Some people are literally addicted to the stuff https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/feb/02/the-real-thing-...

I see the media has lost it's fascination with blaming millennials for everything that's wrong in the world. Gen Z, buckle up!

(I'm just a Gen X-er continually amused by the show)

I think you're getting down voted due to the tone of your comment, not the content.

When 6% of complaints are for "unsafe conditions", something is afoot. source: https://www.asherfergusson.com/airbnb/

No, but a scientific study of over 100,000 participants, over 1,000 trials with almost 100 reviews isn't a simple correlation.

It's science.

"Airbnb hasn't been a roll of the dice for me"

Of course it has. You've just rolled snake-eyes every time.

I've never heard of butter measured in knuckles. I thought they used knobs?

I might be alone in this thinking but the "price goes up every 100 purchases" really gives off the wrong vibe. I understand you are trying to convey scarcity and value, but it comes off like some sort of used car salesman pitch.

Maybe I just too cynical these days, but when I hear certain phrases from salespeople, I immediately shut down the conversation and move on. Am I being too critical? Or is there an angle that I'm just not getting?

I love the product by the way! And the price is very reasonable. So I'm just a little bewildered by the hard sales pitch.

The description says these are made from "concrete & cement". Is that to help out with Etsy SEO?

I'm curious because I have an Etsy shop and love to talk all things about optimising the shop front. The competition is steep nowadays over there!

Sounds a bit like acupuncture? I mean, if you ignore the whole "chi energy" angle. Or whatever woo is meant to be awoken by the needles.

I also had a shoulder problem for well over a year. I think it was a pinched nerve. Went to countless physios, tried pills, stretching, weight training and even acupuncture. Nothing. Not a bit of relief, and some times even more pain.

Then I went on a two week holiday to Sri Lanka. Swam in 30C degree water. Laid on the hot sand. And basically did nothing for the entire two weeks. It wasn't until the plain ride home that I realised I was no longer in pain! I've been pain free ever since.

Sorry.. just realised my little story had nothing to do with vaccines or inflammation.

Well that depends...

"We believed that <snip>, workers with limited skills could be quickly trained and perform just as well as workers who would cost twice as much to employ"

My oh my. Will they ever learn?

You could power a small town by attaching a generator to the (imaginary) revolving door of my company used by bootcamp grads, overseas devs and relatives of senior management who tinker with computers.

That last one is not made up!

Recently I've been encountering more and more service workers who are AMAZED at my INCREDIBLE and AWESOME choice from the menu.

Until now I didn't think I had any sort of special ordering skills. I mean, they hand me a menu and I have no choice but to select 2-3 items from said menu. Just like everyone else. But I've come to realise that MY particular choice of those items is somehow better than the common man. I have a skill that was previously untapped and has only now come to light.

SUPER!

I bought 3 packs of black wool socks about 10 years ago. I wear them almost exclusively throughout the year (cold feet) except for sports etc.

Just recently I've replaced them all with 3 new packs of black wool socks.

My life have never been simpler. See you in 2033 for the update!

If you have the money, take a trip to Japan and you can try the best strawberries in the world. Only $500 each!

Seeing as you've adopted TS, have you had the chance to look into Sorbet? The Ruby type-checker?

Aha! I was wondered why people were commenting how the default link colour - which has been in existence for what, 30 years now? has suddenly become unreadable.

It's dark mode! The abomination that will never darken my doorstep, nor my monitor.

I'm definitely in a minority on this one.

"Good morning, How are you doing today ?"

Except for the unnecessarily uppercased H and the extraneous space before the question mark, this is a perfectly fine English sentence, no?

As in, something a lot of people really really believe in but... the truth is scarier than fiction!

Yes it does. You tell the compiler where your html lives and it keeps only the classes that you've actually used. This can be enhanced with a safelist of classes that might be generated by code. So you give it a regex to keep, for instance "all grid classes".

In development I like to generate ALL classes that are possibly available because it allows me to play around in the inspector and everything is available. But tailwind has that workflow in mind too with with Just-In-Time compilation. (I still prefer my way)

Anyhow, on a production site that I work on the final file size is 316KB (35kb gzipped). With a bit of tweaking the config I could get that down to around 250kb.

A "tool" is probably the best term for someone who actually uses BF.

Just be thankful javascript isn't involved!

Turn off wifi? Unplug the ethernet cable? Try it from my garden shed where there never seems to be connectivity no matter what I try.

At $dayjob we have a pretty simple product page (e-commerce site) that has the requirement of 2 or 3 dropdown controls. In the early stages of the build I suggested we use the native browser <select> boxes. The idea was widely panned but I did it anyhow because we were short of time. It took me about 3 1/2 minutes to implement and another 2 hours to join it up with the back-end and write a few simple specs.

Fast forward to 6 months after launch. We've now replaced the native control with an "all singing/all dancing" javascript version written in Vue. Thing is, it doesn't know all the lyrics and it couldn't do a box-step if it was stepping off a box. We get bug reports literally every few days because it doesn't act like the native control. And we'll _never_ actually stop the bug reports because people on different systems expect it to act like the native one. Something that is literally impossible to do when writing it on your own.

So now, even with all the evidence pointing to it being a bad idea, nobody want to rip it out because the integration is too muddy and could cause further bugs.

:facepalm

If I had a nickel for every time I accidentally deleted the wrong email using Gmail...

Maybe not NPM per se. But the cult of JAVASCRIPT ALL TEH THINGS!!! most certainly is. imho

Just curious, since I know nothing about Laravel. What things about the Laravel ecosystem are you talking about?

I know the Rails community has diminished somewhat in recent years. Are you talking about the people or tools/libraries?

Or bump up the font, increase the margins and leading. It worked for my high-school book reports!

4 pages? No problem.

The first thing I look at when reviewing a pull request is the total lines of code added and removed. If the number is over a certain amount (it differs depending on the language and task) I will immediately reject it and ask for a one-on-one. Too many additions or deletions are a signal that something went wrong somewhere. Either the dev went off piste or the task wasn't properly specified. Or sometimes an auto-formatter has gone on the fritz and "prettiered" everything up.

something something Electron.

There seems to be a disconnect between what Shopify do internally and what they ask of their users. With Hydrogen and now Remix you would think they have their sh*t together. But when the official docs recommend that you inline jquery click handlers for a simple adjustment to their shop, I just don't know what to think.

All in all the Shopify dev experience for me is on par with Wordpress. I hold my nose and cash the cheques. Then hurriedly leave the premises in a long trench coat with my hat pulled down to avoid being recognised.
