Whenever I noticed that a site I'm visiting is "powered" by DECK, I was whitelisting it in the adblock. I hate ads, but I totally get that they keep things going in the Net, and so if there have to be ads they should be like

You will not see hard numbers because companies don't show them. Nissan Leaf became profitable about two years ago, if ever (their boss said "We're getting there" [1]) - but that means cost of production of a single unit

All-electric cars are not "a profitable segment". They might be in the future, but it's a bet.

It's not a problem in this particular case, as CSS Grid was introduced by Microsoft, in IE10. So, more or less, four years ago. I chuckle when Google announces that Chrome will support this feature as the next big thing, while it was c

Not having a wifi is, I assume, kind of a deal breaker for most of the people.

Performance. For example: hardware acceleration of movie decoding is (was?) a bit of hit or miss with Linux, while it usually "just works" on Windows. Win is also faster that Mac OS in this regard: mainly due to certain APIs being

I'm currently subscribed to Netflix, HBO GO and Canal+ (French/European premium TV channel), and HBO GO has the best catalog, by far. The problem with Netflix is that there are "Originals", and not much else. While the p

With all the massive, extreme poverty in India this only shows how meaningless GDP is as a mean to illustrate economy's condition.

His spin on how Google doesn't know who exactly uses their services got me fuming. But well, it's an interview from 2008, so before Android, Google+, and so on. So, let's give him benefit of doubt. But then he answers direct

The article does't exactly explain how the API and its exploit works, but my first thought was: can we at least have a simplified version, with not so accurate status? 10% thresholds should be just enough for the intended use, I believ

That's a good news. I wish there was an Android phone with, let's say, a Firefox set as a default browser, and a Google Play Store available. But, although I'm usually for EU in cases like this, I'm more and more disgru

You are right, except that Juncker is not the current, but the former EU president.

Do other manufacturers really miles behind? Or just on a different roadmap? All BMWs are going to be hybrids/EVs by 2022, Volvo is skipping a few iterations of semi-AI on purpose, VW puts automatic controls even in their budgets makes

I would say the landing page is exactly the case where jQuery is not needed anymore. Yes, it's convenient to use, yet for a mostly static page with a few XHR calls, some DOM interactions and whatnot - it's a bloat, actually. 12-

I wonder how any e-voting system could provide both anonymity of the vote and a secure access ("one person, one vote")? To provide the latter you've got to login somewhere, right? And to stay anonymous you can't leave an

There should be description fields or some kind of readme files for the profiles on GitHub. I can only assume that what I'm looking at is a set of tools written in/for Go language that are used by Facebook. Right?

The main problem with Google is not that it indexes everything, but that it indexes everyone - since almost everyone (at least in US and Europe) uses Google. A strong competitor would limit Google's reach in this regard. In this partic

It's not "pure CSS" if it's using data-attributes. It's CSS and HTML . With an access to both of these it's a trivial job. It would be sensational if someone would find a solution for that without using the la

Also, when Chrome was launched, it was the only browser with a multi-process approach to a multi-tab browser world.. Nope, IE8 was: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/03/11/ie8-and-loosel

I can't imagine a situation when using external CSS could make something to be much more difficult to understand and maintain. And no, I am not trapped by any religion, I do use inline CSS and <table> from time to time (only way
