No, jQuery falls back to Sizzle when a selector is not supported by native querySelector, either due to using jQuery-specific extensions, or due to lacking browser support.

The YouTube mobile website is intentionally crippled. For example, the video refuses to play in a video popout, even though the same browser feature works for me on other mobile websites and on desktop YouTube. Personally I just avoid brows

> As C89 was taking shape, the neurodivergent notion of a "zero-length object" was making the rounds I'm surprised that the authors decided to, and were able to, slip in this little euphemism.

Python's defaultdict also behaves like this, inserting the nonexistent entry into the dict: from collections import defaultdict m = defaultdict(int) m["nonexistent"] len(m) # => 1 There are examples of

I use Notepad2. It’s a reasonably powerful editor like Notepad++ (in fact it uses the same text editing library), but all the extra features can be hidden or disabled until it looks just like stock Notepad.

It's because you have an ad-blocker of some sort enabled. They inject stuff into pages.

You don't, but instead you can jump to an arbitrary place in the results. For example, you could show results starting from the letter P, or show results starting from 2022-04-02.

That is a sensible way to think about it, and it would be great if the language worked that way, but unfortunately it does not. Statements in JavaScript are not separated by line breaks. Here is an example to illustrate: console.log(&

Oh, it works, it's just cheekier than you think - it won't refresh the page if the URL includes a hash/fragment (such as after you clicked one of the "next" links while browsing comments here).

There are some getters and setters in the web APIs with cheeky side effects. Presumably this one causes the canvas to be re-created, or something. Here's another good one, try it in your browser console: location.href = location.

Your question is answered in the article: > Given the code we've found that depends on NULL argv, I think we likely can't make the change outright, so we're down this weird rabbit hole of trying to reject what we can and c

It totally is. I used to write custom CSS for IE to make drop shadows work (it didn't support the standard syntax). Now I write custom CSS for Safari to make drop shadows work (there's a bug where if you remove the node, its shado

You should assume that no one read the article. I certainly did not before coming to read the comments (although I have enough restraint to not comment myself on the substance of it when I do that). For better or worse, the title and the li

It seems to me that the English poem is indeed Kandel's original. There are very few similarities to the Polish version, other than the general theme. I found Lem's poem here: http://www.matematyka.wroc.pl/book&#x2

Well, I don't know how to put it into strings.xml specifically, but there are localisation systems that handle it without much fuss. It requires a bit more effort from developers and translators, but it's not that hard in concept.

Most of the non-sketchy reasons are related to iOS Safari being crippled. For example, I worked on a rich text editor, and we wanted to put a bar with text formatting tools above the touch keyboard. This is not possible in the browser: your

Please have a look at the browser lists linked in the parent post again. SVG enjoys better browser support than the web fonts being discussed here. I am also wondering which old browsers you're talking about.

Yeah, that's true. We also always use the RETURN_DOM_FRAGMENT / RETURN_DOM options, which avoids the issue according to the article (I don't think we serialize/reparse the output anywhere ourselves). And also, we forbid
