Equally baffling is that quotes, which should simply demarcate regions within which special characters are ignored, have special semantic meaning to a CSS parser. That narrative, however, isn't one for which we can blame Microsoft.

It's somewhat disingenuous to claim that SF has no "sketchy" areas if you're explicitly ignoring them. If you ignore the crime problem in crime-heavy areas, you might say that those areas have no crime problem. It doesn&

It seems like we've come full circle by reimplementing JSSS, Netscape's disused Javscript Style Sheets ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_Style_Sheets ). JSSS failed as a practical competitor to CSS, wh

It's interesting that the Paul brings up the trademark license clause regarding for-pay distribution. If you are using the Mozilla Mark(s) for the unaltered binaries you are distributing, you may not charge for that product.

They're primarily for content ownership management. I'd prefer not to have accounts, and Ghostbin tries to avoid keeping identifiable information around, but they do come in fairly handy for maintaining control of the things you&#

Incidentally, I launched a pastebin ( https://ghostbin.com/ ) some time ago, used Persona for authentication, and absolutely loved it. Pastery looks awesome. It appears that you're using Pygments server-side?

While this is certainly fascinating, it seems terribly irresponsible given the sheer number of unpatched devices out in the wild.

If Dotcom wanted an open-source community-supported file sharing platform that couldn't be taken over by external forces, why did he create the perfect antithesis to that? Why did he in fact sign an agreement barring him from competing

Thanks! We've been working on this for a while. We've considered a couple solutions to the lag; the most promising one we've come up with is to use a different framebuffer protocol. It wouldn't necessarily fix the lag, b

Unfortunately, UIKit doesn't use the well-thought-out NSImage class, opting instead to reimplement it by way of UIImage. In this case, the GP is correct: NSImage is part of the UI toolkit (AppKit); it is not a core API exposed by, say,

I believe it lets you compensate for the possibility that, say, all of your conversions might be coming from the bottom 1% of your users. Segmenting A into A1/A2 therefore insulates your interpretation of the results for A from being a

Insofar as one could consider the kernel to be the core of an operating system, this (specifically, XNU on ARM ) is the core of iOS. Having the Darwin userland atop that is simply icing on the proverbial cake. What would you consider the c
