I actually love MD, I hate how people focus more on the click-animation of the button (the "pulse" animation originating from where someone clicks/taps) and less about the rest of the guidelines. Proper z-indexing, proper dro

It needs that permission to read the page and perform the text swap. Text swap is change data, the DOM needs to be read. This is a big reason to support open source add-ons (not sure if add-on is, might be since it was forked? No idea.) You

This is how I've developed projects for the past two years. Every module is scoped. If it needs variations but contains the same HTML structure - it gets a modifying class (.full, .half, .side, .footer, whatever) If it has a different

Privacy violations and user tracking should always be opt-in not opt-out. If nobody opts in, one should rationalize why users may not want to be tracked or have their privacy violated and question whether making it opt-out is a good decisio

Did nobody think to use archive.org on these sites while they were still up? :( Or was that not possible. Something like HTTrack would have been useful, rather than a few people screenshotting the sites.

Where I work, days off are logged but only to make sure you aren't "abusing" the informal policy. Abuse means you get treated more formally and may be told "No, you need to come in today." Email/call in sick, s

The second statement that you separated from the first statement was to explain to you why the first statement is correct. I used some weasel words there ("more or less") because there will be some targeted ads based on A or B -

It takes a certain amount of street smarts... Throwing some more anecdata on the pile. Where I (primarily) grew up, gangs weren't really a thing and most kids were middle-class and a bit of goody-two shoes. The bullies mostly bullied b

In many countries, tipping is seen as an insult and is something that should be avoided. In a global context (which the Internet largely is) it isn't the best metaphor. Entire countries wouldn't understand it.

They meant it in terms of malware/viruses/tracking and probably could have phrased it better as "hostile payloads" or something similar. Books generally don't contain malware and those that do don't contain mal

Japanese yen would not have the decimal, so you are correct. Japanese currency does not have fractions of ￥1. It would be listed as ￥19 or 19円. It also wouldn't make much sense to list a Japanese price on a Chinese website.

~5.5x that speed is still about 13,636~ years. Much better but still not very realistic.... 18.1 lighthours is 3/4ths of 1 lightday. Which is 1/1533 of 4.2 lightyears or in other words: 0.06% of the way there. Going the remaining

Proxima Centauri is 4ly away. New Horizons (the Pluto Probe) was travelling at 15.73km/second (just over 34,000/mph) You're looking at closer to 75,000 years - not 1,000 years - to reach Proxima Centauri. E: Did actual maths.
