This is a really tired meme. It's not any less accessible than minified js.

One way to think about some of this stuff is that "the society has changed too much too quickly for our biology to catch up".

As another person said it's just "semantics" so it's going to be legal. They can't pretend that you checked the "I agree to the terms of service ..." checkbox just yet. So technically they can't &quot

I didn't quite understand why you are against net neutrality.

Either elaborate or don't say anything at all. Every time someone mentions the man someone says "hurr durr XP raw sockets something something" and links to that page that calls him a charlatan or snake oil seller.

Lots of people caught up here about nitty gritty details of hash type client side vs server side and so on. The elephant in the room in my view is the fact that the person can just upload the images on another image/file sharing platfo

My number one feature request for VS Code is the ability to detach multiple windows and move them around on multiple monitors. For example I want the project sidebar thing to sit on a separate monitor. Would be really nice.

Like Steve Jobs he is amongst the group of people who could say anything anyway they like and some people will find a way to glorify it by a factor of a million. If you remove their name from the things they have said or written, at least m

This has become one of my pet peeves over time. After the recent round of ML/DL/AI hype train it appears that a number of people have adopted this belief that these technologies are pixie dust you can sprinkle over any arbitrary p

It's unfair to label this as "Enterprise OO Garbage". It's simply a verbose name.

Considering that PBKDF2 has adjustable difficulty parameters would you still say it's worse if very high difficulty parameters are chosen?

It makes it sound like the customers are some clearly identifiable and reachable group of people all gathering outside just waiting for you to go talk to them. For some businesses that may to some degree be the case. For many businesses tha

But do they provide anything that would help me with layout/presentation? (think something remotely like CSS, or flexbox) Or do I have to make it all from scratch? (Not familiar with game engines)

A queue is good for relieving the burden of processing the correct items from the list (so you don't have to query the database to know what to process next). Apart from that would say that you should still have a serious ACID DB like

I'm sure by now Google wouldn't need Chrome headless to be released for them to have that capability.

How would you even "test" CSS? Look for particular expectations being met in the browser? As a lot of the general TDD stuff I'd say it's a bad idea. It gives you nothing extra of value. Instead you end up multiplying the
