The feature I most want from Twitter is "view this user's tweets without showing their retweets"
Note that this isn't the same thing as turning off someone's retweets - I want to go to the profile of someone I don't even follow and see what they actually say, not just a stream of stuff they have retweeted
These days I'm so keen on having every commit link to an underlying issue thread that I'll sometimes write some code, then file an issue and close it with a commit a few seconds later
The real value here is having somewhere to continue the discussion around a change. I'll frequently add screenshots and links-to-documentation to an already closed issue. Also great to link to from release notes.
It almost becomes an out-of-band documentation and commentary thread - somewhere you can really dig into the reason for a change without fear of clogging up the code with comments that will inevitably become out-of-date in the future
github.com/bertrandmartel… by Bertrand Martel does all of the actual work, I just added a paper-thin wrapper around it that writes the resulting Pandas DataFrames out to a SQLite database
Apple has gone to extraordinary lengths to make scroll bars invisible, and I hate it
Anyone seen a reliable pattern for having them appear in Safari / MobileSafari / Firefox / Chrome on macOS and iOS?
The ones on StackOverflow from a few years ago don't seem to work any more
To clarify: I want to have them visible for users of my web applications, so fixing this in macOS system preferences, while good for me, isn't the solution I'm after
I think I'm going to do the visual indication that there's more content offscreen thing - maybe with a shadow
TIL that witches are traditionally associated with pointy hats, cauldrons and cats because that's what women who sold beer they brewed wore to the market - cauldrons to carry the beer, pointy hats for visibility and cats to keep the mice away from the grain
It's long, well researched, neatly illustrated and brings copious citation footnotes. Here's the TLDR:
"TL;DR: Medieval or 16th century alewives were not the cause of the modern witch stereotype, which seems to have solidified in children’s chapbooks from the 18th century."
