Image slideshows on homepages can harm user experience and SEO. They increase loading times, often go unnoticed by users, confuse search engine crawlers, distract from main calls to action, create poor mobile experiences, and contribute to cognitive overload, ultimately reducing engagement and effectiveness.

13.3.2025 16:08What’s The Best Position on Page for Social Icons?AI tools struggle to draw analog clocks accurately, consistently displaying the time as 10:10.

28.1.2025 17:56What’s The Best Time to Display a “Subscribe” Popup?Viviamo in un'epoca in cui la globalizzazione è una forza che ci collega in modi prima impensabili, arricchendo le nostre vite ma anche sfidando le nostre radici culturali. Come emerge dal tuo discorso, alcune tradizioni si radicano facilmente perché risuonano con la nostra società attuale, mentre altre, più legate a specifiche identità storiche, restano meno accessibili. Questo fenomeno è affascinante e ci invita a riflettere: quali tradizioni vogliamo accogliere e quali desideriamo preservare? In questo contesto, la cultura culinaria italiana rappresenta un esempio brillante di come le radici locali possano convivere con un mondo globalizzato, raccontando storie e valori attraverso i sapori. Proprio il "sugo della domenica", che ho approfondito in un mio recente articolo, è un simbolo perfetto di tradizione, comunità e famiglia. Ti invito a leggerlo per scoprire come questa ricetta rappresenti non solo un piatto, ma un ponte tra passato e presente, locale e globale.

This is a very challenging task that leaves little room for distractions. If a startup’s CEO spends time consulting, promoting himself on social media instead of the company, or juggling two jobs, they are very unlikely to succeed... Continue Reading →
23.12.2024 18:26Leading a Startup Leaves Times For Little ElseAlcuni giorni fa, durante un mio viaggio, Trenitalia ha installato un aggiornamento del proprio software, bloccando l'accesso all'app e al sito web. Nonostante il mio tentativo di acquistare un biglietto, sono stato multato dal controllore. La mancanza di assistenza al cliente e responsabilità è evidente nel servizio ferroviario italiano.

27.3.2024 11:50Comment on Connecting Google Maps and Google Sheets to Solve the Traveling-Salesman Problem by AnonThanks so much for this; it was exactly what I needed, and got me almost all the way there. I got a few errors, but they were all of the same nature - needing to check that variables existed or were non-empty before using them; for instance, adding if(stops){...}, if(directions){ if(directions.routes.length > 0){...}}, etc. I wonder if perhaps there was an older version of javascript that was less rigid about things like that?
