People don’t like to admit that we are ants. We are valuable and important. Each one of us is unique and deserves a full, good, life. But we are also ants. We are susceptible to group think, mob behavior, and we tend to follow the scent trail most of the time. It’s not a bad thing. It’s tied to our evolutionary desire to be a part of a community; to fit in and blend in.

But it also means individuals are likely to do what keeps them alive. We are likely all bad in some way or another.

But as long as you aren’t, actively, willfully, or gleefully harming people, you’re probably ok.

Well I’m guessing they actually did testing on local AI using a 4GB and 8GB RAM laptop and realized it would be an awful user experience. It’s just too slow.

I wish they rolled it in as an option though.

Why didn’t you like Hashicorps Vault? I want to know for my own edification.

I hope so. I don’t want to manage two different address spaces in my head. I prefer if one standard is just the standard.

Obviously don’t pet service dogs. Just to be clear. This photo was intentionally photoshopped to make it appear as though the airport was saying “Travel Advisory: when traveling don’t pet dogs”. As in, when in the UK never touch a dog. I thought it was funny/cutesy. I didn’t intend on sparking a big debate about the ethics of petting dogs or the rules about service dogs.

Don’t touch service dogs.

Pet dogs if you know them or are introduced to them.

Basic dog rules people. Teach your children

Display and layout rules aren’t difficult at all. Maybe I’m just not experienced enough. I’ve been a web dev for nearly a decade now and I feel like I’ve got the hang of it. That being said, I don’t work on projects that have to work on everything from a Nokia to an ultra wide monitor. We shoot for a few common sizes and hope it clears between edge cases nicely. What is an example of something that wraps randomly?

Genuinely, though, CSS is fairly clear cut about the rules of positioning and space. Relative positioning is one of the most important concepts to master since it allows things to flow via the HTML structure and not extra CSS. Fixed positioning is as if you had no relative container other than the window itself. Absolute positioning is a little weird, but it’s just like fixed positioning except within the nearest parent with relative positioning.

Everything else is incredibly straight forward. Padding adds space within a container. Margins add space outside a container. Color changes text color. Background-color changes the background color of an element.

Top, left, right, and bottom dictate where the element should be positioned after the default rules are applied. So if you have a relative div inside a parent which is half way down the page, top/right/left/bottom would move the element relative to it’s position within the parent. If you made the div fixed, it would be moved relative to the window.

Lastly, if you’re designing a webpage just think in boxes or rows and columns. HTML can define 75% of the webpage structure. Then with just a bit of CSS you can organize the content into rows/columns. That’s pretty much it. Most web pages boil down to simple boxes within boxes. It just requires reading and understanding but most people don’t want to do that to use CSS since it feels like it should just “know”.

As someone who has built QT, Swing, and JavaFx applications, I way prefer the separation of concerns that is afforded us via HTML JS and CSS.

For me it’s a pattern of “Ctrl+t” to open a new tab and then I search “my interesting query”. After that, I use “shift+tab” or “Ctrl+shift+tab” to navigate between tabs. Rinse and repeat until I get tired.

I don’t like searching in my current tab because I don’t want to lose the info I have.

Why are the clouds inverted? The cloud shape is black and the moon is visible inside it, but it seems super clear that the purple part has too many sharp edges to be a cloud? Therefore the black shape is a cloud? It’s just weird looking. Also the garbage men seem ancillary.

Weird artistic choices.

Dyslexia is broader than you’re thinking. Struggling to spell, read, or write can all be signs of dyslexia: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dyslexia/symptoms-causes/syc-20353552

Scroll down to school age/teen symptoms for such examples.

I didn’t until apps started breaking. The snap version of steam, Firefox, and Unity (I think?) all started to have issues. When I googled around people would often ask “deb or snap”? I uninstalled the snap packages and installed the deb packages and most of my issues went away.

I ultimately switched to Linux Mint because I kept having stability issues and I was just desperate for a solution. But snap was not a great experience for me.

/s for stroke?

We’ll never know.

I hate the B-side. Alice 4 fingers - Finger guns.

I thought “Patches” was ok though.

I am chronically online. I don’t feel like I have the skills to make new friends as a 30 year old who is on track to have a child this year.

I never want to socialize. I don’t like being around people. I can’t tell if I’m normal or not. I am a social guy - when I’m in the office or at family events. But it’s the opposite of my idea of a good time. It’s just stressful and tiring.

My #1 fantasy is that the world is empty and devoid of people. While I’m sure I’d get lonely, I feel like I’d manage.

I also hate “being perceived”. Not a big fan of being seen. It just stresses me out to know other people are aware of my existence. I think I assume people are judging me and it makes me self conscious. So it’s easier to be alone.
