There is no way this new law actually protects little guys. All the exemptions for small platforms go away once that platform exists for 3 years. After that you turn into another Google and Facebook. So is the EU somehow expecting a new mar

Clueless twats. I will look up all who voted for this farce and let them know individually it will haunt them for the rest of their political career. No forgiveness for kneecapping free expression in return for some lobbyist euros and prete

How do I do gestures on a mouse? Example: drag a file, 3 finger swipe to different desktop, drop file. Done by holding a button that doesn't exist, but which you forget isn't there. Cos the driver is that good. I prefer being able

Tbh it seems like a pretty big jerk move to think that just because you give someone feedback, they should do what you say or otherwise they're jerks. Aspies are often told they have done something wrong, only to find that others can g

A while back I saw a coworker virtue signal about the parallels between tech and nursing. There were gender problems in both, and it was the same cause, he said. Except, it's not the same cause at all, it's just the same blame. Wa

Is the situation any better in guaranteed blue states? California seems like a perfect example of government overreach and wasteful spending that enables the exact same abuse that supposedly only greedy capitalists engage in. Is the high sp

Protonmail has been a huge disappointment personally. It took days of trying to get my email in over the IMAP bridge, and now it still has weird spazzes where it will suddenly decide to redownload all my 30k emails, effectively making all i

Because it works and isn't a usability nightmare like most everything else you mentioned.

Except MathJax isn't the bar to beat, it's Katex which doesn't rely on a measurement of DOM layout.

Weird that people complain about a product line that was discontinued and replaced with a superficially similar one lacking most of the selling points of the previous model? If Windows wasn't still an inconsistent and dysfunctional POS

It's going to sound elitist but it's kinda obvious: the old internet was predominantly youngish STEM academics and tech professionals. I.e. smart people. It also created a lot of tribal alignment which meant that serious moral and

A PPP still leaves the public with a piece of infrastructure whose profits they have not been able to realize and cannot reinvest. The "future maintenance" also tends to have a sunset period. Neoliberal schemes like this impoveris

It absolutely is. By appealing to nicety, you can screw people over subtly enough that it doesn't register to observers as offense, and then act offended yourself when you get pushback. You can also add in some fundamental attribution

Strange times when the woke left is arguing that someone deserved it because of what they were wearing... The Covington case was naked woke hysteria, there is no way around it. Particularly because even after the details came out, people we

It's easy. The text is marked up, mixed in with images, video and other miscellaneous rich content, and includes remote resources and third party embeds. There is no native UI toolkit that can do this properly, nor is there a cross pla

I'm going to avoid installing Windows 10 for as long as possible, so I hope this never takes off. No offense.

Talking shit about people behind their back is not abuse. At most it can be libel/slander, of which none of your examples qualify. She's also not a particularly worthy example, given her meltdown at that tennis tournament, for whi

This is what React actually lets you do... It just also acknowledges that UI components must be sufficiently typed and coded that they can accept lambdas as properties in order to provide the expressivity needed. Template languages must be

Nobody but Google or Apple can push through meaningful changes to software anymore, at least on mobile, and in many ways on the desktop too. Is anyone surprised all we get is more dumb devices whose brains are in a data center?

It's easy: better, and less, content. The internet makes it that they don't need to fill pages and pages every day just to be tossed into the trash bin. A year old article can still be valuable, and it can be augmented with additi

i.e. "Bottle deposits. You've invented bottle deposits." A quick Google shows that the US is one of the few developed countries where this is not widespread and has been lobbied against. Here there's automated collection

To add to your last bit: the fact that "absolute" is relative to the closest non-"static" parent is a sign that things aren't as decoupled as they seem. Same with how "overflow" mixes scrolling and clippin

Depends if you include the current mob of professional bloggers in there, because they sure outnumber the real journalists. They're really just word laborers, as they constantly have to produce fresh content to draw in new clicks. Unli

I understand the lawmakers decided the anti corruption bodies should not be granted any access to the powers it offers. Really, that says enough about how threatening they consider them to be, don't you think?

The new MBP is like the Air: a whole bunch of unproven assumptions in a new product category. They should've called it the Macbook Touch and let people decide for themselves if they wanted to give up on ports, keys and magsafe. The 201
