Yes. Growing up in a non-US country, almost every website I interacted with or was advertised was the TLD of my home country. It was incredibly rare to see global TLDs. It usually implied it was a multi-national company, and even those ofte

I get that XML is not cool anymore but JSON is really a terrible language to define user interfaces. This smells like using JSON for the sake of using JSON. There's a reason why JSX (basically XML in JS) is so popular and not some JSON

The nice thing about MHTML is that compared to just a ZIP of files it is fully plain text and includes HTTP headers so that everything can be rendered the exact same way a browser would when served from a server. The headers can store addit

Adobe Acrobat is what made PDF a security nightmare. The browser sandbox is by far the most secure execution environment we have.

Maybe some day for some papers HTML could be the source of truth instead of LaTeX. After all, the original use case for HTML and the web was academics. The HTML and CSS specs have evolved a lot since then, with support for the typesetting f

The reason why you have to write HTML like it's 1999 has nothing to do with "the email spec" not having evolved. The MIME RFCs are perfectly capable of supporting modern HTML and even any alternative representation (that&#x27

iCloud Files is the only major cloud file syncing service that is e2e encrypted afaik. Was my reason to migrate over from OneDrive (especially since I was already using Apple devices and paying for iCloud for photos anyway).

This is untrue. Most American cities were built before the car and even had wide streetcar networks. Buildings and (often poor and black) neighborhoods were torn down to make way for urban highways. Car manufacturers literally bought up str

That's how you get almost every regular car to use Diesel like in Germany, which are much cheaper for fuel, but way worse for air quality in cities.

The Audi A6 comes in both a sedan and wagon (hatch back) variant (named "Avant"), I would assume saiya-jin was referring to the wagon variant. The only wagon variants sold in the US are the "allroad quattro" variant and

Electric bikes are speed-limited by law so that they are actually usually slower than what I'd ride a manual bike when I'm in a hurry. > Do they belong in streets, along with cars? No, the rider is at great risk. You could equa

VS Code has always had vertical tabs. It actually launched without horizontal tabs support and only added it due to community pressure. The reason was that VS Code/Monaco was originally designed to run in the browser, and the VS Code t

For as long as I remember, my mail in Germany has been delivered by bicycle. Not ebikes, just bicycles with some small extra wheels so delivery persons could quickly stop, hop off, walk to residential mailboxes to throw in mail, and hop on

What exactly do you mean with violating statelessness? Most web apps have state on the server, i.e. cookie sessions. The UI state doesn't have to be state on the server though, that can still be in memory in JS and/or part of the

What HTML document from 10 or 20 years ago does not still render in a modern browser? Modern browsers are extremely good to maintaining backwards compatibility at all costs (aka "don't break the web"), to the degree many on

I applaud you for this. I think MathML (which has gotten much better in browsers, thanks to Igalia[1]) is a much better bet we have to make this possible than LaTex compiling to PDF. [1] https://mathml.igalia.com/

I really wish browsers would support this for `contenteditable` (even without the tail, just having some way to put the cursor in either position, maybe based on from what direction the cursor is coming from). Slack's message editor

Winters in Germany are cold, period. Source: I'm German and live in California now. Not a surprise to me that homes here don't have any heating at all, unthinkable in Germany. Old people would literally die. I have memories of whe

Germany also uses electric stoves for cooking more than gas. An electric stove uses 2000-5000W. The grid handles everyone turning on their stove around the same times fine. Maybe heaters will have to run on top of that, but likely most won&

A nuclear plant that doesn't explode, that is. Pretty sure Tschernobyl released more radiation than a coal plant over its lifetime. Probably more than all coal plants in Germany in their lifetime combined.

The current plan I believe is to only run them until they run out of their current fuel. No new fuel was a "hard line" drawn by the green party to agree to extending at all.

And the answer’s probabilities are not equally distributed! For example for the color of the house you grew up in, there are clearly most common colors and rare colors. If they asked for house number, it would have been better.
