Need the EU to step in and standardize 18V power tool batteries

@christianselig I was sorted into the house of Milwaukee, but my father in law is a Ryobian. It’s extra annoying that they’re owned by the same company, but I guess they don’t want to break backwards compatibility.

I asked Google "who ruined Google" and they replied honestly using their AI, which is now forced on all of us. It's too funny not to share!

@nixCraft Google wasn’t ruined until 2019? That’s the real takeaway tbh.

Stupid econ question:

So it looks like a lot of remaining inflation is rent. In that case, wouldn't you want to lower rates to increase home-building and home-ownership in order to reduce rent pricing?

@ZachWeinersmith the entire neighborhoods being built as rental properties is probably the primary challenge to this.

I for one am strongly in favor of the efforts to arm teachers, as it should make future teacher contract negotiations go a LOT faster.

“Level-Setting Heading Levels”
https://adrianroselli.com/2024/05/level-setting-heading-levels.html

TL;DR: Avoid setting heading levels greater than six (6). This applies whether using aria-level or the proposed headingstart HTML attribute. Use HTML <h#> elements whenever possible.

ardouglass,
@ardouglass@mastodon.social avatar

@aardrian the best advice I ever got from a technical writing teacher was that more than a few heading levels probably warranted splitting something into multiple documents instead.

Six feels arbitrary, but forcing people to rethink their information architecture might be a blessing in disguise.

@ardouglass@mastodon.social avatar

@aardrian I do really like the idea of not worrying as much about heading levels when pulling in components and content. Maybe it’s an opportunity for some accessibility testing tools to warn about dangerously deep heading levels.

Had someone open two identical issues on GitHub. When I closed one of them as a duplicate, they replied “Thanks for nothing, Zach”

I'm always impressed the IRS makes you verify your identity before paying, as if there are rogue actors looking to pay other people's dues in the dead of night.

@ZachWeinersmith do your enemies taxes wrong to cause them a bureaucratic mess.

@christianselig a trackpad in the middle is the ergonomic version of a thinkpad keyboard with a nipple mouse.

Got my hands on Waterfield's bizarrely compact Vision Pro case and gonna do a blog review, any questions about it?

@christianselig can it do double duty as a lunch box? How well does the padding insulate in terms of keeping something cold for 4+ hours?

I’ve gotten back into crosswords after a few decades and one change that makes me rather cross (wordplay fully intended) is clues no longer indicate the number of words in the answer, let alone the letter count of the word(s) in the clue.

Maybe you didn’t grow up with crosswords that did that, but I did, and it was better that way. old_man_yells_at_cloud.jpg

@Meyerweb puzzmo does this, and also has a bunch of other neat word games too
