If you are using absolute paths, I found this easier to get used to:

    hash -d b=/home/me/bin
Then you call foo as:

    ~b/foo
I have an array of these defined to my most used directories.

if you open iOS settings, you'll see them all over the place. They are not a usability disaster and any shortcoming in articulating intent should be attributed to the designer themselves. Switches can also be used when the binary state is not on/off and you don't want to imply a default state necessarily such as dark/light theme switches.

I believe the templating is what's declarative, here. For instance, in Vue you can insert logic such as for loops, conditionals, event listeners, two-way data binding and so on right in the template with directives (HTML attributes).

    <Todo v-for="(todo, index) in Todos" :key="index"/>
Instead of an imperative JavaScript for loop.

Needless to say that this is subjective, but I think Single Page Applications and components-based UI in webdev is fairly modern as opposed to imperative, jQuery-esque Front-end development.

Not only should it be offline-first, but it also should have fallbacks options like self-hosting.

It is not a lie. The idea is that Tesla would go out of business and a vulnerability in the car would be found and exploited to kill you in the absence of security updates. Similar to how the article says:

> We're guessing a Charter alarm would still be able to make loud noises when someone breaks into a house, but that doesn't mean it'll work with an alarm-monitoring service.

> Number of studies.

Source your claims (at least one.)

I very much doubt this because only recently has it been possible for parents of the same sex to adopt, let alone evaluate their performance as parents and generalise it. I would very much love to be proven wrong, however.

That being said, the issue here is not the gender of the parent, but rather single parenthood. A working single parent interacts very much little with their kid(s) in comparison with an atomic family.

I oftentimes don't know if asking for screenshots is appropriate as I have no idea what's the software is about; so, whenever there are screenshots, I get a sense of relief.

You can do this with browser search engines, but as a DuckDuckGo user, I can !bang search_term (`!gh`, `!github` to search in github.) Now, I think DuckDuckGo is very lacking in terms of Zero-click searching, but if I know where to get information I can !bang to it (e.g., `!hn what`) or if you're feeling luck `\hn what` will open the first search result. Much better than spending an afternoon setting up search engines.

Id' say use real screenshots on your home page.

What's that have to do with anything (it being top front page)? are there guidelines for naming posts so that the language a software is written in is preferably in the title?
