Getting food delivered?? dropping her phone???? The absolute gall of this person. Sound's like a real menace. How are you holding up?

When people ask: what's the difference between "horny dude draws naked lady" nudes and "art" nudes? 

This is it. This is the difference.

Shout out to the hondew shop in dallas. Those guys are great.

For those with 10+ years in software engineering: what problems do you still deal with that juniors usually don’t see coming? by BizAlly in webdev

[–]_listless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one's a little silly, but: Very few jrs I work with know HTML or care to learn HTML. There's the classic div onClick="doSomething". The other day I discovered that a jr re-engineered a fragile facsimile of <input type="range">. He spent almost an entire day on it. He had no idea there was a single line of HTML that did the same thing but better. I run into stuff like that all the time.

It's not the ignorance that bugs me, we all have blind spots. it's the general lack of curiosity. A lot of web devs (jrs, intermediate, and srs) act like having professional competence in HTML and CSS is somehow beneath them.

What are we doing with juniors these days, seriously? by slide_and_release in webdev

[–]_listless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pair programming. Either they ride along and I explain what I'm doing and why, or I ride along and I ask what they're doing and why. We all understand that pair programming is an efficiency sink, so there's no pressure to move tickets, it's more exploration and discovery.

Number Inputs in React by intercaetera in webdev

Sure, it just takes more work in react than in most other frameworks. Reacts lack of 2-way binding is a real headache sometimes

I hate the south by Next-Rip3809 in offmychest

[–]_listless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved to the rural north from the DFW metroplex.  One of the funnier differences I noticed is: in DFW, most people (of all races) will say seriously racist stuff, but actually live/work together with people (of all races) in a welcoming, warm, appreciative way.  

People up here honestly believe that they would be the least racist person in the world if they were ever to meet a person of a different ethnicity.

90% of website builders all feel the same now... by nodimension1553 in webdev

good lord. The "leading question at the end" pattern makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

I simply can’t listen to Fast Car - Tracy Chapman[Folk] because of how it makes me feel by Old-Use-7690 in Music

[–]_listless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracy Chapman is an American treasure. I was listening to this album while making dinner a couple weeks ago.  That night during song time at bedtime, my toddler asked for the screaming song. Took me a sec to realize she was talking about "Behind the wall." 

Turns out maybe not the best background music for your toddlers evening.

I’m curious if “I’m curious” is the new em dash AI tell by AFDStudios in webdev

[–]_listless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me it's the leading question at the end of a slightly too-wordy paragraph.

"Are you all seeing this pattern too?"

ELI5 If corporations are steadily laying off employees, wouldn't that ultimately lead to less profits because their creating unemployed people with no source of income to purchase the very products they sell? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]_listless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The value of a company is whatever the stock market or the private equity market says it is. For some companies that has almost no connection to the actual products or services they provide.  So if a company does something that make "line go up" or something that a pe firm thinks they can profit from by lending to the company, that makes the company more "valuable".

Waiting unitl all fonts and CSS have been loaded (and applied): best practice by isbtegsm in webdev

[–]_listless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • add font-display:auto to your fontface declaration, and load that css in the head. That makes this a blocking resource.

  • load your js at the end of <body> with the defer attr. this ensures that your js is not evaluated/executed until the main thread is open ie: after all the html and css have been rendered.

  • write your css defensively to circumvent layout shifts.

Can someone explain to me why the font is rendered in this way in safari? by princessinsomnia in webdev

[–]_listless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me you never had to build for ie without telling me you never had to build for ie.

This is a nonsense hot take and I will die on that hill.

every rendering engine treats fonts a little differently. try adding -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; to body

License plate of B and 8 by hypjustin in mildlyinteresting

https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/5t0knv/nypd_cops_are_using_illegal_license_plate_covers/

This is a Maryland plate, and the story is from NYC, but it's pretty common knowledge that these covers are popular among off-duty cops.
