IE6 was irrelevant because it stagnated. Microsoft did nothing with it for years, and pulling support was just sometimes necessary for people like Google who wanted to build apps that pushed the web to new capabilities. Firefox in contrast

I think many people would prefer bad news like this in an email. I know this was a long (!) hiring process and the willingness to tell someone to their face is noble, but I imagine it might be both unexpected in a Zoom call and hard to proc

Steve Jobs didn’t just waltz into Xerox PARC and steal a glimpse at the Alto. That visit was heavily lawyered and PARC got Apple shares as compensation. To summarize this as “stealing” is just incorrect. Lazy work.

The chart of book sales, covering just seven years, shows four increases and two declines, with revenue ending up below 2021 in the most recent period. So they have not been “rising year over year.” (The figures for 2027 are obviously proje

I love this sort of nitty gritty article with good details. That said it would be more convincing if the writer followed the maxim of Chesterton’s Fence: if design-build is a better process than design-bid-build, why was the latter law crea

I thought “HTML over the wire” was literally what the web has always been about from the very start. Even if you redefine “the wire” to “XHR requests” or “Ajax requests” it’s still weird to treat this as a revolutionary thing since the “X”

Worthless for some use cases but there are reasons to run Mac-on-Mac vms, including testing, development, and security (isolation). The first two also apply to some folks (maybe not many) for Linux VMs.

You're blaming the lack of a spec for all the wasted time but that's not the cause. The cause is that CSV is popular and is popular because it is incompletely defined. (See also: HTML, RSS.) Making a CSV spec post-hoc solves not

If I didn’t want people to encrypt mail to my pgp key I would simply not upload it to a public pgp key directory. Honestly, what is the complaint here? If you don’t want people to use certain contact info don’t put it on the open internet.
