Will be interesting which alliance they join. If they join Star Alliance and they truly will deliver on being a more premium airline I might try them out for a flight to Italy!

Seeing canvas used always makes me sad. Why can’t maps use SVG? If there are blockers for that, I’d rather see the web resolve those. canvas is a black box for screen readers, crawlers, the semantic web. You end up reimplementing a DOM anyw

The reality is that Apple’s Lightning cables don’t last forever anyway (some even say they have terrible durability) and hundreds are replaced every day somewhere in the world, on a cadence of every few years max. Introducing legislation me

There is definitely stuff that is non-standard, like the casting with :: in addition to CAST AS. But it's true that PSQL sticks very closely to the standard or only adds on top of it, while MySQL is very uncomformant. Funnily enough, I

I cannot comprehend why GitHub chose to let people define the form elements in YAML (!) instead of simply allowing <input>, <select> and <textarea> in Markdown. One of the most beautiful aspects of Markdown is that it supp

JavaScript engines like V8 can already do exactly as you said through hidden classes based on source code position and have been doing so for a long time. I haven't read any evidence that classes are actually better optimized, even if

Design tools are also severely lacking here. Even modern tools like Figma have no way to manage copy well (e.g. swap out copy for different "sets" of strings to test the design with variable-length translations). Heck, you can&#x2

+1 the point of their algorithm not putting sellers in the buy box that offer their product elsewhere cheaper is the problem they should absolutely be ruled to stop that practice by a court. Nobody can make an argument for how that is possi

I don't get why Amazon doesn't allow the customer to chose between multiple available shipping carriers. They do for returns, which is fantastic and one of the reasons I love buying on Amazon, because I can always chose to pick th

It depends on the context. A university degree in Informatik will obviously not be about using MS Office. But 7th grade Informatik is. 10th grade Informatik introduced programming at my school. A trained job “Fachinformatiker für Systemadmi

In Germany the equivalent field and degree is called “Informatics” (Informatik). I always felt weird about telling Americans I studied “computer science” because it sounds so dumbed down. It’s like how a 6 year old would describe it to some

If Microsoft could just bundle their Edge/Chromium renderer instead of their ancient WordHTML engine, or even the EdgeHTML engine of the previous Edge, they'd do the whole industry a huge favor. It's so frustrating their hold

Genuine question: I imagine most data science things involve arrays of numbers, not just single numbers. JS has UInt8Array, i.e. it does kinda have integers if you want them in an array anyway. Can that speed things up?
