   That is arguably (by at least one Johns Hopkins professor [1]) a purely psychological response. Anything can become psychologically addictive with habitual use, but that doesn't make it a substantively addictive substance. You could

   I'm aware that caffeine can be psychologically addictive (just as anything habitual can be) and that there are physical withdrawal symptoms for some heavy users, but those symptoms last only around a week. Ultimately, anybody can choos

   When people start selling caffeine patches and joining support groups to quit drinking coffee, maybe we can visit that topic.

   Whereas elsewhere in this thread you suggest the addiction dangers of caffeine from coffee is comparable to the addictiveness of nicotine?

   Nicotine is basically a synonym for addictive.

    It's all pretty ludicrous even on the surface. A lot of vaping proponents try to argue the relative safety of water vapor to smoke, but in the end it's still just a delivery method for various chemicals including nicotine. Not t

    Honestly, though, what sort of market share does Windows Phone have? Surely it's a single digit percentage. How could anybody justify developing for that platform without having a significant interest?

    It sounds like you're on the right track: AMP is a subset of HTML with restrictions on what can be on the page. The key is, if a page meets those restrictions then the page can be pre-fetched and pre-rendered to allow for an instanta

    The implication is that thieves will break the windows and snatch whatever they can. Since the police can't break the windows and "hold the contents for safekeeping" they have to skip the locked cars.

    I've often read stories about fast refactors from Python or PHP to Go. I wonder if that would translate to a reasonably fast refactor to Rust later on, if that should become necessary or desirable.

    Also a great example of how vindictive the justice system can be. Once you're a part of the process they will have decided that you are guilty and deserving of punishment, and they will seek out any avenue of attack they can.

    Shadow DOM enforces CSS isolation incidentally, but is also part of the larger "web components" plan, which would also incorporate CSS modules. In these cases you would fully encapsulate CSS, HTML, and JS on a per-component basis.

    That's a pretty fair assumption. It would also mean that 2% of pretty much every food should contain a bit of human DNA, making hot dogs a moot target.
