sometime ordinals are more natural sometimes cardinals are more natural. In the case of vectors (especially of C-style arrays) I would say that A[0] is the first element in the array. I agree that things should have names, but names serve u

Good luck using pseudoclasses, pseudoelements or media queries in inline styles. Wrt Tailwind I still have not used it enough to decide whether it is good™ but it is not that different from writing inline styles. Apart from optional plugins

Modern browsers zoom by increasing the CSS pixel size, so now all units are relative

zeroth is the ordinal associated with the cardinal zero. For example christmas is the zeroth day after christmas. A common advice with regards to user inputs is that if you do not do ordering or arithmetic on a piece of data (eg a phone num

0 = -N mod N and N-1 = -1 mod N The consistency is that if i < 0 and l[i] exists then l[i] = l[i+N]

My point was that if a function in your language is class {public function call() {...}} then it is going to be unergonimic to write what other languages write as array.map((elem)=>{...})

Sure but the same would be true if Instagram proper only had light mode and dark mode was a separate app. In that case "New app gains 100M users in a week" would be a pretty biased way to phrase "10% of the userbase tries out

I believe this is an insightful observation but that it underestimates the difference in strength of the connectiont between instagram and threads compared to most other pair of social networks (including instagram and facebook) By this I m

To me this looks more like 100M instagram users used reels. It is not a new social it is an extension of an existing network.

I do not think that they mean that all easy things have been done, rather that if this feature was easy then it would already exist

IMHO the secret of tailwind is that it is not really a CSS framework, it is a different way to author CSS. The only real difference is that you do not use >, +, or *

If not multiple browsers many use different profiles, and then you would want to chose the appropriate profile

Do you know if there is something similar for windows?

Not really, because sometime default settings are weird and I would also want a "Forget all associations". My point is broader than browsers: if an app wants to redirect me to another app I want a modal where I can select an alter

This is what I want personally. I use different browsers for different things: let me fucking chose which browser to use. I am currently wondering how easy it would be to build a "shim browser" that you can set as default but does

Not who you are replying to but I would expect any large organization (eg: almost every university and large research institute) to have a competent IT team that can help with most problems. I would not expect them to make patches to packag

It would be better if they did, but this has nothing to do with the ISA. The only possible link I can see is that you can arbitrarily modify RISC-V on your core, so it is easier to tivoize your software... but this seems like a reach.
