I don't see how a ban could work. We already have technology that can identify targets, so the issue is whether a human is involved to approve each kill decision. But what constitutes human approval? Is it enough for a human to sit and

But this is a library. It's not a drop-in 'sortable list' component (which I agree could, and should, have built-in keyboard accessibility). It's a general purpose toolkit for setting up drag interactions. Asking if it &

I wouldn't want a DnD library to magically 'implement' accessibility for me. How would that even work in a one-sizzle-fits-all way? If I'm building a UI that needs both mouse interaction and keyboard interaction, I want

You can polyfill it in those browsers. Just use polyfill.io, or if you prefer, manually feature-detect it and if necessary load Github's fetch polyfill, which is good: https://github.com/github/fetch

Ah OK I see what I call "what" you call "why". "otherwise comments get outdated easily" - not mine. If this is a problem, it's a problem that needs fixing, not a reason to comment less. "extract that

Who gets confused by that? It's obviously just a diagram, not a real 'map'. Of course it's not going to look the same as a geographical map.

But if the commit message says what happened, then you don't need to read diffs to find out what happened. Reading an English sentence is easier than reading code diffs, and also you can read a bunch of sentences in list form (eg, git

The NSA news broke a long time ago and 600% over that period doesn't sound like outlandish growth for a startup. Or maybe it is, I don't know. It would be good to see this figure over time on a chart, then we could see if there is
