@craigmaloney Yeah that sucks, but I found these a while ago and they work quite well :)

The other day I was saying it'd be nice to have an app that mimics the way that conversations happen in conferences/meetups. Today I found one that's very close to what I had in mind! https://remo.co

#TIL That CSS pixels are not equivalent to device pixels in high resolution screens. So <img width="300" height="300"> can actually be rendered as 600x600px in some devices.

@karen Yeah for sure, I guess at this point my Japanese level is just too low xD

@karen Well I "read" with kanji. But still, I struggle to know if a bunch of kanji together are a single word or many. Or if the hiragana are particles or part of the word conjugation. は vs が may be difficult to write/speak, but I don't think they are a huge problem for understanding. And kanji are difficult but it's easy to find what they mean online (and most of the things I read have furigana).

I'm talking about understanding Japanese. So this is probably not true for writing/speaking :).

@karen One of the things I find the hardest in Japanese is actually the lack of spaces, I struggle to know where a word/particle ends and another begins.

Nice, Facebook will now be able to track us in Telegram as well. https://medium.com/@giphy/giphy-to-join-facebook-as-part-of-the-instagram-team-e7ea8d32d7b6

@vinnl Yeah I know, but at least the door is open for things like hey.com and others to make things better. With google play it's a closed game where they make the rules.

The best podcast app I've used and this happens :( Of course, it'd be easy for me to say "upload it to a different appstore". But is that even a real choice for a business owner? I really hope that the future is decentralized. More technology like RSS and email please.

If you want to become a better writer, learn to love the DELETE key.

@vinnl It seems cool, but I'm not sure it'd work. I thought about this because one of the problems I've noticed in virtual conferences is that after the main "talk", some people start talking but it's only one track. What's nice about physical conferences is that after the talk, groups of people form organically and you can enter/leave those group conversations easily. Maybe that wouldn't work in a virtual environment but it was just an idea I had :).

@Acaii@mastodon.social Is it this one? https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-russian-online-bar-shakes-up-self-isolation/a-52967919

Here's an idea: A video call application where participants can make conversation groups on the fly and organically. Like Zoom's breakout rooms, but managed by the participants and visible to everybody in the "master room".

This is Awesome :D https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/the-wolfram-physics-project-the-first-two-weeks/

#TIL that display:flex in the body breaks pagination when printing websites in Firefox :/ use display:block instead.

@panigrc I also thought of something similar after posting this :D

I'm still not sure which one I prefer though. This one may be easier to understand, but the performance is not as good. Of course, that depends on whether performance is important or not, the context of the project where this is being developed, etc.

I was vague on purpose to see how people react.

Which is better? #php #coding

Here's something I've been pondering

I've been searching for the Javascript equivalent of Laravel's tap helper and I couldn't find it, so I ended up doing it myself. Here's my version in Javascript & Typescript! https://gist.github.com/NoelDeMartin/16c4d390e7c310d0387761f9b561f102

#TIL that Github Actions logs expire, and I wasn't able to find when. I had been switching to them in all my repositories for convenience, but this is a blocker for me. Back to SemaphoreCI it is.
