Typically, yes I agree. But if you're evaluating someone's expertise in open source contributing, looking at their open source contributions is fair game.

This is a good point and thanks for sharing. I would add that in my experience the bar for "reasonably popular" is much lower than people would typically expect. One or two issues a month may not be much if you're actively us

This statement does seem a little ironic coming from a browser which is Chrome with a different design.

I can see how it causes problems, but I don't really see any alternatives for certain properties. Would you want to set the color property on every element that contains text? Or do something with the universal selector?

CSS does actually call it inheritance[0], but it's commonly mixed up with the cascade. Inheritance applies to certain properties, so that when they are not specified on an element, an element inherits the value of the parent. The casca

Very few students will pay that price. Even those above financial aid thresholds will typically be offered a ~~sale price~~ merit scholarship. Also, if they have other offers they can try and price match. The sticker price is so high becaus

The standard argument for office work is that there are some intangible benefits to in-person work and communication that can't be effectively replicated over zoom and slack. The cynical argument is that managers like being able to wal

I find the situation is similar to right-to-work laws. If you find the walled-garden/closed-shop beneficial, you will not want it to be forcibly cracked open. Even though an individual can opt to remain with the App Store (or union), t

I don't disagree with the main point here, but the dev-dependencies won't be installed or run on your machine unless you're building Tailwind or Panda itself. They're not necessary for processing the CSS.

The idea of a simpler, less bloated Slack is definitely appealing to me as a user, but I'm not sure there's much of a market. What kind of companies are they targeting here? Small enough that user access dialog is usable and the l

Originally, the project had a goal of zero dependencies. [1] I assume that was considered infeasible with the migration to Rust, but part of the philosophy remained. [1]: http://web.archive.org/web/20201101030019/h

They can, but they'd have to make those downloads only available to NZ users. This is also why American sites need to block EU users or comply with the GDPR. You can't just pick a server location with the laxest laws. IIRC, Gutenb

In my experience there are almost never issues. Standardization has gotten much better, and as a web developer I appreciate all the effort the various browser teams have put into ensuring common behavior. The effort of "supporting Fire

I doubt it means anything. The 3rd gen iPad was superseded within 6 months, but it still had 7.5 years of support.

An important factor is knowing your audience. Writing a book review? Go ahead and use "bildungsroman". A scientific paper? Neodymium, amygdala, or ionosphere will probably be understood. The goal of a writer shouldn't be to c

It seems that nothing is so permanent as a temporary Schengen border control. Some of them have been in place since 2015 and it doesn't look like they'll go away any time soon. In fact Germany is looking to expand them, adding bor

Using a Google font causes the client to send a request to Google servers. The Google server then receives the client's IP address. Occasionally a judge will consider that a GDPR violation. [0] Sometimes using a CDN will also be consid

The last case could be covered by the `dir` pseudo-class. .button-icon:dir(rtl) { transform: scaleX(-1); } However, it's not yet supported in Chromium browsers, so for now the attribute selector is as close as you c

Oh, that could change things. Although I think it still depends on what Apple means by "associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services". I think they may be intending to allow something like GoFundMe or

Yes, I think their phrasing in that sentence is vague. It should be structured like the functionality one to make clear that tipping _may_ be added, but if implemented it _must_ use in-app purchases. However, since tipping is not listed in

It's hard to see this appeal going anywhere. The app store guidelines even explicitly mention this use case as one that requires in-app purchases to be used. > Apps may use in-app purchase currencies to enable customers to “tip” the
