I'm sorry, but this is a bullshit article.

Care to elaborate? Why do you think it's bullshit?

That was a hard to read font.


Change your browser settings. You can tell the browser what font you prefer to use, and set minimum font sizes. You can also turn off remote fonts, so that pages can only use fonts you already have. Then you can just uninstall any fonts you don’t like or that you cannot read easily.


Huh... Guess it's what you're used to.

First thing that struck me about the site is how beautiful I found it. I even inspected the font: Iosevka Web, apparently.


I'm surprised you say that. Iosevka is quite beloved as a monospace font. I use it for all my terminals, etc.


Prose in monospace is harder to read regardless of the specific font.


Correct, mIRC is just one of many clients for an IRC protocol.


I fed it a bunch of real images and it failed on all of them.


New World, an MMORPG game by Amazon Game Studios, have recently shut down their forums and migrated completely to Discord. It has been a complete disaster, including all the forum posts that show up in Google search are now just 404. Reporting bugs is a crap shoot into the void.


Presumably this is a feature, not a bug. The forum posts will age out of the search corpus, and negative feedback - evidence of low quality - will gradually disappear.


You're still mixing HTML and CSS with JS, which is way worse if you ask me.


My point being: If I ask you today, I'm very likely to get a difference answer compared to in 2-3 years, and if I wait yet again 2-3 years, another answer :)


Costco Companion App, available on iOS and Android stores if you search for it.

Idea is to improve and enhance your Costco warehouse shopping experience, mainly:

- Provide platform to enable shoppers to review and rate products and for others to find said reviews. Costco and Sameday doesn't provide reviews, so we try to fill the gap.

- Recently we started showing very special Costco warehouse deals in our app, there's a certain magic to Costco prices, e.g. if something ends in .97 it is extremely discounted but it's never advertised otherwise so we try to bring more of these special deals to our users.

- We have more features and want to bridge Costco communities together.

But... feel like, something is missing still?


A little bit too late to the market for a company of their size.


This has been known for years. Why are tabloid articles suddenly reposted here?


>This has been known for years.

I used to do this. Still have a strong tendency to, and have to resist it. Everyone's lived experience is different, and I'd wager there is a large percentage of people across the globe alive now who have never, and will never, have any clue about Frank Abagnale and his story.

And that's okay.


It being "common knowledge" that 90% of his backstory is fictional and he was actually a pretty low end forger that was frequently caught until he figured lying about the lies he told was a better grift hasn't stopped the tech industry from continuing to fawn all over him as if he's a knowledgeable and inspirational person

I'm just learning about it today from this post, which I found fascinating.

Same, and I can no longer recommend Signal to all my friends and family because SMS was the only feature that would make them consider it. Otherwise every one just uses WhatsApp.
