No, for English the thirty series is always "thirty-foo", and numbers ending in three are always "foo-three". It is true that you don't use the same word for the number when it's in the tens place (like Chinese

(Native Marathi, competent Hindi speaker here. Marathi has the same problem) So, it's not like each number has a different name. However, it's almost like that. Basically, the numbers can be broken down into a logical tens and o

Hindi/Marathi are not easy, you almost have to memorize the numbers 1-100. Hindi and Marathi both have dedicated names for the tens (11, 12, 13, ...) and after that numbers are named in the reverse order of their digits. E.g. 45 wi

The problem is that there's a buggy u2f library out in the wild distributed by Google that depends on Chrome-specific impl details. This means that while the pref works for sites like Github, it doesn't work for Duo or Google logi

FWIW Firefox does support WebRTC (which is used for web calling), however sites like Meet sometimes filter for Chrome anyway (IIRC Meet may use Chrome-only proprietary features?). Hangouts is now available on Firefox though, after years of

I think for such things it's preferable to just have a `clamp` method as a static method, i.e. you call it with `Ord::clamp(foo, bar)` instead of `foo.clamp(bar)`. But yes, it could. Generally the trend seems to be to still try to avoi

This particular series is more of a toy OS for learning purposes (and through which they can teach things). At least, that's my impression of it. Redox ( https://github.com/redox-os/redox ) is a Rust OS project that

It's not just old sites that depend on these quirks. Seriously, web compat is very tricky.

I'm not sure what you mean by team velocity. We're still working on standards compliance, but we may focus more on the bits that are actually useful within VR.

by Manishearth 9y ago
You still need webcompat for VR stuff. Focusing on VR means that we may not be working on some kinds of webcompat things (the standard example is "IE6 table layout quirks") but there's plenty of webcompat work that needs to b

We're still working on web compatibility; that's not changing. But I don't think we've ever had a concrete goal to have a standalone Servo browser. Parts of servo in firefox? Sure. Trying out new ideas? Sure. Embedding s

This will not work with password fields.

by Manishearth 9y ago
This isn't a CSS feature, CSS does not let you select on the value of a password field (it lets you select on the value of the `value` attribute , which doesn't change when you type) This is a React feature, where React apps sp

by Manishearth 9y ago
This is incorrect. The [value=foo] selector does not work for the actual value of the field, only the `value` attribute (used to set the initial value). This means that both: - typing the password - setting the password via element.value=fo

I think your wording there is incorrect and very misleading, even if you do understand it. You say > Cargo selects the latest version of a new dependency and its own new dependencies but that's not true; it selects the "latest

I think this oversimplifies the problem. OpenType basically requires you to operate on a glyph buffer. What you can do, is try and make all glyph buffer operations throw an error that makes you hit a fallback case.

Imagine if dereferencing a null pointer in C was defined to segfault. Currently, it's UB, which means the optimizer assumes it's not null, and when you break that assumption, weird things happen, the least scary of which is a segf

This isn't any different from what happens to pronunciation in English. The difference between English and Indic languages is simply that this has happened a lot more with English (also English kinda gets its words from all over the

Not Korean, but the Korean case is different, a bit. Korean syllable blocks are viewed as syllable blocks -- a new concept, whereas Indic consonant clusters are simultaneously viewed as letters of their own and fundamentally composed of mor
