I would agree and would rather they had spent more effort on adding support via standard HTML5 elements for more of the standard native form widgets like comboboxes, tree controls, grid controls, etc. - all those things that already exist o

Ah, I see. I use a normal cheap generic gaming mouse with my Mac specifically because I hated the 'magic' mouse and trackpad. I just want a normal mouse that works properly, the same as it does on Windows and Linux machines, wit

Yes, many would. I've even seen people drive down to the end of their driveway to get the mail from the mailbox or put out the trash. But also the car culture makes it so that a car is a big part of your identity and also a sort of ad

I was pleasantly surprised at San Antonio's bus system. They were everywhere downtown, frequent, and even had lines that go about an hour out of the city. I was only there as a tourist though, I don't know how well they'd be

So let's see what the suggestions are: - Remove markings (such as crosswalks) - Remove signals (such as pedestrian crossings) - Remove curbs (so that cars can, and will, drive on what is supposed to be sidewalk) - Where there

Those kind of tax and price variations are quite common in the U.S. too. Some examples: Bread from bakery plus lunchmeat from deli = taxed at grocery rate, but a shrinkwrapped sandwich using the same bread and lunchmeat = taxed at the high

dokuwiki is nice. It's a bit different than mediawiki, so you might want to try both and compare to see which you like better. One of the biggest differences is that Mediawiki is database-backed while dokuwiki is filesystem-backed. A

Disagree. The classic toolbar reads easily left to right just like a line of text - clean, simple, consistent. Ordered left to right, with icons grouped like words in a sentence - file operations, editing operations, other less-commonly u

That's an quirk of how people think about HTTP response codes, which are defined confusingly enough already. They started out as server response codes but once people started making web applications and APIs they started overloading th

Or much more convenient, given that the data is local and almost always available without the vagaries of an internet connection and remote server (except if/when all the bad local data loss scenarios happen at once and you need to res

Maybe because most companies use it. Also, it is quite new for it to be considered illegal, GDPR only came into effect a few years ago. It would only seem "nothing new" if you're extraordinarily young and inexperienced.

I had a TI-85, which was just a little different than the required calculator and didn't do everything quite like the book described. That was good. It meant that I had to learn to program it to do the things it didn't do like t

Choosing a tool doesn't mean locking yourself into it forever and refusing to ever use anything else though. Well before I even started my first development job, I had used BASIC, Turbo Pascal, Assembler, C, Euphoria, Java, C++, Javasc

My first office software was WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3 on DOS. Then Lotus Smartsuite, Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, now LibreOffice, with occasional bits of Google Docs. I never had to be retrained. Here's the thing, for 90% of use

Ah, I'd forgotten how much fun Flatout was! Used to have a blast playing that, Burnout, and Carmageddon. Lately I've been playing Redout Enhanced Edition which was free on Epic awhile back. Bought a new controller to play it. I

I just opened my wishlist and everything is 50-90% off except for two items one of which is a relatively new DLC expansion (other DLCs for the same game are 50% off). I really shouldn't buy more games now though, when I have so many th

Wish I'd known that it was difficult to become homeless back when I was. It seemed really easy at the time, all you had to do was get evicted. Not sure how it could be easier now.

Those are all traditional jobs though. Driving, picking/packing, animal care, doing laundry - Absolutely nothing you mention is in any way some new 21st century job that didn't exist before. They're all just normal tradition

The slicing is the difficult part. Especially when there are so many dependencies, so many things are intertwingled, you need both back-end and front-end and maybe migrations and configuration to support this new thing. A legacy system ha

Largely right, but actually a lot of that stuff is still out there. The personal and hobby pages, forums, blogs, etc. Google just doesn't know that they exist anymore, or rather doesn't want us to know, because those sites are not
