sorahn··on Apple Says Apps Must Now Disclose Odds for Loot Boxes
There is “trickery” in the sense of dark UI patterns involved though.

There is no easy way to distinguish between the IAP for Mario Run ($10 once, to buy the full game) and $10 in coins for spins for lives for Candy Crush (or however it works now).

The result is that people don’t want to spend ANY money on mobile because so much of it is scamming garbage, that the rest of It might as well be too.

sorahn··on Elon Musk: Falcon Heavy's first payload will be my Tesla Roadster to Mars
He said the destination is “mars orbit”. So if it gets there, it should be hanging out waiting for humanity to get there.

I wonder how long the battery pack on the tesla will run the radio.

No, I'm not joking.

both `className` and `htmlFor` are what the actual DOM uses. [1][2]

skip the `min` for production completely.

use `fa.css` and if you want the expanded one for development, then you could have `fa.[max|debug|whatever].css`

sorahn··on Ask HN: Is there anything worth purchasing on Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
I took it to mean "I have some extra money, and I want something to fiddle with, is there anything that the hackernews readers know of that might be on sale?"

But maybe that's just my question...

We just wrote all our own inline styles to override their stuff. It turned out to be not that bad. We just set up a context object like theirs, and wrapped all the components we used.

I saw this[1] recently by one of the guys from material-ui[2].

They're going to move to JSS.

sorahn··on Apple just told the world it has no idea who the Mac is for
Not only can usb-c replace HDMI, it now is a straight pin through to HDMI. No chips needed.

sorahn··on MacBook Pro
USB-C can run a straight pin out to HDMI now, so you would just have to carry a cable, not a dongle and a cable.

sorahn··on What should go into JSX 2.0?
We already do this when we have a lot of props to pass down. "A lot" usually means enough to take the line past 100 columns.

const componentProps = {}; <Component {...componentProps} />

Then maybe AirPods aren't for you. Just get another set of comfy bluetooth headphones and use those.

I had one of these many years ago with a dock connector instead of a lightning cable. It just lived in the car.

sorahn··on Email Apps Suck
> My kingdom for a unified inbox and a Mac app. I would never leave Google Inbox again. It’s almost perfect – stable, amazing Google-powered search, snoozing by time and location, all the bells and whistles.

I've used Fluid.app[1] to create 'standalone applications' of webpages. It's always worked great, and is almost what the OP is asking for for 'inbox'.

>it's a ton of work to integrate into an app when you have maybe 3 sets of radio buttons to deal with

Untrue. It easily reduces the amount of code in your component, and actually gives you the ability to make your FormComponent as a stateless component.

Open source is the better model for every single industry. It's coming.

sorahn··on Primer – CSS toolkit and guidelines that power GitHub
Fair enough, I take it back :)

That being said, I have seen lots of vertical "off-by-one" issues related to trying to combine line-height, vertical-align, and padding.

sorahn··on Primer – CSS toolkit and guidelines that power GitHub
The real problem here is using vertical paddings.

One solution I've found to getting vertical heights the same across browsers is to use no vertical padding, and large line-heights.

This was happening to me too. I could see the output from node that said it figured out there were multiple stylesheets, but it didn't seem to care, and just went about its business showing the first one.

That site specifically was a porn site. Our 3.0 upgrade of the site involved a lot "get this working, NEXT!" so the CSS is kind of a mess. I've got a nice stat page to show me just how much of a mess now though!
