There’s an iOS app called Unobstruct that provides an extension that will removed position: fixed elements. It helped here.

I'm really impressed by how long apps remain in RAM on my 8 Plus. I'll play a game before bed and find it still where I left off during my commute the next morning, and that's with some browsing/podcasts in between.

I’ve had migraines, both ocular and the “real” kind, so I know how bad they can be. I wouldn’t say they were anywhere near frequent enough to take a preventative drug for it. I’ve also worked with multiple people who’ve had chronic attendance problems, and migraines were one of their many go-to excuses. I know that sounds bad, but at least two of the people I’ve worked with would frequently use migraines as their excuse for coming in late, yet they never once got one while at work. Stolen cars, sick pets, the bus never showed up, etc. It was constantly something, more than once a week. If they were real, and I’m just being judgmental and seeing patterns that aren’t there, then I’m glad they’ll get relief. If not, it’s one less excuse.

I think two spaces after a period is more of a typewriter bad habit than American thing. Back when you had a single monospace typeface, I think it just made things more legible. People who learned it then passed it on to generations who never used a typewriter.

This is great. One piece of feedback, about the reviews themselves: Every time you use parentheses, there’s no space between the preceding word and the opening paren(like this).

I only read through the ACF review, but I saw it a number of times there.

Blue Apron is sooo time consuming. Everything arrives just rolling around in the box. You need to sort it, then find a place to put it in your own cabinets and refrigerator. Their time estimates for cooking are often off by half, and the recipes are hard to follow. I really don't like Blue Apron.

Some of the others I like have the food for each meal all come in a single bag, so I don't have to keep track of it in my fridge. My wife usually handles these and she switches them up frequently, so I can't remember all of them, but my favorite is Terra's Kitchen, because it has the least waste, and short, accurate prep times. All the items are numbered to match the meal they're for.

What I like about Waze: All the data other than the route itself, he location of speed traps most importantly.

What I like about Apple Maps: The actual on-screen navigation experience. I find it’s the clearest about which lane I need to be in.

Waze is terrible about weirdly-shaped intersections and ramps, both in the maps themselves and the instructions about where I need to be to turn/exit.

If you think all the alleys and left turns are annoying, that’s nothing. On I-270, outside DC, it often has me bouncing back and forth between the local and express lanes, for no reason. Probably because some other user nearby in each lane is going a slightly different speed.

They compare it to hq4x in their supplementary materials. Theirs is better.

This started off interesting and very smoothly transitioned to being fully incoherent to me.

Do the random italics and French-style quotes mean something that I just don’t understand, or was the whole thing actually just kind of insane.

Take a while and watch toads eat if you ever get the chance. They're absolutely voracious. When I lived in the south, they used to hang out on my front porch, eating all kinds of bugs attracted by the light. I once saw a toad try to eat a slightly smaller toad. If it's smaller than them and it moves, they'll try to eat it.

I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago. It required a major incision and I was in the hospital for five days after surgery. I had to get up and walk a lap around the hallway a few times a day. I felt it get easier every day, but those first few times were excruciating.

It was good that they made me do it—by the last day, I was starting to develop nerve pain from so much sitting, propped up in the hospital bed. Walking was torture, but so was sitting.

Check out Wes Bos’s courses. He does a great job of making this stuff accessible. http://wesbos.com

Or hold on the hyphen and you can get an emdash, endash, or bullet.

A friend of mine has one for this reason. He actually manages equipment and medical devices for a company that runs hospitals and was able to get one that one of their hospitals was going to throw away. It’s a really nice display for gaming on a CRT, but, to my eyes, not that much nicer than the Sony Wega he otherwise uses.

John Hammond used a tiny genetically-engineered elephant to impress investors in "Jurassic Park".

It was an interesting article. Did the title really bother you that much?

I come from a small town with a very large ZIP code that encompasses several other very small towns. Sure, they have the shapes of buildings, but business locations from eight miles away are shown in the wrong town because they’re both on Main Street in the same ZIP code. It’s the same on both Google and Apple Maps. Neither has been responsive to my corrections through the appropriate channels.

Who cares about the shapes of buildings if their directions send you to the wrong town?

That’s incorrect. You definitely can reuse them using symbol and defs/use.

They aren't all under 1KB, but there a few repos on GitHub hosting all of the Font Awesome icons as SVG.

Also, if you can avoid it, don't use <img src… to display SVG images, as the article suggests. By using <svg… directly, you avoid extra requests, you gain the ability to manipulate them directly in the DOM, and to restyle them.

I wish he included Amazon Basics markers, because in my experience they’re garbage and I’d like some validation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I find that Expo whiteboard spray works even better than wipes on most surfaces.

Expo has at least three greens that I know of. I suspect this is not their greenest green.

Not sure about on this particular surface, but Expo whiteboard cleaner spray works like magic for old writing. I have several different surfaces at the office, including a whiteboard-painted wall, and it works equally well on all. Clorox wipes generally work really well too, but I think the Expo spray is better.

This has been around for many, many years.

Science also has succinct writeup and video on the research http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/10/pesticides-found-hone...

It sounds like you didn't click through. This is not a framework. This is a repository of vanilla JS scripts that take the place of a lot of things that would have had a jQuery dependency in the past.

I once played a game of Tetris on the Nintendo DS (about 10 years ago now) where I maxed out the lines… then the levels… and then maxed out the score.

I played this same game for weeks, mostly on the train to and from work. And wouldn't you know it, but Tetris DS has a bug that won't let you save a score once you pass 100,000,000 or whatever the highest possible score is.

Tetris got a lot easier when they added the ability to infinitely rotate a block for as long as you want at the top of the pile.

You poor thing.

Edit: I meant box-sizing.

Well only wrong in that they weren't following the W3C box model spec. That single inconsistency was responsible for at least 50% of the extra work caused by IE.
