Helvetica Now Variable 5 years ago

Yes, the good ones require a lot of hard work by designers and producers.

Where else can you find a sans-serif battle-tested over a century that's variable, for free?

Square Banking 5 years ago

From TFA:

For instance, it is easy for a user to land at an awkward scroll position which leaves an item partially on-screen when panning.

To this end, this module introduces scroll snap positions which enforce the scroll positions that a scroll container’s scrollport may end at after a scrolling operation has completed.

Which is exactly what this page is doing.

primarily a touch interaction

It's exclusively a scroll interaction, whether the pointer event is the result of mouse or touch input.

the DOM page is still scrolling natively

I'm not sure what you're trying to say by "DOM page." JS is reacting to the scroll position of the viewport. The user experience is the same.

Leaked phone number of Mark Zuckerberg reveals he is on Signal 5 years ago

Interesting aside. Back on topic: the homes were not granted to Zuckerberg; and his residents are not serfs. So they are not "perfectly comparable," they are barely comparable.

(not to mention serfs could not be bought alone, they could be sold with the land. Maybe you are thinking of slaves?)

Show HN: A simple, plain, minimal, classless CSS for simple, plain HTML pages 6 years ago

If you want heading anchor links, go for something like[...]

...something like `a > h1`. Anchors wrapping block headings feels...wrong, but it's valid HTML5.

Most browsers will set the inner `h1` as display: block so the click/tap target for the `a` becomes larger. (`h1 > a` with `display: block` would have the same result though).

Also make sure that content isn't being duplicated for the user, `a` and `h1` are waypoints for users. `aria-` attributes can help you here.

LOTS of competition with "why did we ever stop using nested element selectors?!" projects like these. Baseline is you have to be better than Normalize, and this isn't.

Was anything but personal preference the reason for changing the link color, the body font to specific typefaces, the font-size to a little smaller than normal, etc?

Links are much worse, no focus, no text-decoration, confusing colors. You have to nail this stuff.

Less screen time and more sleep critical for preventing depression 6 years ago

It was specifically "sedentary screen time" defined as the total "hours per week, adding together the participants’ answers to the questions:

1. "In a typical DAY, how many hours do you spend watching TV?" and

2. "In a typical DAY, how many hours do you spend using a computer? (not including time using a computer at work)"

The IDE Divide (2004) 6 years ago

HTML and CSS are all you need, with some vanilla JS

For a modern web application?! Absolutely not, the things the OP mentioned (webpack, 1000 node packages etc) are essential.

Even on the IDE side, I have...100 extensions installed?

Oregon becomes first U.S. state to decriminalize possession of all drugs 6 years ago

when Florida took a harder stance against Doctors prescribing Oxycontin making it more difficult for people to acquire and abuse, there was an exodus of people to states that had more relaxed laws

Is there a source for this? Florida was a MAJOR supplier of Oxycontin for other states near and far until the crackdown in 2011. Prescription monitoring reduced pill smuggling to other states.

Addicts didn't move to other states, they moved to another drug--heroin. Heroin is covered by the new Oregon legislation.
