Modern CSS Solutions is a wonderful resource by Stephanie Eckles. From position: sticky to doing a Ken Burns in CSS, there are so many cool, new things to learn.
I don’t worry about the wheezing, or whether I’ll ever see the inside of a gym again, or the long term ramifications of school closings and sickness on my daughter’s higher educational prospects. I don’t even think about November. We are alive. It’s a good day.

The Two Sides of Singapore, As Seen By A Food Delivery Rider → Sometimes, when I’m starting to feel tired and I’m smelling the fried food of my deliveries, I get tempted. I think, maybe tonight I’ll dabao something back instead of cooking for myself. Then I’ll look at the price of food and think, no way man.
When I do a string of delivery, it averages out to $4.50 a delivery. That’s not even an à la carte Zinger at KFC.
Can you imagine cycling half an hour uphill to get a Zinger burger? I don’t think anybody would. Spending money on a mass produced burger that costs more than my effort to send someone a coffee? It doesn’t add up.
Twitter [is] the digital equivalent of cocaine. People first do it because everyone else does. Then it makes them feel witty, confident and popular. Over time, it turns them into obnoxious creeps. In the end, it leaves them out of a job and feeling very sorry about all the people they’ve hurt.

After giving up my Ubuntu laptop recently, I’ve been back on OS X¹ as my primary computer. And it’s been incredibly hard to find a decent ReplayGain scanner tool (to replace my old foobar-on-Wine setup) until I discovered the excellent ReplayGain Scan Utility for Mac OS X by Martin Scott in a Blogger corner of the interweb.
The program does one thing and does it well. Just drag your files and drop it to the app, and it’ll scan and save album gain metadata. Works like a charm on FLAC, M4A, and MP3 files. (Doesn’t work on Lossless AAC if that’s your jam.) If you’re on Catalina, you need the recently updated Version 0.3.
¹Turns out that since 2016, one does not say ‘OS X’.
