I didn't cite any numbers. You can look up the age discrepancies between AM/FM during the early 80s. FM was dominated by the 12-24 demo, but the music industry was attached to AM and reacted slower to audience research back then.

HTML has its own syntax, including closing tags and quotes around attribute values. Since HTML is the benchmark here, are you suggesting semicolons at the end of statements are harder than either of these?

It's theoretical physics. Metaphysically and experimentally, the question may be absurd, but the exercise of calculating entropy for potential universes could still yield novel understandings about the actual universe.

While I agree with your overall point, a longstanding previous trend does not indicate a present trend. This is a popular "fallacy fallacy". The metrics of evaluation can change while dumbing down still occurs. If you look at the

This type of article pops up every year, but the argument always presents a false dichotomy. Yes, most things don't need to be SPAs or implement cutting-edge CSS features. That doesn't mean you have to build your website in pure H

Cultivars are highly regional. About half of the apples on this list are ones I recognize as being generally available in the US, depending on the time of year, but I'm not sure how the others were chosen.

The ratings aren't serious, but I like the idea of having a "go to" site that simply provides a rating, brief description, and that's it. It would be great to have something like this for movies, since IMDB and RT are no

They have Fuji below Gala. I'm surprised you made it that far.

Good read, thanks. Are there any users of Gitless among us? I'm curious to know if anyone is using it full time.

Didn't know about Palermo FC, thanks. MLS counts too, I guess, though no one really watches it yet.

It's interesting that no professional sports team has decided to go full pink as one of their primary uni colors. It would be an amazing branding opportunity. The closest I've seen is Miami Heat's Vice unis https:/&#x2F

You can't report the driver's plate # if you can't read it. So that alone warrants ripping it off.

In what way has the parent poster been "radicalized" compare to, say, the average Trump supporter? If everything is radical, then nothing is radical.

"Back then" the Internet was disproportionately populated by educated people—college students, academics, engineers, and the professional class. Disenfranchised people were not using the Internet on their phones during their break

I'm a bit bewildered by these memory complaints. RAM usage on desktop applications hasn't been an issue for 20ish years. Open up your process manager once in a while.

I came here to read comments of the token Electron complainers accompanying every thread like this.

You know, you don't have to buy anything new. It's not a violation of your principles to buy a used Mac from 2017.

It could be a nice side effect, but it's probably not the primary reason. Zoomers and gen alpha users are fickle consumers, and engagement drops when they are presented with "old" content. Google has the competence to build a

The screen reader cares about the big stuff, such as using headings, tables, and lists correctly. And of course, implementing ARIA attributes correctly. Other than that it doesn't matter too much.

- I can tell immediately what the product is and how much it costs. - The profile photo as the favicon is a nice touch. - Price point looks about right. How about a dark mode?

To be fair, "Oxford" begins with "O", and, as far as contemporary/flat ring logos go, this is one of the better examples I've seen. It is an attractive logo, even if the ethos of the previous logo is lost.

Within the fonts that aren't monospace, some fonts have less variation in glyph width than others. It's a spectrum. You can choose a font that is mostly monospace, but not completely, to confer benefits for readability. If all you

Yes. I assume there is a point here, but you're not being very forthcoming about it. Is your suggestion that YouTube could function as a way to audit potential college courses? Good idea, except you would already need to know what you&

Reading is a big part of writing, and I'm not sure how almost monospaced fonts would perform for reading. Probably about average, if the conclusions from this study are correct: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/bes

You don't know what you don't know. A big part of education is studying what you don't necessarily want because it helps inform your intellectual interests.

This is the appropriate response. It's more about China saving face and their attempt to maintain control than actual Covid-19 prevention, although there is some of that too. They had a choice to accept Pfizer and Moderna early on and

I agree, but sometimes HN folks misinterpret pedantry for subtle but necessary distictions that can make or break an argument. In real life, people tend not to tolerate either.

Weird to use NYC as the example here, given the ghost town that is Manhattan.
