Amazon gave me a $100 credit to sign up for their credit card.

I got the card in the mail today and tried to set up auto-pay but it required creating a *different* account, and that process was buggy and locked me out of the account.

... So I called and cancelled the account.

If you want people to use your service, I dunno, make it ... work?

@iamdavidobrien None of the other browsers support switch inputs yet. But they will. It’s now part of HTML.

Also, because of how the HTML is designed, if you use `` on a webpage, it will just appear as a checkbox in browsers that don’t have support. Nothing will be broken. Fallbacks FTW!

Love how Safari just decided an SVG that's a grid item should just span every column unless it has an explicit width.

Why would an element in a grid stay inside its column? Silly. Just ridiculous.

The Rust community is so arrogant and holier-than-thou, more so than any language.

Your software being written in Rust doesn't immediately make it better. Your knowing Rust doesn't immediately make you better.

Saying this as someone who's shipped Rust code to 100,000+ devices.

"The public interest in a prompt resolution of this case favors an immediate, definitive decision by this Court. The charges here are of the utmost gravity. This case involves—for the first time in our Nation’s history—criminal charges against a former President based on his actions while in office. And not just any actions: alleged acts to perpetuate himself in power by frustrating the constitutionally prescribed process for certifying the lawful winner of an election."

• Quick ink drawing of Dan from the web comic "Drugs and Wires", which has been edited digitally. He is looking at the viewer to his left with a mixed expression of sadness and annoyance. He has the sides of his head shaved, the top slightly messy, styled towards the front. On the side of his head a tattoo of the Dreamspace logo is visible. He is wearing a black coat, of which only the collar is visible, popped up, covering his neck and some of his jaw. Behind him some colors in red, blue and purple are mixing into black and glitching. His face is slightly in shadows. (remote)

Web devs/content folks: is "above the fold" still an important consideration in web development?

news indicates that, during the COVID-19 emergency, the Cuomo administration reported only 50% of the deaths in NY nursing homes… underreporting by half? ugly, indeed.

if our agencies are operating on the basis of data which lies, then our public policies and procedures are doomed to fail and citizens are doomed to sicken and die… ppl did not need to do so. former Governor Cuomo has much to answer for.
