They're random from the entire set. There's only about 90 posts at the time of writing. I did disable a few... somebody was very keen to express their love for genitalia lol
What device do you have?
The animations are kind of resource intensive. There are some performance optimisations if the frame rate drops but perhaps it needs to go further
That's a great idea. If it gets no traction, I'll be in touch. If it does, I might still ask you for some help...
If we had access to the same question being asked at different times through history, I bet the answers wouldn't be so different.

Answer the question "Before I die, I want to..." and post it to the wall.I built this as part of a journaling app I’m working on as a side project.
Personally I find life goals fascinating - they're the things we think will make us feel the happiest and the most fulfilled, yet often people think they won't achieve them.I have tried to make it feel atmospheric with the goal of making you stop...
There should definitely be a standard API for this stuff by now allowing browsers to control the cookie experience. Maybe we're moving in that direction, I'm not sure. I think there was a feeling the law would be rolled back so there was no major push to standardise things

Third day in a row this has affected my productivity
Are you in the UK by any chance? Sounds just like my old commute before I started working from home, and my partner’s current one
I just received two emails from
[email protected] claiming to be from MetaMask, asking me to complete KYC verification.
My first thought was “I guess MetaMask are trying to monetise”. Took me a minute to realise it wasn’t legit
When inflation hit 10% in the UK last month my employer brought forward the annual January pay increase. We all got a 5% bump. Last year it was 1%.
Edit: I work in the education sector. Our dev team has 4 people in a company of ~250. It’s not really “tech”

This sounds a lot like how I work too. If I have to open a bunch of tabs it’s usually temporary and I’ll want to get rid of them again at the earliest opportunity.
Very interested to know if there are any plans to support React Native? I’ve been struggling to find a good library that doesn’t require a web view.
Slightly off-topic, but can anyone tell me how you’d know that your database has been accessed by a threat actor? Should I be periodically reviewing all my logs for something unusual?
I fell for this too. I wanted InDesign for 1 month to make a decent looking CV when switching jobs. I felt really stupid when I tried to cancel and realised I’d be charged the remaining balance. Adobe lost me as a returning customer.
The BEM naming convention for css works matches this concept quite well
I keep hoping they’ll use this for teams. The mobile app is so much more performant (not sure if that’s react native?) and RN for desktop works well but needs more features
One of the best purchases I ever made was about 8 years ago when I bought the Polytune iOS app for less than £5. It does one thing really well, has never tried to take more of my attention than it should with upgrades or ads, and every time I get a new phone it comes with me.
I would love it if they enabled this on pull requests. Having the file tree and the ability to jump around files and methods would be really useful
What tech do you use to do this?
It’s like a classic old style type but if the press was low on ink. It weirdly gives me a very honest vibe as it reminds me of cheaply printed books.
I think they’ll remove the chin eventually, but probably need a new (thinner) screen technology first

I convinced my manager to let us move one of our internal tools over to Digital Ocean two weeks ago. Since then we've lost access to our account and I have egg on my face. Can anyone offer any advice?-----We signed up to Digital Ocean using our Github account.A few days later we upgraded our Github account to the Team plan, and now we can no longer sign in to Digital Ocean via OAuth (the...
Any clarification of “certain countries”?
I've sent you an email to your predict salary address. Thank you :)
Feel bad for asking here, but does anybody have an invite code they wouldn’t mind giving me?
I keep hearing good things about the conversations that are happening, but I’ve been on the wait list for months, and I’m not in the clique
