I have never dealt with HR and came away happy or less stressed.

With all of the annoyances that Safari ios provides, I genuinely consider it the spiritual successor to IE.

Also thank you! I went with Mullvad and it has been good!

Re:My bank sent me 64 copies of the same debit card on Thursday March 11, 2021 @04:39PM (#26429327)
Shouldn't that be taken care of? I just mean I made terrible Flash Games once and learned that on the first week of the job. I actually still see this on payment gateways with banks. "IF SOMETHING DOESNT HAPPEN IN 60 SECS DON'T TRY AGAIN UNTIL YOU CHECK PAYMENT WAS NOT TAKEN".
Re:The Importance of Learning CSS on Thursday March 04, 2021 @05:43PM (#26349547)
I am totally feeling this!

Especially your last point. I want to do something with B, but I break A and C somehow. Or I change A to fix B but all of A breaks down. I google it, and there is a menu of choices. On week 3 the first one worked, on week 6 it all breaks down, so I go back to A and C, but it breaks A again.

I am really lazy with this.

I feel like no one knows CSS properly, whereas for my previous listed technologies, you can learn it without the "shotgun" approach.

I have always known I am missing something but never been able to put my hand on what that lightbulb is.

Edit! Also due to the "menu" effect, when I do put my trust in someone, it doesn't actually apply. Like an OOP programmer using global constants everywhere! So what I learned was actually incorrect, but now I am polluted by garbage...

I got into Javascript, the DOM, SVG, Canvas, WebGL but never CSS. I genuinely hate it with a passion. It is just one of those things that always annoy me and can't really explain why. I came from the Flash Runtime a long time ago where I used to easily control the display list. It might be that.
I had been letting reading slip this year, and went to see what Bill Gates was doing (his reading list has been reasonable).

So this comes at a perfect time for me. Thank you for sharing. I will certainly be going through your stem list.

Go "inconito". I think something I had filled the date to make me too young. It's ridiculous that entering drop down fields proves your age.

Ha this always made me laugh since 96.

- It doesn't work on Linux

- It doesn't work on Mac

I agree, I can't remember the last time windows crashed. My home PC is a 2014 low-budget build and I don't recall any blue screens of death or freezes.

I often wonder if people run Windows on a potato to account for all the crashes people seem to have.

Re:How to lower the price of plant-based meat on Saturday February 06, 2021 @02:51PM (#26049324)
Are there any commercial products and has anyone tried it? I do recall some video somewhere of a US restaurant and people said it was reasonable but that could have been plant based.
