You want to look at the DOM structure of the page as it exists in the loaded page and have I got a treat for you! Figure out how to open the web inspector for your browser; the keyboard shortcuts are ctrl-shift-I or cmd-shift-I or cmd-opt-

I don't think it's too disrespectful to summarize this article with a TL:DR. They were using RCS to do version control of some unknown files in their language. This caused a bunch of IO to happen intermittently when they were doi

Brick is for reusable UI elements; unlike Polymer, it doesn't use custom elements to solve non-UI problems. Brick uses vanilla syntax for the creation of custom elements, where "vanilla" means "as defined in the relevant

I feel you about the inadequacies and oddities of JS, HTML, and CSS, but who's going to engineer this clean break with the past? What entity or entities are cohesive enough in purpose and broad enough in interest to produce something

Did you have a particular statement in mind? Given that the comment was several sentences long, it's not clear to what you are referring.

I liked Collapse, but I really liked "The Collapse of Complex Societies." Written by an archaeologist, addresses many other scholars' theories of collapse, and provides an excellent economics / complexity argument. htt

True, so let's be even more exact: "presently" is the wrong tense; present acidification and warming are consequences of actions taken over the last several decades.

Pardon the profanity, but fuck! On a logarithmic scale, a decrease of 0.1 on the pH is a 25% increase in H+ concentration... ... and a decrease of 0.7 is a 500% increase in H+ concentration. That sounds apocalyptic, at least for ocean eco

Have you tried using the polyfills yet? From the sound of it, they are good enough that future is already here-- except for some glaring exceptions like shadow DOM re-projections.

A "civil law system" as opposed to a "common law system" draws less on precedent, past decisions made by judges on points of law similar to those at issue. Compared to common law, this simplifies the operation of courts and reduces the rol

The phrase 'diminishing marginal returns' is missing from this article. The essence of diminishing marginal returns is something like, "low-hanging fruit gets picked first"; problems that have a good ratio of effort in to reward out are pr

The reason for the controversy is 1) this level of dose is thought safe if absorbed throughout the body; 2) there is no consensus on whether this level is safe if absorbed solely in the skin; it sounds like the question simply has not been

The article specifically mentions material ablation (vaporizing part of the debris) rather than light pressure as the source of impulse. If it could vaporize debris that came off of satellites or boosters or what have you, it could vaporize

There is the idea of a laser broom [1], a ground-based system for pushing debris into more elliptical orbits that bring them closer to Earth at perigee. It might not be feasible for political reasons; I imagine most designs would also be ex

I finally created an account and stopped lurking to say: I don't think this comment is a troll. GEB teaches a relatively thin stream of technical ideas through very precious, "cutesy" prose.
