For me letters rarely move around, but words will move or disappear. Even then though they don’t constantly shift, it’ll just not be there and then a minute later it’s there. My problem with numbers is that they add themselves together and

Isn’t “cancel culture” just a new word for “capitalism” and “let the market decide”?

Are you familiar with all the immigration bans though, and what republicans say and do? They’re pretty thoroughly against legal immigration.

It’s a system of people. So obviously the “root-cause analysis” would only happen if the problem wasn’t an accepted part of society. Why would anyone seek to solve a problem that no one cares about. If half of the population (the people wit

The US is an oppressive surveillance state with regular police murdering minorities, rampant white supremacy, and when not in the middle of catastrophically mishandling a pandemic, has a mass shooting every day of the year. To most people o

Satire is meant to be funny and insightful. This is not satire, it’s just a bunch of bored ignorant people mocking something they don’t relate to instead of spending the same amount of time trying to understand it.

They’re lowering salary for a different reason. But you have to tell them what state you have residency so they can withhold income taxes for the right state and not be liable for tax evasion. You’re conflating two separate things

Typically when you live in another state for 3 or more months you “establish residency”. Not declaring this properly on your state income taxes is tax evasion. Lying to your company about residency and tax evasion to receive more money is f

Not running ads with blatant lies is not partisan. Having a policy of allowing all lies and providing tools for sale to microtarget users so that people can’t validate truth only favors politicians pushing lies and not people viewing them.

If that were the case then there is no truth in society and/or the facts are so hard to find that there effectively isn’t a democracy. Given that last election they took large sums of foreign currency for political ads, had representat

I think we’re looking at the problem wrong. Facebook solves for some social aspects of the web really well, and then layers on some toxic nonsense for profit. We don’t need to replace Facebook. We need to regulate it, and replace its leader

Is this trending on hn because “working yourself to death by digging an empty hole in the ground you’re obsessed with, that some VC you’re married to will spin off and profit from” is so analagous to generic tech startups?

In the case of preloading. The performance you're shaving off is all the time it takes to download all the images on your page. Which can be significant. If you're on a slow connection, it can make a page load like it was loading

Great points. The first article only lightly touches on those topics, in part 2 I'll talk more about the challenges and constraints that lead us to the srcset widths we use at Webflow and our image processing / compression stack.

You could do that, but there's a performance benefit to doing it with srcset/sizes in the html. The cascading part of CSS means the a later rule could override an earlier one, so to determine which image variant to download when l

Regarding bandwidth, adding responsive images should reduce bandwidth consumption because it downloads a smaller version of the image. As long as you provide a `src` attribute, older browsers will just ignore the `srcset/sizes` attribu
