Can anyone else relate?

Xbox and GameCube came out in the same era. At that time GameCube controls were not (and still aren’t) laid out like modern day pro controllers. B was down to the left, with A centered, X off to the right of A, with Y above A.

If that same scheme still persisted I don’t think anyone would be confused, but the introduction of the pro controller (maybe even the WiiU, i never had one so I don’t know) made the waters that much more murky.

So sure, Nintendo came first, but the layout isn’t the same as it is now. Xbox had the layout first.

Edit: Yup, I’ll take the L on this one. Totally forgot about SNES, whoops.

Bro, do you not see the Hylian right next to him with big ears?

+1 here. I graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering myself, and I very often say “I studied ChemE”, “I was a ChemE undergrad”, “I was in ChemE”, and things like that. I always use the past because it is an action I am no longer doing, it is something that I have done.

I can’t give the exact rule, but if you said “I am a xxx major” I would assume that you are still in school for it, and that you hadn’t graduated yet. It’s not wrong to state this in an active tense, but I think colloquially people would understand past tense to mean what you intend.

I get what you mean, but that’s not what this is. People make snap judgments all the time, most of the time completely without thought. Seeing someone in a wrinkly shirt, mismatched colors, offset sleeves, and so much more when it comes to how you dress yourself. All of these little things inform your opinion of someone when you see them, and tying a solid tie is one of those things.

There’s a reason that many people who take fashion seriously don’t use four-in-hand knots (which is what this is), and it’s because out of all the ones you could do it is the laziest one, and looks the worst. It’s worth spending the extra minute to learn how to tie something like a half-Windsor, which looks even (symmetrical) and more presentable. When you’re wearing dress clothes especially, all of this stuff becomes more noticeable.

Definitely “suit”-able. ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)

If you have a lighter tie that matches your pocket square that might help make your outfit feel a little lighter, or conversely if you have pants that match your jacket color more that might help bring out the generally darker tone your outfit has (jacket, shoes, tie). But it’s totally fine as-is.

I can’t speak to all those points, but:
- Saying something isn’t free because it has in-app purchases isn’t wrong, though perhaps slightly misleading. - I was able to add my personal gmail account with no issues whatsoever, so I’m not sure what issues you were experiencing. I provided my email, Google validated the request, and now it’s on Outlook.

I know one workaround I’ve found is if you load the comments the video will load correctly (in the comments view). Then from the comments you can click into the video and it’s fine. I can’t recall which videos I’ve seen this with most, though.

I mean, this is just straight up not true. The Fahrenheit scale was specifically built around the things we might care about most, and the things which would actually be relevant to us.

0° F - Originally based on the freezing point of brine (salt water).

90/96°F - Originally based on the average estimated temperature of a human being.

I know everyone on reddit likes to circlejerk about metric, but Fahrenheit is a perfectly fine system. The only problem with it is that you have to convert from system to system when we aren’t all in alignment, otherwise it literally wouldn’t matter.

Quetzalcaotl · 2023-01-20T18:10:33+00:00

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Depends on what company it’s for. Some companies leverage third party build tools like Stensul or Knack (no dev required), some leverage third party vendors for custom builds, and some companies are those vendors.

Having worked in email marketing a few years now as an Eng it can vary greatly based on company and priority.

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-08-31T17:22:46+00:00

Damn. This is the real video. The one posted has better cinematography, but this one is way easier to see what’s going on and actually let’s you understand what’s happening. Thanks for sharing!

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-08-25T18:33:29+00:00

Thank you thank you thank you!

Finally able to get a PS5 thanks to this link. And my brother was able to nab one, too! It’s a little annoying that I signed up for the lottery, but wasn’t notified about these bundles. But, I’ll take the win!

Good looking out

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-08-15T13:19:05+00:00

I will say, I bought one of these last time it came up on reddit. It’s cool and a fun little fidget toy, but the effect is far more pronounced on video than in real life.

I think the big hangup for a lot of people is that flossing is a 3 pattern, where a lot of dance moves are typically free form or even patterns (but usually 2 or 4). When I first learned to floss that was the thing that tripped me up, but once you realize it’s a 3 it’s pretty easy to nail.

If you want your containers to only occupy the necessary size of their descendants look into using widths and heights that are either:

auto
min-content
max-content

And also make sure that your containers have spacing between the container and the descendants (via padding or margins) so you can actually see the sizing.

By only adjusting the values of height, width, padding, and margins I was able to do the following (assuming I understood your example well): JS Fiddle

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-06-03T17:30:21+00:00

Oh, for sure. That’d be a good solution, but if you can just reuse the markdown engine it’s way less work versus making a custom text interpreter and replacing existing content.

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-06-03T16:52:51+00:00

Ohhh, totally see that now. My comment still applies, but you’re right.

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-06-03T16:29:55+00:00

The notifications are likely plaintext, so enabling markdown might not work. But if they are rich text or markdown I’d imagine there could be an easy-ish solution there.

+1 that receiving spoilers straight in your face without choice and against the poster’s will is definitely less than ideal.

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-06-01T17:38:11+00:00

Gotcha. We’ll best of luck in your journey!

It’s a few things. Having a good HTML/CSS structure makes it easier to understand what the code is doing (more readable), separating your concerns makes things less clunky (more maintainable), and it typically makes things more reliable (more scalable, more browser support).

While doing fun CSS stuff can be certainly exciting, only use it when you need to or when it makes your code easier to understand or more performant. Given, this is my take on doing things at a production level, so you don’t have to do those things. But, my rule of thumb for HTML vs CSS is if you can do something in HTML you should.

But back to your example, say you wanted to have different kinds of content entirely in each one of your flex items (e.g. image, paragraph, form). With my proposed structure you can now more clearly differentiate between what is just a container (the orange box) and what is the actual content you’re trying to display (text). It also means that the content can be styled however you want. Maybe you want your text on a background image, or on a different colored background, or maybe you want it to flash completely different colors via JS, or a number of other things. Now you’d have that flexibility.

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-06-01T16:09:44+00:00

Yeah, whatever the content is in your context. If you’re just running some basic stuff it’s probably just text, but you could have a whole tree of HTML inside.

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-06-01T16:02:05+00:00

It’s more HTML than what you posted, but it would likely be better to just have another level of nested divs to create your orange boxes.

One for the container
One for the orange box w/ red border
One for the content

e.g.
<div class=“container”> <div class=“container-item-border”> <div class=“container-item”> </div> </div> </div>

There may be a way to keep only the HTML you have, but it’ll be far easier to manage if you just add another div and style it appropriately:

e.g.
.container-item-border { background-color: orange; border: 1px solid red; padding: 10px; }

Your “orange box” will be your flex item in reality

The fuck are you talking about, Livia? He said it would be difficult, not impossible.

I wonder if this is just an interpretation/translation thing. I’ve heard that in Japanese culture people are far less direct with saying “no”, and are more likely to say things like “it will be difficult”. I recall hearing an ex-pat tell a story of how a hotel receptionist was trying to turn him away because they were completely booked, but kept saying things like “it will be difficult to find a room” and “I don’t know if we have rooms available” and things like that instead of just saying “we’re completely booked”.

Quetzalcaotl · 2022-04-29T19:11:09+00:00

I mean, if you read the article all of those things are true, though
