This looks good. I've been using mdn mostly; but I usually go deep into CSS for a bit then leave it for long periods of time. That said, what has replaced SASS? I'm struggling to find a preprocessor that allows nesting/grou

This sounds really bad, but I know nothing of the other side of the story. It's been a couple of years since I used freenode. I worked up some tests for Stripe integration, and followed a developer of something or other and bought hi

Is it still an issue if you are married/carrying on like a heterosexual family and your homosexuality is a secret? That was the important part of your clearance eligibility before: that someone can get leverage on you. Likely the hom

I'm ok with subscriptions as long as I get to keep the latest version forever. I'm not ok with being locked out of my work when I can no longer pay for the subscription. Now if I'm working for someone else, then sure! But,

It reminds me of the "Happy Fun Ball" ad parody on SNL years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmqeZl8OI2M

Once again (I'm getting hoarse from shouting this): Ads are fine. Having ads where I am looking at something because I am interested in it is fine. Tracking me is not. Are we talking ad-tech, or tracking-tech?

That's a slow change. That's not so bad. What's happening today seems to be deliberate change to recast ideas (and people) in a particular light for the purposes of persuasion or even deceit.

It bothers me that the re-purposing of words is getting so pervasive. It's good that people like you spot it and call it out.

It seems obvious that AWS simply doesn't want you as a customer if you need to implement spending limits. We've all talked about having customers that were too much trouble for the value they bring. Customers with hard spending

Agree. As I said upthread, I'm sitting in Salem MA right now.

I'm sitting in Salem, MA, right now. It probably depends on where you live.

I use it too for first thoughts about the project. It is also a decent reference. But once the project has a "personality" the UML goes away pretty much. And only the complex stuff needs the UML. The simple patterns are comple

Barracudas can freak you out because they seem to be curious. They just hang out and watch you. The only time I've heard of someone getting bitten was on a YouTube sailing channel where the group was making fun of one of the crew for

Exactly. Yes, cave diving is extremely dangerous. Deep diving also is dangerous. But there are dives, amazingly beautiful dives, that, while not devoid of risk, are very safe. Simple, shallow dives in the Caribbean, for example, where t

I don't understand why Google, who is apparently competing with Roku with Chromecast, would try to "help" Roku fix a worse user experience? My Spidey sense tells me there's more to it than just trying to fix the Roku UX

Or, they may be watching what Apple is doing and seeing that working off of the Apple platform puts them at risk somehow. IOW, because of Apple's reputation they may be looking to hedge against a possible change in terms. That may hav

(I only scanned the article) Saying "no"— attacking new ideas— is a habit that a lot of people acquire in meatspace, too. It's easy to sound smart by attacking others' ideas, because you can invent untested scenarios ad

I didn't hear that it was a level 4 lab. Those are for the viruses deemed most severe. Plenty of work goes on at other labs- at least in the US. Not sure about China. Maybe you can enlighten me.

The only issue here is that lab safety protocols may have to be tightened up in the lab responsible. Scientists mutate things in the lab all the time in order to have a tool for effective study. If this came from a lab, then it would be t

Indeed. The abused spouse syndrome. Although that's probably a more apt name for when you believe the same company for the nth time.
