   Someone I knows knows someone who worked in the second WTC building to be hit. After the first strike, their employer's plan was for everyone to stay in place, but they got the heck out of there. Saved their life.

   More like: //alert('DEBUG: SomeFunction: condition is TRUE'); Then, depending on what browser I'm debugging in, the post-processor changes that to either console.log, document.title=, or alert( :)

   As far as browsers go, when visiting my own trusted sites, I don't worry too much about vulnerabilities. Most of the vulnerabilities are also JavaScript-driven, which is optional on my sites. On the server side, of course, I use stuff

    A classic example is sleeping. I've met many people who were trained to feel guilty for sleeping, because it is "unproductive". In reality, while you sleep, your cells get busy revitalizing your body, preparing for productivi

    I think the idea of a metaphor is that it is not literal, do you not agree?

    I comment on nojs matters often, and I've found that a lot depends on my tone and writing style. If I'm terse and rude, I definitely get downvotes. If I'm verbose and explain my points, it's less likely, though still pos

    Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you think it's stupid. I make some exceptions, and Canvas may be one of them in the future. It's not a hard limit, more like a guideline. I want to make stuff that lasts at least as long,

    The benefits are calculable, but the consequences of abuse are unpredictable, and if someone has crossed your boundary once, you don't know how far they will go. With the abusive relationship example, if someone's gone as far as s

    With a bit of squirming around, I've been able to write for Netscape2+/IE3+ and today's Chrome (and everything in between) at the same time.

    I should clarify, I meant stuff that's remained stable without many breaking changes for 20 years.

    I avoid adding anything less than 20 years stable to my "stack". It's proven and stable, it's bound to have a wide install base, and there is 20+ years worth of knowledge on the web for every issue I may happen to run in

    In the end, someone has to host the content. Building a decentralized web puts the choice whether to enable and propagate whatever content in the hands of the user, rather than the "cloud". I think that's a good thing.

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I forgot I'd done this already (already had a message from them in my history), but it will probably be helpful for anyone else. I've added it to my KB.

    Two-prong approach: Make it easy to avoid them, and easy to do something else. Don't bring any refined sugar foods into the house. Make fruits available easily. Don't have tobacco around. Make it so I'm always ready to go on
