Accessibility costs a lot of money and it's a perfectly valid observation that one can skimp on it for profit. You may call it immoral, I call it mathematics.

i'm curious to know: if you have a disability, what's the hardest thing about browsing the web? First thing that comes to mind: CAPTCHA. Not all of them have an audio option. If you're blind, you're out of luck. Not to

Nope. It was the multiply sign between a and b that was missing. And a cast of char* to int in the line with the return statement. That was the actual solution. Besides, I have no intention of joining this site because the real world poses

Read other people's code. Soon you will realize that even the people who you look up to the most will have their fair share of mistakes and ugly hacks. Nobody's perfect.

I jumped into CodeWars.com just to see what it's about. Take a look at this puzzle: The code does not execute properly. Try to figure out why. int multiply(int a, char *b) { return a b; } WTF? Who the hell multiplies a char po

I'm skeptical. The cost of managing these permissions might outweigh the benefit. But hey, why not try it. As long as I can disable it when it ends up getting in my way...

Except that media is much more than TV and newspapers. More and more people turn their backs on traditional media and get their information from a blend of many internet sites and witness videos on youtube and so on. And I only see this tre

It's interesting, reading the first line of each one of these emails triggers a kneejerk reaction in me of wanting to instantly dispose of and delete this message. Even just reading them on this page! It's a psychological thing, I

Modern dating is a mystery to me. What a laborious and painful way to sift through people when the most likable people come into your life when you least expect it.

You have no idea how much I hate the people who are paid for 8 hours of 'butt in the chair' but they only show up for 6 and of course it's their code that breaks first and of course they've already gone home when the bug

Their site runs on their server and is free to visit. Micosoft runs their products like Windows and Office on YOUR machine. That's the difference.

Maybe one day brain surgery will be super easy with the right tools. But yes, I somehow expected the article being about someone who fixed the silicon or something crazy like that.

Unjust enrichment of disgusting bureaucrats. In this case, google did nothing wrong other than display what they want on their own site, and for that they have to pay their hard earned money to an undemocratic authoritarian commission. No t

It's just that you could literally substitute 1 for both x and y and it would be immediately obvious that the equations cannot hold.

I think the bump just before 20 on the "Alone" graph is really interesting. I'd also like to see the data with genders separated, could be interesting too.

For instance, contrary to the belief of many students sin(x + y) is NOT sin(x) + sin(y) (x+y)^2 is NOT (x^2) + (y^2) sqrt(x+y) is NOT sqrt(x) + sqrt(y) 1/(x+y) is NOT (1/x) + (1/y) Wow, seriously? Especially the one with th

Yes, that is what I am saying. My respect for self-ownership and individual choice runs so deep that if someone truly wants to die (not as in voicing suicidal thoughts as a cry for help, but actually wanting to die), I'd respect that.

Never ever publicly tell stuff like that you're suicidal. It's a recipe for disaster. People think they have to send police after you, lock you up and put you under watch - mostly causing more harm and problems than good. They act

Louder music sounds better if you have shitty speakers. When I bought my set of studio monitors, I realized that I (unconsciously) listened at a much lower volume, simply because the clarity was already close to perfect at that volume.

Popularity is the opposite of progress because progress is that which is not yet popular. Social norms are equal to mediocrity and conformity. I realized that trusting one's own intuition and going one's own way pays off in the lo

If somebody MitMs your connection to 127.0.0.1, you're hopelessly lost anyway. I don't really see a reason to protect requests that do not leave your machine.
