I made something similar a few months ago, a CSS pie chart generator

I'm stunned by the image showing the difference between original and what Google apparently considers "high quality"

I'm curious about the actual percentage of US adults who have ever used a delivery service (e.g. Uber Eats). I imagine it's far lower than you think.

The "Avoiding animation pollution" section has a few minor typos,

`transition: * 0.6s ease` won't work anyway, `*` is a selector, they're looking for a value of `all`. Omitting the transition property all together (i.e. `transition: 1s`) is what people often do but this is bad practice for the reasons they stated.

Also, for the CSS examples I believe they mean to set `.animated:hover` to `opacity: 1;` not 0.

I like the idea of using an SVG mask to make a transparent background on the jpg.

I'd add the NWS to that. I don't know of a better place to get weather information and forecasts than weather.gov. Perhaps it's just a lack of ads on the website compared to every other weather site.

And maybe in a few years they'll find a way to shove ads in your face while stopped at a light.

This doesn't actually work, the value attribute of the input doesn't change as a user types something.

With that said, I still think there is a a big discovery yet to be made with browsers leaking users' history via the :visited selector. Only a few CSS properties can be set with it (all related to color). But if there was a way to detect the color difference or timing of the painting that would be a big deal.

Possibilities might be with mix-blend-mode, @property, or applying "slow" css properties like a blurry text-shadow dozens of times. I've played around with this a little but haven't found a crack yet.

Could this mean it's a bad idea to drink Coke from a styrofoam cup?

The good news is that US nuclear weapon silos are stuck with 1970s technology.

It's long past time for executives of these companies and others to be in prison.

Someone can spend years in prison for possession of one of these videos but the people who run a distribution company for them are free.

But the author is using Google fonts on this article.

60 Minutes had a segment on this exact topic of employment for people with autism and their talents

They mention it in the article but we should really be calling this what it really is, 21st century eugenics.

It's not "changing who gets born and who doesn’t", it's killing the weak, the unwanted, the vulnerable.

It's saying that our lives have meaning and worth and dignity only so long as we are wanted and not a burden to others.

Few minds and opinions change on HN but I encourage anyone viewing this as a positive development of society to meet someone with down syndrome in person and ask if that person would be better off killed.

Posting about how the new Facebook design sucks on a blog which I can't read because the blogging platform sucks.

One shouldn't be mislead to thinking these unacceptably long lines are common. From MIT:

> For general elections, the average wait time decreased from 14 to 12 minutes between 2008 and 2012; it dropped again in 2016 to an 8-minute average.

Adam posts a lot of good tips and tricks and is an expert in all things CSS. My criticism was more directed at the performance of the web.dev website which I'm sure is out of his control.

Learn the best practices in web development on a site that makes 408 HTML requests with 43 MB of resources, and has popups.

Chrome inspector says it took my Macbook 1.3 minutes to finish loading.

Apple and Google could easily remove these type of apps from their stores but of course they won't. They're culpable.

It shouldn't be possible to spend a hundred thousand dollars in in-app purchases.

60 Minutes continues to show repeats of their glowing feature on them, how they're going to be the next big thing and how they're set to make hundreds of thousands of truckers unemployed.

I haven't watched the full thing again to see if they mention the company has since closed down or that basically everything that was promised in the report isn't coming true anytime soon, or ever.

Awesome! Would love to see it.

Thanks Tom! I just released thing all yesterday so you're the first person to donate. I was originally going to do some sort of licensing like Flickity (https://flickity.metafizzy.co/) but it seemed like too much work and I'd be totally lost in all the legalese.

The other option would be to put a single ad on the site like I have with other side projects I've made but I thought I'd try a donate button instead. I hope it's not too in your face, it's really targeted toward anyone using ztext in a commercial site or maybe if they're using it in a website for a client. Personal use or just playing around with the library it's not requested to tip anything.

I'm curious how they protect the chicks in the mail during shipping when the temperature has been in the low-mid 90s the past few weeks in PA. Even in Maine it hit 90.

So do I yell out my password to log in to websites?

Okay, so now what to do with the other $199 billion

It looks really great and the one million cells demo is impressive, but that price is way out of reach.

Microwaves have a perfectly usable and quick timer input method. Is there anyone who thinks swiping and scrolling up and down to pick a time makes things easier? I have no idea why they think a smartphone timer should be any different.

I really have a hard time believing consumer behavior is affected by these boycotts. Is the average person running to spend more at Starbucks or Hershey or Honda because they temporarily "stood up to Facebook"?

So it's looking like the 2020s are the decade that video game graphics become indistinguishable from real life video.
