Funny. I agree with you that infinite scroll brings a bunch of UX issues. But a dark pattern? Definitely not. I have had multiple projects this year where the feedback from UX workshops has overwhelmingly been to use infinite scroll. This i

In isolation, you're right. Why on earth should giant robots be tested on public roads, especially when they can kill people? When we actually look at safety on public roads, you know what kills more people? Other people. We don't

PEAR installation will be disabled by default in PHP 7.4, see https://externals.io/message/103977 . It was a good tool, once, but the community has moved on.

That is some of the best SEO/content marketing I have seen all year. Nice camera review too. Have already passed the link to a number of friends.

No, the point made was that the author was unnecessarily aggressive. That does not imply that the author was not genuine. The attitude of the author is definitely relevant to whether the library can and should be relied upon for inclusion i

Yes. Far less physical however. You can 'join' a ruck, but not tackle full steam, let alone a shoulder charge or direct hit.

I think Uber is succeeding. But the goal is less obvious: burn cash to push through regulatory changes, loosening up the transportation market in preparation for self-driving taxis and logistics. Imagine a new startup trying to convince you

Fair viewpoint. I agree with you that this looks like the longer term business plan. However, multiple rounds of investors disagree and have come to the table and bet their cash. This will be interesting to watch unfold. To extend the runwa

I accept the basis of your argument - that point scoring is unhelpful. However, I feel you're missing the point when discussing censorship. If censorship is to be justly applied, there must be some objective measure of what is offens

Do you know what causes men and women to be unable to compete based on merit? Institutionalized discrimination such as quota based hiring policies.

Fair opinion, but I think you are arguing the wrong point. Apple ate market share from Nokia because of brand advantage. Many commentators mention that manufacturers are improving their EV product, but I think that boat has long sailed: Tes

I think this is the ironic lesson: for many sites, optimizing for consistent performance (i.e. CDN, geographic caching) is a more important objective than prematurely optimizing for a subset of users. Example: Business A - average render ti

Around the same for me, running fibre in New Zealand. Long delay before content even began loading - as mentioned in other comments, would likely have been a non-issue if a decent CDN was used.
