My browser (FF66 Win10) lags and hangs when browsing this site. Also, the AV1 videos have frozen and I can't get them to play again without refreshing. I can recreate both of these bugs by simply changing tabs. Despite that, I'm r

This is a fun story and an easy read. I like how much hand wringing there was about possibly favoring Chrome. Earlier this year YouTube showed me a similar banner: "Watch YouTube videos with Chrome. Yes, get Chrome now." https:&#

It's not just the old web. I have a small website that does not show up in Google's results. When searching for the title of the site it's the 7th result on DDG yet does not appear on Google at all (Google runs out of results

Maybe this is nonsense, but I wish I had a way to lazily load content (images) without JavaScript. The JavaScript solution is very minimal, but maybe an HTML/CSS option would also be simple.

I've noticed plants do poorly behind windows at my office (thick glass, newer glass) despite being South facing (northern hemisphere). At home in a windowsill behind glass from the 60s they thrive. Anyone had a similar experience? Thin

When I do the math I find the cost per mile for electric is 80% the cost of gas. That's based off 35 mpg car, $2.20 gas, 60kWh electric battery with 238 miles of range, 10% loss in the charger, and $0.19 per kWh. All in all about $100-

There's no monthly fee, but you do have the cost of running that Windows 10 machine. What does that amount to? At 100W and $0.14/kWh I calculate about $10, which is competitive with something like Nest Aware.

I believe with the first puzzle Leonardo intended the wheel to appear to rotate clockwise. This is why the ball on the right hand side is at the center of the wheel. This is also why there are blocks filling the outer corners but not the in

This is how I feel as well, especially in a work context. It's liberating to have hardware freely available for use. I'm dreading the day when our computing grid is made more efficient (smaller and tolled).

I believe this is the word that best fits. skeuomorphic - Pertaining to skeuomorphs, obsolete design elements which are retained for familiarity or out of tradition, even though they no longer serve any functional purpose.

Is there a word for this: when the tradition is maintained in form but not in function?

I may have missed it, but did you consider Ace Collection brand beds (108", or 144" width) and if so why did you not select them?

Is there a simple explanation for why consciousness (as an idea, or something distinct from unconsciousness) is necessary? I think my wording was poor. I don't mean necessary for things that may exhibit consciousness. I mean why should

In my experience the impact from mandatory museum fees is that people will not make short museum visits. A single new exhibit is not worth $25, nor is a 1 hour visit after lunch or before dinner. When there's a large cost visiting the

The author repeatedly writes attacks against feminists, but dresses them up as other topics of interest. This article is framed as a defense of Aziz Ansari from the perspective of an aging female baby-boomer detatched from the younger gener

I believe the parent comment (it is flagged now so I can't be sure) used the term anti-feminist because the author has previously described herself as an anti-feminist. To the question, it is anti-feminist by its acceptance of the uneq

It's useful to read about the author of this article because she is using this incident to push her larger worldview. To be clear: I believe this isn't an article concerned about Aziz or "Grace" as people, nor about peop

I would never buy glasses from a store again unless the prices were competitive with the online prices. That said, I've bought lots (>5) of terrible glasses online. Plastic ones break, sometimes the fit is bad, sometimes the lenses
