You can detect where the cursor is before editing the input value, and place it in the correct place afterwards. This is a pretty basic trick used in many different places, including by Cleave itself.

I'm not sure what you're trying to convey with your comment. Do you have reason to believe otherwise? If so, you should take the bet. Otherwise, readers have no reason to believe someone who isn't willing to put their money o

As far as I can tell, "mechanically separated meat" is meat that's been mechanically separated from bones by a grinding process. The prion fears are because some of the bone gets in, and some of the bone contains nerve tissue

Your link also says that, as of 2004, the USDA considers mechanically separated beef prohibited for use in human food. So I'm guessing that means the "pink slime" this article is talking about is something else?

It's not, not without an assertion: https://i.imgur.com/DJjzPDF.png Well, it's allowed in that it will still compile the code (because TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript), but it'll still yell at you.

I'm actually kind of surprised that programmers, of all people, would oppose guard-rails. At university, it was a meme that no one's C program ever compiled the first time they tried. I can't imagine even the best programmer

I mean, that's true of Reddit, too; the fact that memes are more common on Reddit now is directly because more people enjoy memes. Anyway, I don't really want to include a value judgment here; I'm just observing that it chang

Server-side filtering of /r/all is a Premium feature - or, at least, it was a Gold feature. I don't see a list of Premium features anywhere.

Form actions are actually GET by default (think search forms). You need to explicitly use <form method="post"> for a POST form.

I'm a native speaker; my first language was Mandarin. On the other hand, I'm a Southerner, so I don't usually distinguish between "sh" and "s" sounds. I can do the 卷舌 thing, though, well enough that Northe

I don't know if you pronounce "missy" differently than I do, but I pronounced the second syllable "see". And to me, Mandarin 'xi' sounds a lot more like "she" than "see".

They even had a legitimate example, of Dropbox sending an email from dropboxemail.com. I honestly think this should never be done because users shouldn't be expected to know which domains you do and don't own.
