Good lord, why would you make your website so intentionally hard to read?

Michael Jackson was a pop star. Selling out was never a sin in pop music.

Agree, this needs context. I thought this was like some sort of unclaimed government funds thing or something at first.

There was one in Strasbourg, France, by the cathedral

This is arguably what MVP is supposedly to mean

The episode is "Mark Zuckerberg: The Worst Person of the 21st Century (So Far)", in three parts (eps. 43-45) [1] [2] [3]

If the idea of spending a summer in a firewatch lookout tower sounds cool to you, I highly recommend the indie narrative game Firewatch [0]

> they're all sold out to froufrou boogies!

That's specious, Trader Joe's is cheaper than other stores for plenty of items

For me, the images and text are out of sync; by the time the focus in the image has moved to the next item, the text is already hidden under the image.

Does not work in Firefox's reader mode, unfortunately

Sometimes I think people forget how capable computers are. 500k is not much. You can just slap that in a Lucene instance. This is a solved problem.

Oh jeez, I hadn’t thought about the blocked element being different than the aria-tagged one. What a nightmare

I literally just left a Trader Joe’s and I couldn’t find a single tin

What's with the xpath selector? Is that just matching deeply nested elements?

What is a "finished" cookie?

Buying clothes at your destination doesn't always work out if you're not a standard size -- which may vary dramatically depending where you're going.

> The term "ice cream" is pretty well regulated in the US. Really shows where our priorities are as Americans.

Most natural food products are regulated in the US [0]. Ice cream is not unique in this regard, nor is the standard is particularly onerous compared to others. It easily fits on single page [1].

It’s also very over-designed; there are multiple different styles for headings, subheadings, pull quotes, section headings, etc etc. All with their own colors, font faces, font sizes, etc.

And it’s all too bloody dark!

Any particular reason that “Andiamo” is so popular? It’s apparently Italian for “let’s go” but why is in the top 10? Is there some reference I’m missing?

The icons for the different shapes don’t really make a lot of sense. It’s not really obvious how some of them work and many are quite unlike the actual pattern (which you have to scroll down to see on mobile).

Also Cahill–Keyes M, which I’ve never heard of or seen before, is described as “the classic M”. That’s not really helpful.

There's a weird bug with the infinite scroll where the page width and/or column widths randomly change slightly when I hit the bottom of the page every once in a while

> Application Error

Site seems to be crushed under load

Country code TLDs would be one reason. Many countries reserve top-level domains names and only sell second-level domains (e.g. example.co.uk)

I think they mean it hasn't been discussed in the comments

Not very obvious what this is on mobile. The info button is nearly unreadable.

Is there a good summary somewhere for those not already following the story?

Maybe they were just wistful? Hard to know with such a short comment.

This is case where you need to make sure your test data reflects real-world usage or you end up optimizing for the wrong thing.

Ideally a new elevator installation would have a trial period where they record usage and then run it through a simulator like this to determine the optimal strategy for that particular building. And you'd want to re-run it every once in a while as the building tenants/usage changes. I wonder if this actually happens, though.

Impressive, but for full points it should work on the public internet!
