Why wouldn't it be? It uses Chromium (via QtWebEngine) by default.

Good luck automating the part where you convince people it's worth something.

An example would be good, but I think hypertele-Xii's point isn't about what engines can handle, but about where engine developers are (and aren't) spending their money and time, and what they're making easy for users to

What do you mean by this? I can't think of a part of my life where I use photographs, where someone in a different time would have used paintings.

> Anything with a REST api or JSON doesn’t have native support for Decimals This is a very slight nitpick (that might be wrong) but I think it's perfectly in line with the JSON specification to interpret JSON numbers as decimals.

That works well in Haskell, which turns literals into rationals (pairs of big integers) and calls an overloaded function fromRational on them implicitly. But Python can't do this kind of inference to give you a nice syntax, so I think

Why do you say that "most of the time... you really want a decimal"? I can't think of any situation where I'd prefer a decimal.Decimal over an ordinary float, except for the textbook example of dollars and cents. In most

True, the title does feel misleading, but I don't know how they could make it less misleading while conveying the same information. At least they mention in the article that "gay and bisexual men are still more impacted by HIV rel

Like I said, I don't know about Marx, and I don't know what he means by "the means of communication". But for one thing, it seems (from the paragraph above the line you quoted) that he views this as a necessary and tempo
