malydok··on Energy, and How to Get It
Read it and thoroughly enjoyed it.
malydok··on The most precious resource is agency
It's an interesting fact that one could save many lives by donating to charities and yet wouldn't feel quite the same way about it. Clicking "donate" on a screen and filling in credit card details isn't as thrilling an experience as yours even if it achieves no less.
malydok··on Amazon Co-founder Mackenzie quietly gave over $4B to 384 organizations in 2020
I'd much rather we spent that money eradicating hunger and curable diseases first.

malydok··on YouTube bans coronavirus-related content that directly contradicts WHO advice
The whole citation [0]: "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission".

Should they have not posted this at all?

If you don't need to install stuff from npm and prefer to hack your own, here's a nice list of CSS patterns to get you started: https://leaverou.github.io/css3patterns/
malydok··on Things that I think will be important in the next decade
I thought he meant Libra.
malydok··on Show HN: Tailwind Button Playground
It does require a bit more setup and getting used to but once you're up to speed you'll be going like a madman.

I highly advise adding PurgeCSS to the build pipeline with Tailwind, it can reduce the output CSS from around 250kB to 15kB for a small website without removing stuff manually from the configuration. The setup is explained in the docs [0].

malydok··on Show HN: Tailwind Button Playground
You simply create your own component class and `@apply` tailwind classes to it.

See: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/extracting-components

malydok··on CSS Utility Classes and “Separation of Concerns” (2017)
Wouldn't it be possible to do: `["margin-4", "padding-3", ...(this.isActive ? ["color-red", "font-size-30", "font-weight-700"] : [])]`
malydok··on Audio Fingerprinting using the AudioContext API
Laptop manufacturers are starting to build in camera kill switches, see HP Spectre x360. Not sure how necessary it really is given you could just put a simple slide cover [1] on.

malydok··on Alphabet Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results
Isn't that a result of acquisition, not recruitment?
malydok··on A Son’s Race to Give His Dying Father Artificial Immortality (2017)
I find the "Be Right Back" episode to be more directly fitting here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back
malydok··on A website coding itself live
The trick here I didn't know about is that a `<style>` element's default `display` is `none` and you can show its contents by changing that.
malydok··on Show HN: I made a CRM system to make sales fun
I know a bit of Japanese and it didn't strike me at all. Is it just the "baka"? :-)
malydok··on The Hand Licking Incident
I believe I used to imagine my own heartbeat being the sound of footsteps as I was falling asleep.
malydok··on Japan Is Giving Away 8M Abandoned Houses
Found a better option actually: setting up business. Should be fairly straightforward to do for a single remote developer.
malydok··on WordPress 5.0: A Gutenberg FAQ
I believe that the static site generators of this day are the next step in custom web development. I'm currently working on a Gatsby.js project using Contentful as the content provider and it really feels like the stack of the future - build with all the shiny tools but send a fast, static website to the end user.
malydok··on Japan Is Giving Away 8M Abandoned Houses
Wedding. Would like to know that, too.
malydok··on Using deep learning to detect malaria in images
This is the kind of thing I'm expecting to see more of coming from the ML field. Orgs fighting malaria should take these efforts into consideration, back them, develop ever more robust tools. Which might already be happening, I don't know.
malydok··on What's a CPU to do when it has nothing to do?
I appreciate the article being written in a language a person without much CPU knowledge, like myself, can understand. Fascinating.
malydok··on The Japanese traffic light blues: Stop on red, go on what?
Apropos traffic lights, as a European driving in Japan I was amazed at the ability to go straight on a red light (with a green straight arrow).
malydok··on Ask HN: Cheap places to live with a good intellectual atmosphere?
Related question: where would you live with a remote job away from the big cities if you valued peace and the outdoors?
malydok··on Do we really need eight hours of uninterrupted sleep a night?
Infants aren't born with their circadian rhythms already calibrated, it seems to take time during which the parents are in for some sleepless nights. Not sure how long the actual accustomizing period should last though.
malydok··on Ask HN: Favorite teachers on YouTube?
Essential Craftsman when it comes to DIY and construction: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzr30osBdTmuFUS8IfXtXmg
malydok··on Stacking concrete blocks is a surprisingly efficient way to store energy
Exactly, especially if they get most of the weight material for free or even get paid to take it.

m.facebook.com seems to be working for some people (not me).
malydok··on Japan's Ninja Shortage [audio]
One is a religious congregation, one is not.
malydok··on Show HN: Mimicking the Bloomberg menu widget without JavaScript
I, on the other hand, would like to point out the lack of accessibility of this approach, it's unusable with a keyboard. Let's not forget about assistive technologies.
