Readit Newsadamjb commented on The design philosophy of Great Tables posit-dev.github.io/great... · Posted by u/randyzwitch
There was some design blog post several years ago, maybe not even surfaced on HN:
Creating beautiful tables both UI and UX wise, with some features being e.g dropping separator between columns (row?), doing some visual accents, etc.
And yes, the most distinguished feature was that the tables weren't looking like your busy PowerPoint non-tech organisation stuff, they were very modern yet simple.
I don't remember the specifics, but I was really impressed and regret not bookmarking the article.
Does anyone know of the article in question, and maybe could share the link?
Is it this, from Matthew Butterick?

Am I missing something or does the security release recommend updating to the latest version without saying what that latest version is (at time of writing)?
Come to think of it, how can you find what version of Gitlab is being run? (through the web interface on a CE instance)

It's up the top at gitlab.example.com/help

They are outliers because it's a brand new phenomenon. This generation has the first sportsmen to push 40 in a lot of sports, beit Federer, James Anderson, Brady, Ibrahimovic. It will become quite common as time goes on I expect.
p.s. Schumacher drove a car, so I'm not sure he is a fair comparison to physical sportsmen
One of the reasons Schumacher was able to dominate was that he was one of the first F1 drivers to train for it as a physical sport.

if providing a link by google to an article is not publishing then why do you think providing e.g., a hyperlink to a magnet link by a torrent search engine becomes publishing of a copyrighted material?
(torrent search engine shows links to a link to a "link" to a material)
The laws in Australia refer to "facilitating" copyright infringement. Whether or not a torrent website is a publisher is entirely immaterial

Go through the whole list and figure out which of these services really requires your phone, and which you have set up on your phone because that seemed the easiest path.
Tell your workplace you're about to switch from carrying a phone to a landline: what is their fallback option? (It's about 50/50 whether they have one, but they definitely should.)
My workplace's solution was to simply turn off 2FA for my account
Interesting, I've seen my friend post a video not long ago with a 2CV in shot, that was in Paris.
You'd think France as the Western Europe would focus more on safety and emissions (apparently French are very climate conscious).
2CV's do around 6L/100km which is comparable to modern town cars
But there's a delightful span between seeing someone post something on HN unrelated to AI, Cryptocurrencies or startups selling VS-Code extensions and the moment when I satisfy myself something outlandish (like space starfish) hasn't happened. During that time, all things are plausible.
[Edit. Which is not to say I disparage or discourage posting cool things you've found on the net. That's kind of what many of us are here for.]
My impression is that this isn't exactly settled science. If you look in the history for the article you can see that it's mainly written by the lead author of the main citations. He also did the cute illustrations that everyone loves
