Vaguely waving at the problem while continuing to individualize the solution through "choosing" electric cars, "choosing" to install solar panels on houses, and telling people to turn off their home AC meanwhile the 1.3M sq ft vacant office buildings up and down the street blast AC night and day with no repercussion!

The Tiktok search ranking does this for every query. There is no obvious rhyme or reason for the sort. There's a filter button to change how it's sorted, but by default I can never figure out what it's doing.

I search for "retro pc":

1st result 47k views, 4 months ago

2nd result 457k views, 2 years ago

3rd result 9k views, 1 year ago

4th result 133k views, 1 year ago

5th result 1k views, 5 months ago

Make it make sense!

I switched from Android to iOS and back to Android because the keyboard typing predictions on iOS were so bad in comparison. It felt like I was using a phone from 10 years ago.

CSS is very powerful here because you can take advantage of the other attribute selectors to find partial matches:

div[data-my-data^="my-prefix"] (selects by prefix)

div[data-my-data$="my-suffix"] (selects by suffix)

div[data-my-data*="my-substring"] (selects by substring)

Quite a few more of these:

I avoid all of the kebab/camel conversions by using the methods:

Element.hasAttribute('data-thing')

Element.getAttribute('data-thing')

Element.setAttribute('data-thing', '...')

Much more clear what I'm doing without the awkward translating when I inevitably have to inspect/debug in the DOM.

> If you cut at the bottom, you cut the part of the workforce that's actually comparatively cheap on a per-head basis

You mean, the people who actually do the work?

No, because self-organizing does not imply ownership of the means of production.

This is my current workplace. Projects have 1 developer and 2 project managers. The project managers are in meetings all day every day, doing what? And the developer is constantly being demanded to work impossibly tight deadlines, and deal with the project managers backtracking on the requirements. :/

You don't think having 4 people do the work of 20 people is going to backfire at some point? Nevermind the looming Bus factor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor

It's the same people that gave us pop-up ads, and now on-page pop-up ads.

On the other hand, I've found manufacturer sites have a "Where to buy" section that just contains an Amazon link.

Pre-drop shadow we had to cut out static images of the shadow too. And let's hope you never have to change the background that the shadow sits on!

Indeed, and you can have fallback values like var(--my-color, #B22222) and combined with calc() you can do some amazing things in pure CSS.

I rented Dune (Part 1) on YouTube and couldn't play it in HD because I was using Google Chrome (not Chromium or any derivative) on Linux, and apparently the DRM didn't like that. I can play any other YouTube HD/4K videos just fine.

No. Social media algorithmically creates bubbles that isolate people into certain interests. It's a 'culture' manufactured by an algorithm to drive engagement i.e. ad buys. If anything it's a gross manipulation of culture.

In short, the police department's involvement (or lack thereof) has made parents feel that they can't rely on the police to communicate or coordinate during a mass shooting.

100% agreed, I really have to question the motives of people who lump the likes of Discord in with Instagram or Tiktok. They are not comparable.

Your idea of an 'end' seems to start somewhere other than the developer inputting the code which seems odd.

Unfortunately on Mac OS the window management model doesn't make this a good solution. Switching back and forth between apps on Mac OS (from Photoshop to Firefox) brings all non-minimized Firefox windows to the foreground; contrast to Windows or most Linux WMs where it only brings the most recent window the foreground.

The usage of the term 'step' here is in the pre-deployment development process sense. I think what this person is doing is converting SCSS to CSS on request, at runtime.

I also use PHP this way and the speed I'm able to get something from a database to the page and iterate is still unmatched.

Low-tech solution: Maybe they just need some eyeglasses cords?

Indeed, and I'm always tickled to see so-called 'hackers' eager to work above and beyond for The Man.

We let the rentseeking businesspeople step in and control what used to be driven by passionate engineers in their garage.

I personally found this blog article to be quite insulting to my own intelligence by peppering in these pseudo-intellectual clichés like 'paradox of tyranny'.

I see this happen in non-technical spaces too... product managers using project-specific acronyms and codenames in front of an audience of new people. I can't tell if it's some form of narcissistic gatekeeping, or just lack of mindfulness and deep entrenchment in the project for too long. I am so hyper conscious of this that I will stop meetings to ask the presenter to define the terms.

Looks neat. The download link takes me to a Google Drive URL. I think a magnet/torrent option would be preferred.

On Android I switched to AntennaPod. It's FOSS, works great, and I can plug in my Patreon RSS feeds.

I don't know, something about that is offputting to me. When I put pictures in my presentation they are things that I relate to in some way; not just some passive eye candy. The assumption that I need visual drivel to hold my attention is condescending to me.

The closest program I've found for Mac is Pixelmator Pro, but it's not free, and the UI/workflow is more complex in my opinion. Paint.NET is still one of my favorite pieces of software on Windows.
