Long-time Mac user and as a result long-time Mac keyboard user. Loved the low-profile desktop and laptop keyboards.

Didn't realize until I gave a mechanical board a chance (felt super weird hitting full-height keys!) but I was making a ton of typos and going slower on the Mac boards.

Now that I've gotten used to my mechanical keyboard I feel more confident in my touch typing and my speed has gone up considerably.

I did install dampener rings, though, because I didn't like how loud things were and how the keys felt.

> ...it should be the first line of code...I don't what to force anyone to use box-sizing: border-box.

I'm not clear on what you're saying. It sounds like you're saying today it's absolutely something you should use but you don't want to force it?

"It sounds like you're saying today it's absolutely something you should use but you don't want to force it?"

Yes, correct.

Let me explain.. that is the most important decision you make when you plan your CSS layout. But is your decision to make. You can absolutely add this in the reset. Feel free to add stuff in the reset.

I feel the same about concessions. I realize it might all be calculated to the penny for peak income but I would be more keen to regularly buy concessions if I wasn't paying close to $20 for a soda and a popcorn. I would think dropping the cost a bit might increase the number of folks buying. (The margins on it all are what really piss me off.)

I also wish it wasn't essentially a flat price for everything. A small, medium or large anything is generally just fifty cents to a dollar away from any other size. I want a small soda and popcorn I get pressed to size-up for that extra few cents to get a gallon/barrel of each.

"The margins on it all are what really piss me off."

Not that it's your problem as a consumer, but factor in that your ticket price pretty much all goes to the studio. (correct?) And getting $8.50 for the large which costs $0.14 better than getting $8.00 for small which costs $0.12

Looks like the author is taking a stab at working with Go and wanted to build something to fill a need.

I would absolutely recommend Logwatch or, if you're fancy, Filebeat and Logstash.

actionscripted, you are a wizard! How did you guess that? :D

I think it's less about fear of innovation and more about other constraints like space and readability.

A comma in most condensed sans serif collections like those used for nutrition labels (Helvetica, Univers, et al.) takes up less space and is more readable than a bullet or other glyph.

Here's a quick example using Roboto Condensed and the ingredients for Fruit Loops. The bullets are longer or harder to read. (Using Roboto Condensed because it's free so others can test with it and it's comparable to Helvetica/Univers).

As I understand it you generally have 5 years for hardware and software support with software requiring that you upgrade to major versions as they're released for continued updates. Perhaps someone can share a link or provide better details for software support/EOL info?

Here's their vintage/obsolete products info page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624

As an ordinary consumer using my phone, how would I know when it's going to become unmaintained and I'll need to buy a new phone (if I want to continue having security maintenance)?

This is one thing I think Linux distros could do better: not just advertising upgrades to the next release, but warning when the current release is (soon to be) no longer maintained.

This is awesome. Not everything built needs to be held to best practices and these sorts of projects are what make the web exciting!

I know I'm on HN but everyone responding is taking a tone like the creator said, "this is the best way to do it and everyone should use this in production" while on the page it only says they built it because they could -- because CSS has evolved to support it.

I was trying to figure a few of these out myself as I was reading the article...

Dropping low-margin products/services could mean companies stop making small websites or apps for local companies. Keeping organized could mean making sure AWS assets are tagged and tracked or that all code is version-controlled with proper branches and deployments. Knowing the numbers could mean being able to say at any given point in time how your revenue stacks up against your costs (again maybe with AWS). Keeping things clean could mean consistent file organization, tidy personal machines or servers without stray SSH keys or software.

I definitely feel like whenever I watch shows like The Profit or Restaurant Impossible I learn the same lessons: personal issues manifest and destroy, keep an eye on margins, don't be afraid to manage, keep things tidy.

> ...inmates are coerced by their appointed attorney (who is swamped) to waive their right for a speedy trial.

Oftentimes in the US it is less about a busy defense attourney and more about the prosecution offering a plea deal to skip trial. I can't say with any certainty why this is done but I believe it's due to overcrowding in courts and jails.

Many attourneys will suggest the defendant accept the plea deal because it's a sure thing. It's a lighter sentence than if the defendant went to court and when a case goes to court -- especially a jury trial -- it is impossible to say how it will turn out and it could end up far worse for the defendant when compared to the plea deal.

It's also about the DA padding her own stats. Charge the defendant with every felony that even closely fits the alleged crime, then allow them to plea down to a misdemeanor. DA gets a conviction, court docket is smaller, and the alleged criminal "gets off easy".

It's also possible for a plea to involve conditions beyond punishment, such as a requirement to testify against another defendant.

For 1PW it might be ideal to push updates and not charge for them. As a security/tool provider out of date software could be compromised or have issues which might damage their public image.
