keep accidentally trying to do Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, but now I find myself trying to go into Visual mode or Normal mode in programs that dont support that. I sta

    PHP is damn good in certain areas. It is one of the best choices (if not the best choice) for rapid prototyping of a program. Its damn fast to similar alternatives (Python, Ruby, Dart, JavaScript), and the standard library is huge. It does

    Great article. I am not keen on relying on Edge for Windows, but that solution is a hell of a lot better than Electron.

    Europe has twice the population of the United States. Yet despite this, United States has 4 TIMES the cases per day. Europe can relax because they worked hard in the beginning to get everything under control. The US never did that, most sta
