Re:Show HN: Visual Reference to CSS Selectors on Tuesday August 15, 2023 @09:27AM (#37133730)
Here are a couple quotes from https://developer.chrome.com/articles/css-nth-child-of-s/#pr... :

New in CSS Selectors Level 4 is the ability to optionally pass a selector list into :nth-child() and :nth-last-child().

For example, :nth-child(2 of .highlight) selects the second matching element that has the .highlight class. Put differently: out of all children with the class .highlight, select the second one.

Do you do anything to handle "hidden tracks" (i.e. the last track has some audio, then some silence, and then some more audio)?

Agreed. Here is a video titled "How a simple Django application works" that is 8 minutes long. It has 29 likes and 27 dislikes. It's a pretty poor quality video, in my opinion.

I think if that was ever said by a core member, it was stated as a goal, not a for sure thing. I believe I've only ever heard it as speculation / wishful thinking.

Can you elaborate on this?:

> I do all of my development remotely via ssh and local forwards

I do a little with SSH tunnels, but not much. Do you mean you have it set up so that on your Mac you can go to localhost:8080 (or whatever) in your browser and it will actually go to the remote machine?

I'm not the person you replied to, but I frequently use the play/pause key and also the volume keys. I occasionally use the function keys in my text editor too.

Re:Guitar – Git GUI Client on Wednesday April 22, 2020 @01:49PM (#22948240)
Yes, that's what I'm referring to.

You can see it in Fork's screenshot: https://git-fork.com/images/diffViewer.jpg

But if you look at Guitar's, you'll see the lack of word diffing, and that makes it take significantly longer to see exactly what changed: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/3c6c338ece93afda723cef575...

Re:Guitar – Git GUI Client on Wednesday April 22, 2020 @09:11AM (#22945149)
Based on one of the screenshots, it looks like Guitar doesn't support word diffing. Sourcetree lacks word diffing as well and has had an issue about it since 2012: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-888
Re:The new Microsoft Edge is out of preview on Thursday January 16, 2020 @12:07AM (#22061827)
A few issues I have run into with Edge:

1. The :focus-within CSS pseudo-class doesn't work

2. object-fit only works on images

3. These SVG loaders don't work: https://samherbert.net/svg-loaders/

> ahead of 20H1 when all consumers presumably will be pushed to it

I'm not sure it will be part of 20H1. https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/01/15/upgrading-new... says:

> If you’d prefer not to install Microsoft Edge manually, you can wait for it to be installed in a future update to Windows 10, following our measured roll-out approach over the next several months. We will start to migrate Windows 10 customers to the new Microsoft Edge in the coming weeks, starting with a subset of Windows Insiders in the Release Preview ring.

I'm guessing 20H1 will be released sooner than several months.

Re:Dropbox Transfer on Thursday December 26, 2019 @02:01PM (#21885877)
Firefox Send can be used without signing up. The limitations are 1 GB instead of 2.5 GB, a maximum of 1 download instead of 100 downloads, and a maximum of 1 day instead of 7 days. So it's still useful in certain circumstances.

Why not MiDrive Transfer? I haven't heard of it and don't know how reputable it is. And is it in beta? So it could be buggy?
