It does not sound as such if you read the content of the post. It's hardly a misconception to suggest that gay men do not generally fall in love with women.

Personally, I learned Web Assembly by reading through the spec. Can't recommend it more. It's extremely well written.

Whatever higher-minded cause a company might claim, the real reason is profit. A model which appears to advocate a view will not be tolerable to half the population, even if said view is objectively correct. Best to create an even-handed mo

A static site is one that you can serve through static hosting, where you have no control over the web server or its configuration. There is not some extra thing which is a static site with dynamic content. “Static” means “doesn't chan

A static site cannot inspect headers. There is no HTML, or even JavaScript function you can put in a file to inspect the headers before the file is sent to the client. A static site is a collection of static files. It doesn't need a se

So in other words, no more static sites?

You cannot generate a valid RRS/Atom document which also renders as HTML.

No because then it would not be an Atom feed. Atom is a syndication format, the successor to RSS. I must provide users with a link to a valid Atom XML document, and I want them to see a web page when this link is clicked. This is why so man

I use XSLT because I want my website to work for users with JavaScript disabled and I want to present my Atom feed link as an HTML document on a statically hosted site without breaking standards compliance. Hope this helps.

Yes. The front page of the internet used to consist of websites. Now you need to go to a special niche place to find the websites.

There's also the classic “it's not just X, it's Y”, adjective overuse, rule of 3, total nonsense (manage memory with surgical precision? what does that mean?), etc. One of these is excusable, but text entirely comprised of AI

And the fact this remains a Web site is truly remarkable. The reason it is popular with a niche group of technically minded-users is because Web sites are so hard to come by these days that you need a special place to collect them.

The Web is dead. Most people access the internet through one of perhaps ten popular applications that do not contain Web content (semantic XML documents hyperlinked together).

A trivial amount of legislation can fix that. Law reads: ISPs must implement implement parental blocks by default, exceptions may only be made on a per-device basis. Parental controls must also be enabled on public wifi. Easy as that. It do

It seems it would be much more effective to regulate ISPs, requiring them to disallow users from accessing adult sites and VPNs without first verifying their age. This also wouldn't be a violation of privacy since you are already givin

They have realised that, in single-threaded code, an implicit mutex is created between each call to await, and therefore state variables can usually be organised in such a way to avoid explicit mutexes. Of course, one strongly suspects that

This assessment is not based in historical reality. The last famine in the Soviet Union ended in 1947, more than 40 years before its dissolution, and with World War 2 being a major contributing factor. The broader economic situation of the

Banks do not provide capital. When I buy 50 tons of steel, no bank has sold it to me. The smelters and miners have provided that capital. Banks allocate capital. It is management, not provision. With that in mind, there are two types of pro
