Another technique to mess up keyboard users: don’t use the document scroll area, but make your own (and don’t focus it or anything in JavaScript). Thus the user will have to press Tab or click in the area before keyboard navigation keys will work. So for best results put a large number of focusable elements before the scrollable pane, so that the keyboard user must press Tab a large and unpredictable number of times before it works.

It’ll be something like this:

<body>
<div tabindex=0></div>
<div tabindex=0></div>
<div tabindex=0></div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;right:0;bottom:0;overflow:auto">
…
</div>
</body>

You could probably mess with other tabindexes (randomly jump through the document with Tab!) without Lighthouse baulking.

I was going to suggest adding `pointer-events: none` so that the user can’t just click to focus it, but that was already done!

(I mentioned focusing your scroll area element as something you need to do if you roll your own rather than using the document scroll area; but that’s not all you need to do. You also need to monitor blur events and change any .blur() calls, so as to avoid the document element ever retaining focus. It inherently depends on JavaScript, and is very fiddly to get fully right—I’m actually not sure if anyone gets it fully right; the interactions of focus and selection are nuanced and inconsistent, and it’s extremely easy to mess up accessibility software; I haven’t finished my research on the topic. I strongly recommend against the technique on web pages; web apps can occasionally warrant it.)

This is exactly what the protestors are saying about the police treatment of black people.
I'm not an expert and will need to double check, but I believe an S-corp is more complex, and since it's just me it's not really any better. And from the tax side as an LLC you can elect to be taxed as an S-corp so no benefit there.
> I have family members saying “All lives matter.”

Oh come on, at this point you have to be living under a rock to think that "Black lives matter" means other lives don't matter. At this point, that is just not excusable and the folks who say 'All lives matter' are unbelievably insensitive in saying so, and they are very much a part of the problem.

And we have a president with a penchant for dogwhistling thanks in part to folks like those from rural Iowa, so we really shouldn't cut them any slack (that's no knock on you/your family personally, I'm just sayin').
Hard agree. I'd also argue that any meaningful antitrust action we may eventually impose on big tech companies should force this.

If the one thing so far that's led the feds to threaten this is that they wanted to build a modern protocol for cross-service messaging, then there's no sane reason we couldn't have asked for that exact thing as a spec.

SPAs are the best we can do for... applications. Online spreadsheet? SPA. Document editor? SPA. Image editor? SPA. Visual programming environment? SPA. IDE? SPA. Facebook makes sense as an SPA too - it's basically a rich widget "dashboard" app with some content creation applications inside of it. Building applications for the web is still not the greatest experience because you're fundamentally building an application over hacks built to expand an abstraction built for hypertext content (the DOM). But, honestly modern JavaScript frameworks, TypeScript, and transpiled environments like Elm all do an admirable job working with what they have.

On the flip side, SPAs are terrible for hypertext content, because existing web technology was literally built for that. Why should a blog be an application? The content creation side, sure, maybe, but viewing a blog? That's literally what HTML was made for. A table of contents full of links like the HN or Reddit homepage? That's pretty much hypertext 101.
Check out the history of Wind Waker's barrier skip as well. I believe it saves 30 minutes of a 3.5 hour run.

Interesting. Years ago there was an emulator that would do a similar thing for arcade games. I remember it working on Pac-Man. edit: It looks like it was only for Pac-Man and very different than this: http://pacifi3d.retrogames.com/pacifi3d/

Depends on what the right thing is in your specific context. If you drop from 100% to 98% but increase your conversion rate 5x, the trade off should be obvious.

From my experience anything 95% or better is basically perfect. Although stuff like "time to first byte" might impact the number of pages crawled when you have millions of pages etc. There will always be edge cases.

The article makes a funny point, but I'm not sure it is a practical one. Who would honestly go through those steps? Maybe someone copy-pasting or installing templates could make a few of those errors?

Overall the score is helpful and the specific errors detected are always visible in the breakdown below the score. As with anything if you don't understand the underlying technology, tooling and metrics can be troublesome. In those cases, a simple score is still better than giving a novice developer a complex breakdown.

First of all, this is an excellent explanation of 5G that anyone moderately technical can understand. Great article.

That said, do the numbers from the article concern anyone else at all? I'm generally all for progress, but more than 1 million devices per km2? And massive MIMO antenna arrays spraying EM waves in every part of the spectrum from 600 MHz to 50 GHz?

More than a million devices per km2 ~= 3 million devices per square mile. Am I the only one that thinks that's a bit crazy? I don't want everything from my toaster to my door to my water bottle to be transmitting massive amounts of information to who knows where all the time.

More concerning: the antennas. Current regular MIMO 4G towers are 2x2 or 4x4. Already, there are 5G towers installed today that are 128x128. These are planned to be spaced -extremely- densely in cities, and very close to people (on every floor of offices, on lampposts, etc.) This is a necessity due to the spectrum used. And not only that, but they're using new spectrum that hasn't been used before - instead of the MHz to low GHz range we all know and trust, 5G towers will be up to near 50 GHz (!). Especially the fact that millimeter wave/extremely high frequency is normally blocked by everything from drywall to glass, but now we're intentionally aiming massive amounts of EHF waves with hundreds of antennas in a small space.

Call me a luddite, but I'm more and more thinking that we need a high quality longitudinal study about any effects of this kind of stuff before we go from 2x2/4x4 at well known frequencies to putting 128x128 EHF antenna arrays every hundred feet.

If I need to see the return type, I just C-c C-t and it's displayed for me.

Communication with satellites requires end devices to have huge antennas. They can maybe be put into cars, but definitely not into phones. Satellites are useful, for those 5% of users that live in so remote areas that you'd have to do a ton of digging to give them fiber, but this myth that they will render 5G or LTE useless is repeated often but wrong.

Nit: Human sound localization is 'good' from about 200Hz to about 1600Hz. Other posters have the sound at ~440Hz, so humans should be able to localize the sound fairly well.

Also, given that this was on 2014-ish hardware, 2Ghz/8Core sounds a lot like a Xeon L. A high-powered Xeon or something like an i7 could've probably already done a lot better simply because of raw single core performance. So these numbers definitely sound reasonable.
I find that Reddit is generally much worse about this kind of thing; perhaps it is the culture or maybe it is the fact that votes are public. If you say something people don’t like, they’ll quickly pile on you. For some reason people there really like going with the flow, and you can’t even reply to clarify without them coming after you. I have found it much less likely that this happens on Hacker News, and people are generally more willing to listen to a comment regardless of how others felt about it.

Some advice from Gary Provost, author of "Make Every Word Count".

“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety.

Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.

So write with a combination of short, medium, and long sentences. Create a sound that pleases the reader’s ear. Don’t just write words. Write music.”

I interpret the title to mean that a true achievement is something that is a step towards a better life as determined by each person. Haven't read it yet, but I imagine that the problem it alludes to is how people get trapped in a cycle of escapism -> life gets worse -> escapism. The "false" sense of achievement would be those that make you feel like you've achieved something, when actually your life outside of the game hasn't improved at all.

This isn't to say that true achievements can't come from playing games, but I believe for most people the achievements that come from games are false by this definition.

The native support for OpenVDB volumes is exciting. Having worked with OpenVDB occasionally, it's a very impressive library. The speed at which it can execute complex volumetric operations is matched only by the difficulty of understanding how to correctly invoke them. OpenVDB's points -> level set -> mesh is an order of magnitude faster than the marching cubes implementation I'd been using previously.

OpenVDB is a hidden gem, and I hope this gives it a bit more exposure.
