The owner of Twitter/X is about to be in the president’s cabinet. And the owner of Meta is clearly cozying up to the incoming administration with their new “anti-woke” policies.

I’d be interested to know how you ate glass without realizing it until it was too late.

If you like this sort of thing, I highly recommend checking out C. Allen’s work. The visuals and music are both really impressive, in my opinion the best out there: https://youtu.be/OP7sTQQ0Blw

I’ve had a lot of trouble with their support recently as well. A domain I was trying to renew just…wouldn’t. The ticket I opened went unanswered for nearly a month. What finally got them to look at it was posting on their forums with a ticket ID. Even still, they just quietly renewed the domain without a response or confirmation or anything so it’s technically still open…

I could be misremembering, but I think I remember Teslas having a feature that would apply slight torque to the motors when braking on hills to prevent the car from rolling backwards when switching from brakes to the accelerator.

I wonder if this was a malfunction of the system that detects the car being on a slope which caused it to accelerate forward despite the brake being pressed?

I think the snake oil claim is in regard to VPN companies marketing themselves as a security product. The security benefits that these companies claim in their ads are dubious but of course there’s other benefits to them, they just can’t advertise that they can be used for these things.

The problem is people who aren’t aware of this see these ads and think that they actually do prevent hackers from stealing their information.

I think they may be referring to if someone accidentally changes the ordering, either by inserting a new variant between two existing ones or by shuffling the order of the existing variants the value can change and cause problems.

1.1k isn't bad for a project with ~33 million weekly downloads[1], imo. Yes, I know that's not necessarily a good metric, but it's ~10 million more than React[2] which also has a similar number of open issues[3].

If this feature were added, I’d see very little need to use CSS preprocessors - at least for me. We already have variables, nesting, and color functions. Throw in mixins and user defined functions and that pretty much covers 90% of what I’d usually do in Sass.

Maybe you still use PostCSS for some auto prefixing/ backwards compat stuff but the need for that should go away as the usage numbers for unsupported browsers go down.
