Yeah, I get your point. In fairness-- most of the work involved in making a decent report is the same work the fixer would have to do anyway, except it's much easier for the reporter to do it since the fixer cannot read the reporter&#x

World's easiest problem to solve if we just get the political will to do so: Pass a law requiring a human being to sign off in "writing" (can be eSigned through an internal moderation platform) on any ad that will be run that

A great way to make the bug report better would be to remove jQuery from the equation and see if it still repros. The smaller the test case the better.

I apologize if it sounded like a "hard requirement". In fact, I have no affiliation with firefox, so obviously this is no requirement of any kind, soft, hard, or medium, just random advice from a random guy. The question is "

Agreed. Do a lot more investigation, including creating a minimal test case, carefully reading MDN to be sure the behavior isn't expected (and you should parse the docs to be able to state precisely what the intended behavior and outpu

Yeah, this is called bundling and is a standard part of pretty much everyone's npm build pipeline. Look into webpack or iirc esbuild. You can accomplish this with a dozen or so lines of npm build configuration and now that you know wha

You are probably unaware of this, but most foreign countries also have governments that enforce laws. It's not just an American thing, believe it or not. Hope this helps. Take care now.

You get used to the stairs. They're good for you. That little extra workout everyday increases the floor of how lazy your lazy days can be. Huge cardiovascular benefit, especially for the laziest. Mine isn't dark. Pick good ones.

It's not weird. This is a libelous attack on someone's reputation, so spreading it more (even in a "look at this bullshit" context) could increase the harm. It's journalistic integrity, and it's what I would ex

Just use Signal. It's not 1999 anymore. Public key has been productized all over. When it warns you that someone's identity has changed, that's the time to double check out of band, because under the hood the public key chang

I would expect your description of Finnish values to be highly aligned with NYC values from my experience growing up near and living in NYC. How are they different if at all? (UK obviously is pretty different)

Usually yes. It's not that much complexity in and of itself, although how you use it could affect that (eg docker compose-- I prefer a big fat docker image to a fleet of interconected ones for the same reason static linking beats dynam

Townhouses can be as good as detached or even significantly better (due to no windows in between) if built "correctly" (good thick brick/concrete party wall in between both houses or can be awful just as you fear if they were

LOL. Being able to reverse transactions and freeze funds is a feature not a bug. With crypto you have no recourse when a criminal does criminal things or you make a mistake. Ransomware only started being a thing thanks to crypto, but gover

Ugh. Which will reduce their value to middle and working class families who could otherwise use strong educational values to help their kids rise, since getting a pile of 5s despite going to a mediocre public school will be less impressive.

A big difference you're missing is the I-95 corridor is linear, so you have huge pockets of density all close together along just one single highway / train line, which makes it easier to connect than randomly spread out. Philly i

Agreed, that's the one part that's not table stakes as not anyone can count on it. That's a nice to have and an aspiration. I almost called that out as a minor exception, but didn't because there's still something t

Not in the northeast. NYC, DC, Philly, Baltimore, Boston, New Brunswick, New Haven, Newark, etc -- I-95 forms a spine of density sufficient to support anything western Europe has -- if we were willing to do it.

So do automated canarying! Deploy to 1000 machines, wait 60 seconds, deploy to 10,000, etc. All done in under 5 minutes while automatically rolling back or at least halting if any metrics look bad. Canarying is by now not a very new practic

Oddly, I agree-- that section was just kind of an obvious hurried joke about the great food. I really did learn a lot of culinary ideas due to eating a lot of food I could have afforded in Manhattan, but normally would never have bought due
