I was specifically talking about Servo as a rendering engine. Just open their own website in Servo, and look for all the rendering problems present :)

Quote from the post: > In a decade that many people feared would become the nadir of browser engine diversity, we hope we can help change that with Servo. I sure hope so! It might be a good thing that Servo is now independent from Mozill

I only have some annecdotal stories, from a friend who grew up in Croatia and then had to flee during the Yugoslavia war, where one of the parents is Serbian and the other is Albanian. The stories are both from his childhood (being pushed i

I assume users must still be able to send messages from different devices, just by entering their login data into a new Messenger client. According to their paper, they are doing client fan-out: "Messenger uses this "client-fanou

I talked to the electrician about using a CEE16 connector to charge the car. He said that this should only be done if you don't load it near its max (16A) for long periods of time. He's seen multiple CEE16 connectors that deformed

Another recent example: I'm in Switzerland. I paid 550 CHF (630$) this summer for a "go-e Gemini" charger. I screwed it to the wall and ran a roughly 15m 3-phase 16A cable to the main fuse box (maybe around 50 CHF for cable a

When I watch a video like the demo-video for the Krita plugin we're discussing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QDPEcVmdLI ), I do see a lot of creativity happening. The person is using stable diffusion as a tool to ac

Yes, but - at least in landscape photography - there was a divide between people using retouching to "fix" things (i.e. removing spots, making the colors more realistic, etc) and the people altering the style of the photo (e.g. by

Why is that the case? Tools like OpenCL do exist, but I assume CUDA is simply better suited for these tasks, is that true? (With the dominance of CUDA, choice of a GPU on Linux gets even harder. It used to be a clear "fuck you Nvidia&q

That's an interesting point. Retouching a photo after taking it used to be "manipulating reality", frowned upon by "real" photographers. Nowadays, postprocessing digital negatives and adding your own style to it is

If you have lots of money and like fancy rings, sure, go for it! If you just finished your college, sit on a big pile of student loans, work in your first job and then spend several months of income on a shiny rock, then that is a bad finan

Ah, thanks, that is indeed an aspect I was not aware of. From my point of view, it doesn't change much about the cost-value-ratio though.

The decent restaurant is a good example: For the price of a 9000$ diamond ring, you can eat a fancy dinner at a 300$ restaurant every year for the next 30 years of your marriage. And the money is probably spent much better that way. You&#

Yup, but you need to reference the commit ID, meaning that you always need to create two commits, one for the reformatting, and a second one for updating the .git-blame-ignore-revs file. Additionally, you may not use git rebase, or any othe

I, as a European, cannot fathom how anyone would spend a significant amount of money on an engagement ring! The engagement rings we got ourselves cost 18$ and were made from wood. After all, they only need to last a few months, or maybe 1-2

Just as an example: Our eslint checks take 2 minutes to complete. Improving this would considerably improve developer productivity.

Occasionally batch-fixing syntax makes "git blame" far less useful.

In that case the developer could explicitly move focus to something that makes sense in the context of the application flow.

Of course the submission needs to be handled separately ( if a <form> tag is being used). But that's not the point. The semantics for a disabled button are much clearer: You indicate that the button cannot be pressed (because it

If accessibility tools remove the focus from the disabled button and focus the document instead when a button is disabled, wouldn't this be a problem of the accessibility tool in the first place? Even just focussing the parent element

by dbrgn 3y ago
That depends on whether it's actually a classic HTML <form>, or whether it's just a collection of input fields submitted through JavaScript. And of course, if you disable the button, you could prevent duplicate form submissi

My wife and I managed to buy (half) a house (from the 1800s) this year, in Switzerland, considerably below 1M. It's in a rural area though (30 km from Zürich), and without central heating (tiled wood stove instead). I guess it depends

One effect of this was that big companies and pension funds were desperate for some way to park their money. This lead to the situation that they would build lots of new appartment buildings in metropolitan areas that would remain empty for

If you can manage the risk of rising interest rate, then SARON isn't a bad choice. At least in the past, sticking to LIBOR/SARON was the cheapest option on average. But of course, if you can't handle the risk of rate increase

Even with a CLA in place, you can still fork, improve and sell Synapse / Dendrite (or derivatives of it), as long as you follow the AGPL.
