What about just removing what you can't see from the DOM entirely, and load it in again when the dialog closes? Wouldn't be too hard with React or Vue. Just make it so either the page content or the modal is loaded.

While I certainly understand that math and physics are separate concepts, physics as we know it wouldn't be possible without math. I'm sure in your mind you can separate them, but if you took math away from physics, we wouldn'

I've heard this sentiment before and I don't really understand it. There's no separating physics and math. Keeping math "pure" really means keeping it "purely abstract", so it resists any kind of practical

I've looked through the Russian posts a few times, and to me it seems quite tame compared to the bitter, nasty, divisive rhetoric I hear sometimes from my fellow Americans. If this is the kind of thing that hurts our country, our own p

Seems to me that "brutalism" is two separate things that don't necessarily need to be mixed together. There's brutalist design, which is about keeping the design as simple and straightforward as possible. Then there'

In my opinion, "1" + 1 should throw an error, the compiler shouldn't try to interpret what you meant. Dynamic typing opens you up to all sorts of bugs that don't happen with static. That being said, I don't think dy

Sounds like they didn't want to be too offensive towards Christians and risk even more conservative backlash. For a little context, the Republicans are currently trying to kill PBS.

In my experience, the average internet user has barely any idea of what RSS is or how to use an RSS app. It's certainly not dead, but it has stagnated in recent years, while things like the Notifications API get integrated into all maj

Cool product, it just bothers me that they describe mycelium as the "underground root structure of mushrooms". That's like saying the rest of a plant is just part of a flower.

I think part of the attitude is that there's a lot of very cheap and inexperienced front-end devs who claim to be full stack to impress potential clients. Many freelancer directories are full of these people, and clients often end up p

I think the whole appeal is faster encoding/decoding, but compared to a normal jpeg, it's the same image quality with a larger file size. I could be mistaken, the article is kinda light on actual technical details.

I was taught that Javascript is safe because it has no input/output on its own, which is essentially true, but it's dangerous to work from that assumption since in the real world a program needs to have input/output to be use

I don't know if it's still the case, but one of the first things I learned about JavaScript was how it was inherently secure. Then I actually started using the language, and learned what utter bullshit that is.
