I don't disagree with the sentiment (who is he to dictate how I present myself) but do you really feel that society rests on secrets? Also this quote makes mark sound like holden caulfield

Probably not... The 60 watt model s has the same battery as the 75 watt model s. It's well known that you can pay tesla $200 to upgrade your 60 to a 75. If the road testers were testing the 60 watt model, they'd be testing it with

Well stride kind of handles that with focus mode. I think most people are aware that sometimes you need to disconnect to focus.

As I understand it, what we do is closer to B. I'm not on the ad sales team, but the way it was explained to me, our ad partners have analytics on their website like everyone does these days, and they generally give us a link specific

I can't speak to adnauseum specifically, but a lot of ad blockers use a combination of techniques to detect ads that are surprisingly hard to circumvent. But just in general, I don't believe I should have to spend my time cat-and-

Yeah if we stopped selling ad space we'd be a failing business model, but we are selling ads, we are making money. It's a working business model right now. There's also the philosophical argument, our mandate is to inform the

I think our content is worth $10, but of course we're a small paper, and very few people would pay $10 for it. If we paywalled our website, we'd just turn readers away and it would go counter to our mandate to inform the public. I

I personally use ublock origin in dynamic filtering mode, I use it like a blacklist, where I allow ads on all websites by default but block them selectively on particularly bad websites. I can't seem to find which comment of yours you&

How is advertising a ponzi scheme? (genuine, earnest question) We don't buy from an ad network, we have an ad sales department, the same people that used to sell print ads to local businesses now sell online ads to local businesses. Th

You are punishing me and only me. We don't use an ad network, we sell our ad space directly to local businesses. Fake ad clicks have been actively hurting our ability to sell ads for about a year now. Our ads are pictures. Pictures are

This is especially frustrating because we don't use an ad network. We have an ad sales department that sells ad space directly to local businesses. They're not hurting google, just us.

It just doesn't work. Most of our readers don't pay for news, and if they did, they'd probably pay for larger national papers. Back in the day of paper newspapers, our subscription fees had to be augmented with ad revenue as

True, I misread OP. I don't know that I think the browser should have a say in this discussion.

You're hurting the publishers. I'm a software developer at a local newspaper. We've been dealing with floods of fake ad clicks for about a year now, and they severely hurt our bottom line. We don't even use an ad network

But it's distinctly passive with ad blockers. Sure, you want to read my content without supporting me (some publications prevent you from doing so, but mine does not). You're just affecting you. With AdNauseum, you are actively at

Why? I work at a newspaper, we've survived on ads for decades, the way we deliver them has just changed. Most newspapers are like this, are you saying we should not exist?

Language server integration is a big one, but even if it didn't do anything more than Sublime, it's free.

Can I pick your brain for a minute? I'm vaguely aware of what the shadow DOM does, how on earth does it have anything to do with, let alone "fix," CSS?

They are super hype driven, now let me hype you for my personal fav. Vue is the most similar to vanilla JS that I've used so far. It stays out of your way and works like you expect it to. I like that it only handles the render layer. I

Your method sounds a lot like lightbot[0], which I've had a lot of success using with 10-12 year olds. Check out their flash demo, it's actually kinda fun for a few minutes. EDIT: just noticed lightbot jr. That wasn't there w

I know python, and last semester I took a class that briefly touched (lightly kissed?) LISP for a few weeks. I have a passing familiarity and I really loved the very small amount that I saw. I'd like to learn more, can you go into more

I mostly agree with you, I subscribe to "don't attribute malice where you could attribute incompetence or unforseen factors" but I keep wondering in the back of my head why they would keep all this cruft in the docx format. T

Next time, give Vue a shot. All it does is take an HTML template, fill in some data, and update the data when the original 'source of truth' updates. All you have to do is modify that 'source of truth.' Yeah you still ha

Opera is chrome-ish now that they've ditched their old rendering engine :/ (though I'm fairly certain they use a different strategy for managing tabs than chrome that might still be more memory efficient)
