This is a good behavior, since it means less bytes to transfer per connection. Worst case scenario, the browser doesn't have/can't get the intermediate certs required and the connection fails.

Works on every major compiler. I don't see how that's non-portable.

I bought a year of Medium subscription but I don't think I'll renew it because their suggestion algorithms are bad. If you click on one programming-related article you will be forcefed exclusively the most boring programming crap ever until the end of time. There's like a million articles on there about "programming habits" and "genius daily routines" and "productivity hacks" and "programming career advice" ... all very boring content.

A major issue I see with online blogging is the glut of tech and computing content drowning out everything else. The barrier to entry for self-hosted content also means most self-hosted content is tech oriented.

I think a big factor with color themes is actually the monitor settings. I have my monitor tuned for dark mode everywhere. If I put a light theme on, the contrast doesn't look right and I go back to dark themes. Maybe it's a result of my fine-tuning, but the default "Visual Studio Dark" theme in VS Code is my favorite. It's a great minimalist theme. And I've even tried a lot of the minimalist themes suggested in this thread.

There's this WP article https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/10/26/faceboo...

where they bend the truth. The headline is "5 points for an angry emoji, one for a like", but in reality it's 5 points for any emoji at all, and one for a like. Which I think makes sense, hitting like is something that's automatic for a lot of people, whereas taking the time to select an emoji that most closely matches your reaction to a post is a much more "engaged" interaction.
