Fun fact, the cards are standard enough that for MTG Arena, they actually parse them with feature grammars instead of neural networks.

Some people change their account name on Twitter pretty often, since they use an alias, pun, etc. as their display name instead of a real name.

Not sure what the best practice is, but probably you don't want console.debug -- IIRC debug is logged by default, so unless you strip console logs in prod (which defeats the purpose), your users will have their console spammed.

Meh, maybe if you have really good eyesight (I'm mid-20s and have 20/20 vision with glasses), this matters more. Personally, I thought the section where the author compared windows with subpixel hinting off to the same UI retyped

That's fair, if you've been benchmarking but haven't made the benchmarks public / repeatable yet. Too used to software where the authors claim it's fast with no proof or based on heuristics like what language it&#x2

1. The page described is a license management page without user-generated content, so what purpose would a CSP serve besides preventing valid end-user fiddling? 2. YAGNI, in my experience. 3. That's a lot more code than onsubmit="

Do you disagree with the concept of a building code? Mandating how buildings are built to increase safety is the purpose of building codes.

Honestly if you're spending lots of time repeating things to your therapist, I think you need a better therapist, and/or a better therapy modality. Talk therapy is pretty bad in this respect, IMO. I had the most success in Dialect

I run PopOS (System 76's Ubuntu derivative) on my T490, and it works flawlessly with all the upgrades (aftermarket SSD and RAM). I think the only major system-level config I've done is install TLP for better power management. I wo

I appreciated the gifs, personally. Added some humor to the article. Maybe there's a way to have them not autoplay or something.

It's easy to think of Uber as a non-essential service, but it's not really -- it's started to get its tendrils into a lot of places. E.g. https://qz.com/1971558/uber-plans-to-play-a-bigger-role-in-p... -

Would be cool to have resize handles on the shapes, and allow the shapes to go over buildings and tokens so they can be used to cover areas that aren't revealed yet.

I didn't know about GDB follow-fork-mode child / follow-exec-mode new! I always just fiddle around trying to launch the child process directly to debug it.

You see this on Twitter sometimes -- people talk about "en eff tees", I think both to avoid people searching for the term and to be seen by people who have "NFT" muted.

This article is about a road diet in terms of restriping an existing road with fewer lanes, but the same amount of asphalt (and, given the additional markings, probably a similar amount of paint). I don't see what that has to do with t

It seems to me like this scheme is only a half-measure for protecting something, because if an attacker compromises your app and steals a token they can still use it like your app does, right? Say you have wrapped a credit card number in a

Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of hot-code reloading for that reason -- when I'm writing code I'm often trying to get something stable, and if it's having funky issues I don't want to be second-guessing whether it

That's a little unfair. Niche hobbyists will build the alternative UI, and regular people can choose to use it. Like Youtube Vanced or all the Wordle clones (yes those are both normal web. open / accessible data is orthogonal to b
