I’m not that surprised tbh. A couple of years back the Chrome Dev Summit quiz did the same thing. I thought that was the joke (“haha, they’re requesting allanswers.json at startup”), and didn’t realize it was apparently unintentional until

It's amazing how many awful comments this is drawing. Is this just bots getting autotriggered on keywords or something?

Yeah. And payoff times are like 12-15 years. It sure doesn’t seem cheap here.

Since it’s (imo) default-wrong in English, I’ve chosen to think of it as a nice way to point devs to something that’s locale-aware like Intl.Collator instead. If it “just worked” in English, most of us would never think to use the correct u

There’s an accessibility feature called Screen Curtain that turns it off completely https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201443

I think they’re saying that TS won’t add the feature until JS does. Still kind of a strange take IMO, but makes a little more sense.

In this case, master is derived from a master/slave concept in BitKeeper, so it falls into your second category. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2019-May/...

For those of us here who receive stock compensation, you can donate that directly too! If the stock has long term capital gains, the tax savings can let you donate even more. https://www.aclu.org/gifts-stock

True. I wasn't sure how to interpret that section either. Compensation (or Total Compensation) might be a more interesting measure

I'll say that GetAround at least was great when the guy renting our car totaled it. Got the full value back, he was on the hook for the deductible and everything.

I’m about halfway through and also did my undergrad at GT. Overall I’ve been pretty disappointed. The lectures are just YouTube videos played through Udacity, and the quality has varied from okay to bad. TAs make a big difference, but the q

I think so. If you watch someone like Katie Ledecky, she breathes every 2 strokes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQU_VWBF1uw

The most recent Hardcore History episodes are about WWII from the perspective of Japan, and they’ve really opened my eyes a bit to just how much of their side of the story was left out of my education.

Stryker is a JS version. Google has some interesting whitepapers about their usage of mutation testing as well: https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub46584

At least a few years ago, when I was at Epic (not on a medical-user-facing team), the issue that caused this wasn't the data storage of the timestamps or whatever. It's figuring out how to display events during that repeated hour

Wow, I guess it has changed a lot since I took it in 2007ish. My recollection is that it was almost all theoretical, with only a little bit of tinkering with a toy game program as a practical bit.

Or you’d have to not have walked around downtown SF lately. It’s a rare day where I don’t see multiple self-driving cars.

The CSP info is a little off. Specifically, there are some directives of CSP (in this case frame-ancestors, the replacement for X-Frame-Options) that are specifically ignored if specified in a only <meta> tag. The header is the only w

This is super interesting. Seems like the real ruling is that the federal government can’t compel states to implement/enforce non-federal laws. I wonder if that will affect things like the drinking age...

If I had to guess, this site is super old. Using JQuery 1.7.1, Coffeescript, a bunch of script tags (no bundling, etc), calling CSS "CSS3" and including "HTML5" in the title, pre-iOS7-style icons, etc. Looks like somthin

Even that is probably overcomplicating it at this point. npm install —save-dev create-react-app. Done!

Most browsers already did, and some (not all) of the ES2015 stuff requires property ordering. Probably easier to just keep everything ordered since it could be needed by those methods.

Interesting to choose Epic as an example. In my exit interview there (leaving for SV), the whole interview was about how they could be more competitive when hiring against Google etc (obvious answers were vacation policies and equity, where

For HSTS, it’s based on the spec. There’s not supposed to be a user-accessible override for HSTS errors, which is why Chrome hides it behind that easter egg. Firefox has no override of any kind.
