Nested is fine. Setting text size to be 50% of parent just rarely does what you want it to do. Well, to be precise, it does exactly what you want for the first week that you have designed it and have not started adding all sorts of other

CSS sucks because the fundamental ideas were a) abandoned, and b) somewhat bad. The abandoned ideas I have in mind were all around user stylesheets. I know some folks are going to dig up an amazing demo. In the wild, this just never mater

Fair, it is not "north" that is my limiting factor. It is being in the Pacific North West. As another poster has said, we have some glowing bugs. Nothing like fireflies, though. And I hasten to add, plenty of other amazing crea

I had to google this. If you count non-flashing bugs as fireflies, sure. Nothing like the typical experience in my backyard when I lived in Alabama. They are very different bugs. Still, neat, to be sure. Indeed, my point in the original

Pacific Northwest. And fair, I should have said east coast, not just south.

"I have a high tolerance for tedious bullshit. This exceeded it." That has to be one of the more amusing reads I've had in a while. And agreed, dealing with all of the extraneous crap that comes along with 3d printing is ama

I didn't realize all fireflies didn't tend to synchronized. Fun read. Fireflies are one of the only "bugs" from the south that I miss. Cicadas, I suppose, have a bit of a soft spot with me. Everything else... nope.

Saw this story earlier today and had the same curiosity on how that worked. Neat to see it fully explained. Is really neat to consider the way that text was done. I know there are countless stories on how text is difficult on here, but it

This isn't accurate, though? Halfway solved, for most teachings, is to have the first layer solved. Indeed, this is a key to teaching people to know how to advance. Do not focus on a side, but learn to advance a layer.

Why is it cheating? We literally teach sports this way? Often times you teach sports by learning in scaled down scenarios. I see no reason this should be different.

This is actually a good example to consider why a better computing model does relatively little to enable some things. Sure, your fob has more computing complexity; the lander had far more of, well, everything else.

Right, I was just pushing the idea that you can't always literally slow things down. That said, no reason you couldn't pantomime juggling really slowly. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if that is a legit path to getti

I forgot about the handkerchief trick to slow things down.

Even dumber, for me, is that I can easily juggle two in either hand. Try to do the same in both hands at the same time? Brain basically recoils in horror.

Shame you can't do this with something like juggling. :D I suppose you can somewhat metaphorically replace speed with numbers there. In that juggling four balls is a lot like three, but faster. Getting the initial three going, though

The metronome of music practice is the idea, here. You don't just do something slowly. You deliberately constrain yourself to a controlled speed and ratchet it up as you go.

Executing fast is important, but practice slowly. It is frustrating as heck to admit it, but forcing your body to do something slowly is very effective at learning to do it at speed.

I presume you just mean the farcical "break a perfectly working thing" idea. But, demolition is a thing. Similarly, turning a usable vehicle in for scrap is also a thing.

Replace window with house, and you basically described a lot of the market? There are also interesting efficiencies in there. Fixing a window is not as quick as just replacing it.

The data clearly shows that if you keep cars cheap, people use them. That is literally the point of this entire article. When they started making driving into the city more costly, more people started taking transit. Is literally the dat

Less the false dichotomy, and more the stickiness of each of those options. To your point (I think), those aren't the only options available, but people do seem to be attracted quite heavily to them.

I was referencing the towns that have called the cops because there were some unsupervised kids in a park. I comfort myself by saying this isn't nearly as common as the fear mongers online would have you think. That there are cases i

Yeah, just writing out the idea, I would imagine I should be able to see a lot of this with my router? Again, I get that that will be a lot I have to write off as "uncategorized." I'm not even trying to drive all telemetry d

To explain it like budgeting. You can forward plan what you will spend money on. But you also need to be able to see where all of your money went. This is nigh impossible with data flow, nowadays. I'd be comfortable with it having l

I would be happy if we just moved to a way we could more realistically enable audits of information flow in our lives. I don't, necessarily, want to restrict my kids consumptions. It does worry me that I don't know how to teach

My only gripe here is the idea of "perhaps hold the parents culpable." I'm not opposed to the idea, but what sucks is we are ultimately all paying the cost of it going wrong. The idea that we can shunt that away to a few ir

Kudos to the team on getting this out! Been looking forward to updating for a while.

Somewhat related, "Gosper's hack" is a fun way to loop through all of the values that have the same number of 1s.

I find the remark that we give things names more as a word play than purpose.... kind of amusing? Like, of course people will find a way to play with the tools they have. And in programming, that is often words. Because what else would i
