For what it’s worth, other languages than English may consider Y a vowel. French does, for instance.

In my opinion this actually makes more sense.

That is so good, works excellently even on mobile. I shall bookmark!

What do you mean?

I don’t see anything to do with opinion or personal preference of the author in the quoted statement, hence my question.

It also doesn’t address the fact that vegetarians and vegans will spend more time making sure they don’t accidentally eat something that doesn’t fit with their dietary choice, but that trawling through every ingredient for every menu item is a huge faff that’s avoided by simply labelling vegetarians and vegan items clearly.

It feels like the argument of “removing labelling will result in more consumers choosing vegetarian and vegan options” relies on, ultimately, tricking the consumer. That can’t be a good proposition to start from.

I was going to say that. It’s amazing how often French users get it wrong when filling in forms. It can result in online services trying a more informal tone calling people by their last name only (“Salut, DUPONT!”), which can be seen as a bit rude. People don’t read form labels with great attention.

So you’re using S, not CSS

This is called “faire la liaison” (“make the link”) between the two words. If the first word ends with a consonant, and the next word starts with a vowel, then do pronounce that last consonant.

Any examples of those books?

And by “carnivore”, do you mean specifically including meat? Or do you mean something completely different, like a ‘varied & balanced’ diet?

I find it odd to list the biggest change in a move from a more tribal to a more westernised diet as being “beer & grains”. I would have expected the increase in sugar and chemicals/preservatives to be the relevant factor.

My understanding of bigger salaries outside the UK is that they are based on longer working hours, with very little focus on quality of life outside work. This may only apply to the US, but in any case I’ll always personally consider off-work time a very precious requirement.

I like my hands resting near the bottom of the keyboard, so Cmd-tab is very quick as it is within reach and does not require using my eyes. To use those function keys I’d have to look at the keyboard, which feels like a waste of time.

Though I’d rather have function keys back instead of the touchbar, as changing volume/brightness now requires looking at the keyboard as well as a certain precision/dexterity.

Edit: formatting.

Given the rather arbitrary nature of ‘10x’ I’m not sure this kind of precision is relevant here

This is most excellent advice, and certainly did not state “you should not get a puppy from a reputable breeder”, which seems to be what a lot of the replies to it assume it said.

> The idea that we grow food to feed cattle or fish to feed pets is among the biggest environmental stupidity I can think of.

That is the wildest exaggeration I can think of.

I’m also vegetarian, though I am because I’d rather not kill things when I don’t need to. The environmental benefit is an appreciable side effect, and confirms to me I’ve made the right choice for myself. I like to try to share my views with as many people as I can, but I think expecting everyone to ‘just get it’ is setting yourself up for failure, and ultimately unhelpful in the long run.

I have a script running on the raspberry pi that scrapes the Council website and emails me with what bins need to be out on Monday. Runs every Friday. I still await the email with anticipation every week.

In view of the public is substantially better than out of sight to avoid theft.

There is a huge amount of content besides SPAs on the internet.

May this continue.

That seems like a rather specific use case, which can be handled regardless by using `@media print` styles.
