I'm surprised the article doesn't talk about the <datalist> element. It makes the using the native time input much more user friendly as you can populate it with common times (e.g. Every 30 minutes: 09:00, 09:30, etc... instead of allowing every minute to be selected by default)

It's not quite fully supported in browsers but it's a nice enhancement to those where it works.

But it's not really a clickbait title.

If it was clickbait it wouldn't say what the 'most hated' css feature is to bait you into clicking it to find out what the feature is.

The “Most Hated” CSS Feature

The “Most Hated” CSS Feature: cos() and sin()

Surely the fact they've linked to a shopping site backs up the opening paragraphs.

Those are attractive people with heavily vetted idiosyncrasies. Every eccentric fashion choice has been run through a think tank of NYU undergrads that would blow your hair back

But their actual deal is cookie-cutter counterculture, like it came out of a street punk paint-by-numbers kit

I played the Capital City game and the first question was...

What is the capital of Vatican City?

Answers A: Vatican City B: Vatican City C: Vatican City D: Vatican City

I think you're missing the point.

Nowhere in the article does it mention that someone was driving the car. It's just an inanimate car with no driver. It absolves any responsibility to the human behind the wheel.

No less catchy. It's why there are media guidelines around reporting on collisions.

The infrastructure is often insufficient for existing homes nevermind for any expansion.

I've recently moved house but I'm having to stay registered to my Dentist & Doctors 30 miles away because the wait list to get registered in my new town is months.

Untitled story 3 years ago

Filmmakers know that critics are overwhelmingly left-leaning, and taking shots at conservatives will increase their chances of winning Academy Awards. This is called “Oscar baiting.” It results in narratives that reinforce liberal confirmation bias, and co-opts the theater as a place for division.

Haha what? This site is so dumb.

Other countries also have weather and they seem to cope ok with it. Obviously there are some extremes which can make it unpleasant but for the most part the weather isn't as big a deal as it's made out to be when it comes to cycling.

E-bikes mostly solve the effort and sweat aspect. But that introduces a larger entry cost.

I'd say distance is the biggest factor preventing it taking off in the US (Outside of Cities). A mixture of cycling + transit could solve the longer distances.

Can't really imagine a use case for this but looking through the code it looks a bit simplistic:

- Only checks for non-empty fields and not valid fields - What use is a progress bar if the progress is invalid? - Seems like it would only work with text inputs (No radio/check/select etc.)

Last.fm turns 20 4 years ago

You can import your Last.fm history over to ListenBrainz too. Most of the 'scrobbling' apps will work with ListenBrainz also.

If you crave physical activity so much there’s many other alternatives

This seems like such a typical American view on cycling. The main aim of regular cycling isn't about physical activity, it's about getting from A to B.

I had to use a bike (because I was broke)

And this too. Being able to afford to drive a car shouldn't be an aspiration and cycling isn't only for people who can't afford a car.

Neither of those cases need to be true for a second PR to be ready before the first has been merged.

For example you do your first PR, mark it ready for review. While doing it you notice there's some refactoring you could do to some tangentially related code. It's very conceivable that the second refactoring PR could be ready pretty quickly.

If you get the same size of each, do the prices come more inline?

Just had another look and while they don't sell a block that weighs the same as the pre-grated it is much closer in price for a similar sized block.

£9.00/kg for the pre-grated (250g) and £8.64/kg for the block (220g).

In the UK it's a lot cheaper for the blocks:

  - Tesco Extra Mature Grated Cheddar 250g
    - £ 2.25
    - £9.00/kg
  - Tesco Extra Mature Cheddar Cheese 220g
    - £ 1.90
    - £8.64/kg
  - Tesco Extra Mature Cheddar Cheese 400g
    - £ 2.85
    - £7.13/kg
  - Tesco Extra Mature Cheddar Cheese 700g
    - £ 3.50
    - £5.00/kg
edit: Added price for a 220g block of cheese

I was an admin on a forum for a sports management game (Championship Manager /Football Manager) for ~20 years and for us the 'death' came from Steam Community/Workshop, Reddit, Twitter, and Discord.

Visitor numbers always remained pretty high (People coming to the site to download resources etc.) but people were just less likely to contribute with posts as they had other places to use as a community instead.

Here's the number of posts for each yearly release of the game...

  - 2009: 110,000 posts
  - 2010: 273,000 posts
  - 2011: 280,000 posts
  - 2012: 188,000 posts
  - 2013: 196,000 posts
  - 2014: 180,000 posts
  - 2015: 159,000 posts
  - 2016:  96,000 posts
  - 2017:  50,000 posts
  - 2018:  32,000 posts
  - 2019:  21,000 posts
  - 2020:  24,000 posts

Great example of it when Mogwai perform 'Mogwai Fear Satan'. There's a point in the song where it gets extremely quiet before bursting into a wall of noise.

If you watch the video https://youtu.be/FEwnhjItTSs?t=477 from 7m57s you can see them all start to signal to each other to get ready and then 20 seconds later it happens.
