Read it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's an interesting fact that one could save many lives by donating to charities and yet wouldn't feel quite the same way about it. Clicking "donate" on a screen and filling in credit card details isn't as thrilling an experience as yours even if it achieves no less.
I'd much rather we spent that money eradicating hunger and curable diseases first.

The same issue occurs on https://super.so/, if you happen to have any affiliation with them.

Quoting the author: "Riding a bubble is dangerous. It can also be lucrative."
The whole citation [0]: "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission".

Should they have not posted this at all?

If you don't need to install stuff from npm and prefer to hack your own, here's a nice list of CSS patterns to get you started: https://leaverou.github.io/css3patterns/

Re:Show HN: Tailwind Button Playground on Friday January 03, 2020 @02:21PM (#21949331)
It does require a bit more setup and getting used to but once you're up to speed you'll be going like a madman.

I highly advise adding PurgeCSS to the build pipeline with Tailwind, it can reduce the output CSS from around 250kB to 15kB for a small website without removing stuff manually from the configuration. The setup is explained in the docs [0].

Re:Show HN: Tailwind Button Playground on Friday January 03, 2020 @02:12PM (#21949251)
You simply create your own component class and `@apply` tailwind classes to it.

See: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/extracting-components

Wouldn't it be possible to do: `["margin-4", "padding-3", ...(this.isActive ? ["color-red", "font-size-30", "font-weight-700"] : [])]`

Laptop manufacturers are starting to build in camera kill switches, see HP Spectre x360. Not sure how necessary it really is given you could just put a simple slide cover [1] on.

Isn't that a result of acquisition, not recruitment?
I find the "Be Right Back" episode to be more directly fitting here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back
Re:A website coding itself live on Sunday September 22, 2019 @07:33AM (#21040829)
The trick here I didn't know about is that a `<style>` element's default `display` is `none` and you can show its contents by changing that.

I know a bit of Japanese and it didn't strike me at all. Is it just the "baka"? :-)

Re:Japan Is Giving Away 8M Abandoned Houses on Friday December 07, 2018 @05:46PM (#18632411)
Found a better option actually: setting up business. Should be fairly straightforward to do for a single remote developer.
Re:WordPress 5.0: A Gutenberg FAQ on Friday December 07, 2018 @12:14PM (#18629410)
I believe that the static site generators of this day are the next step in custom web development. I'm currently working on a Gatsby.js project using Contentful as the content provider and it really feels like the stack of the future - build with all the shiny tools but send a fast, static website to the end user.

Wedding. Would like to know that, too.
Re:Using deep learning to detect malaria in images on Monday November 05, 2018 @04:30PM (#18386158)
This is the kind of thing I'm expecting to see more of coming from the ML field. Orgs fighting malaria should take these efforts into consideration, back them, develop ever more robust tools. Which might already be happening, I don't know.
Re:What's a CPU to do when it has nothing to do? on Thursday October 11, 2018 @05:34AM (#18192035)
I appreciate the article being written in a language a person without much CPU knowledge, like myself, can understand. Fascinating.
Re:The Japanese traffic light blues: Stop on red, go on what? on Tuesday October 09, 2018 @06:12AM (#18174619)
Apropos traffic lights, as a European driving in Japan I was amazed at the ability to go straight on a red light (with a green straight arrow).
Related question: where would you live with a remote job away from the big cities if you valued peace and the outdoors?
Infants aren't born with their circadian rhythms already calibrated, it seems to take time during which the parents are in for some sleepless nights. Not sure how long the actual accustomizing period should last though.

Exactly, especially if they get most of the weight material for free or even get paid to take it.

One is a religious congregation, one is not.
I, on the other hand, would like to point out the lack of accessibility of this approach, it's unusable with a keyboard. Let's not forget about assistive technologies.
