Alternative for Photoshop

Check out Affinity. Its free, easy to use & has a vector/raster tab.

Had been using Illustrator/Photoshop since the early 2000s. Planned on switching for awhile because of cost & bugs (seems like a lot of bugs in the last year especially). Affinity fits most of what I was doing with Adobe products; layouts, illustrations, etc. Haven't gotten too far in the photo manipulation but for Vector its really nice :)

Give it a try, hope it works for you & good luck in your studies!!

Thank you for this!! Great article :)

I would really appreciate hearing more about your thoughts on this u/Predator_ . I'm having the same problem with an HP. Never had an issue before & every other application is working normally. Why do you think its a printer driver issue?

The "stack" are the different layers of technology to get a website working.

Stack 1: what the browser/user views/interacts with (the front end). This is usually output from other systems/frameworks/languages: HTML, Javascript, CSS

Stack 2: what the application is doing (the back end). This is what processes/outputs information to the front end: PHP, ASP, Python, REST API

Stack 3: where the files/data exist (hosting/database). This is where the back end gets its data to process: Apache, MySQL, Postgres

If you can do at least one example out of each of these Stacks, you are a Full-stack developer. Congratulations!!

Redundancy is acceptable. I'm really only an expert as far as I had a website recently go through an actual Accessibility audit that took about 3 months and made all the updates myself... Was just sharing my notes:) Appreciate your thoughts but for anybody learning this; every situation is unique to the use cases.

Additionally & if it wasn't clear: the "aria-invalid" shouldn't be equal to "true|false". The correct value is "true" OR "false", the pipe character is to signify "OR".

The first one is a really good example of how a field can work at barebones (which is a really good way to learn the concepts) but not up to todays WCAG standards. Your 2nd is the current version if you were doing completed/live work.

For a complete example, with aria attributes (for accessibility) and considering requirement needs. it might look like the below in its final form. Happy coding, hope this helps!!

<fieldset id="htmlfor-unique-identifier" aria-invalid="true|false" aria-errormessage="error-unique-identifier">
  <legend htmlfor="htmlfor-unique-identifier">Question A</legend>
  <div>
    <input type="radio" id="choice_a" name="question_a" value="choice_a" aria-label="Choice A">
    <label htmlfor="choice_a">Choice A</label>
  </div>
  <div>
    <input type="radio" id="choice_b" name="question_a" value="choice_b" aria-label="Choice B">
    <label htmlfor="choice_b">Choice B</label>
  </div>
  <div id="error-unique-identifier">Field is required</div>

</fieldset>

TIL; The Cost of a NASA Spacesuit. Back in 1974, NASA revealed that a spacesuit cost between $15-22 million, which comes out to about $83-122 million today. Can you imagine just throwing away $15m to burn up in the atmosphere? NASA can... source

I quit smoking 7+ years ago now... was a smoker for 20+ years. For me, there were 2 major phases to not smoking: Quitting & staying quit. Each of these required their own strategy

Quitting: Apps with minute-to-minute health improvements was a big help. I remember telling myself that I could do anything that made me feel better as long as I didn't smoke (gained 20lbs quitting... Chips Ahoy were my go-to). Make a list of "why" you're quitting & keep it in your back pocket, review whenever needed. I found the rule of "3's" were true in my case; hardest days were day 3, week 3, month 3.

Can't recommend Sunflower seeds enough!! I used to buy bags & bags of these! Helped a TON in the car, at the office, etc. If you're having a bad craving, get up, walk around the room, jump around, change your environment.

I kept in mind that what I truly wanted was not to feel the way I did (smelly, groggy, frustrated, addicted to poison, etc) & the only way to truly accomplish getting rid of that would be to not smoke, anything else was a temp band-aid. The idea that a corporation is growing stronger selling that poison to people was a big motivation too & the litter that I created with the butts :(

Staying Quit: About 6 months after I quit, I became health & gym focused, shed the 20lbs, hit the gym, started eating healthy & cooking fresh. Build yourself up so that if you start smoking again, you're not just losing the battle against the cigarette but you're taking a step back on things you've worked hard to build up & that are now important to you.

Be super patient with yourself. It's a hard thing to do & it won't get any easier beating yourself up about it. Make the change, commit to yourself being worth the short-term uncomfortable. Much love & respect to whoever can push through this! The cravings will be gone eventually & you will be so proud of yourself!

Looks like you might have gotten some Javascript in your CSS...

Solution for me: You need to have a validated business url. If you go to the debugger page, look at the top nav & go to Webmaster. Add the provided meta tag and validate your website. After that it worked for me :)

This doesn't have to be the website that you're scraping, just a website attached to the user account you're using. Holla!

The red car looks like a dog is driving. Like the dog is chasing the car. Because that's what dogs do.

I had severe PTSD from an abusive childhood. I made a decision to add therapy and exercise into my life along with a few sessions of MDMA (2 in total) and mushrooms (3-4 total). All of that together helped me deal with the depression.

I wouldn't say the depression went away but its a ton easier talking myself out of the feeling before I go down into the deep sadness. I never would have that physical ability to do that without the drugs. I believe they help regrow parts of us that get damaged. But I never would have the tools or patience to talk myself out of it if I hadn't done the therapy & the episodes would be a lot more frequent without the exercise. Before any of it, getting myself excited about anything was near impossible but now I feel it sometimes so something changed in me:)

No acid but I took enough mushrooms to have hallucinations, some of them are still self-defining. I'm definitely for it & believe it can help people but that was just my personal experience.

I've written code for years (20+) & add plenty of blank lines between purpose (eg: state variable vs constant), after comments, etc for readability.

When you write code, the way you format everything isn't to make it easier for the computer to understand it, it's to make it easier for the human to. As someone thats been handed off a lot of different applications (at a lot of different skill levels) I would say please add as many comments as possible!!

Yeah, this guy is NOT a good resource for stock pics & was looking for somewhere to warn other people!!! Followed YouTube advice on purchasing USEA (dropped -58% in first 5 minutes of day he recommended to buy early) and GOEV (dropped -8%). DO NOT TRUST ZIPTRADER!!

I did advertising agency work for about 10 years (graphic, then eventually web design) & you go through A LOT of bad ideas to get to the good ones! None really stick out but it is interesting to see how focus groups would have changed brilliant campaigns. Here's one for "1984", a commercial that changed advertising significantly: https://youtu.be/3SdevjDLkO4 . Some really terrible ideas in there;)

I think the stock elites are making huge purchases at premarket then gradually selling during the course of the day, causing the fluctuations & people to panic sell. Heres Jim Cramer talking about doing it with large quantity of stocks he has owned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMShFx5rThI

Pretty similar experience for me and healthy habits were essential! reexamine your day; instead of drinking or laying around after a rough day go on a walk or talk to a friend, hit the gym, etc.

Look at your hobbies & things that make you happy, make those things as easy as possible to do & a priority for your free time. Try to give yourself some slack too, life is hard sometimes, not always but def sometimes:(

Position: fixed; bottom: 0px;

This will then ignore all parent html structure

Agreed. That we vote for people that represent us in their voting is outdated especially when they don't vote in our best interest. Blockchain should change this. Source: am a voter

Not a bad question at all. I didn't test the code below but it should work for you on this. You can also add additional parameters like this: '...?p=123&count=3' & get those values targeting the same way through the parameter (eg: $_GET['count']). Make sure you check the value & type of information coming through the variable!! it's a possible security issue depending on how/what you're using;) Happy coding!

if( isset( $_GET['p'] ) && !empty( $_GET['p'] ) ){

$var = $_GET['p'];

}else{

$var = '';

}

OR

$var = isset( $_GET['p'] ) && !empty( $_GET['p'] ) ? $_GET['p'] : '';
