I don't understand. Wouldn't it mean that you leave software used by millions of users to rot while you rewrite in your newer better stack? Not fixing bugs, holes and regressions? How would that make things better? Maybe you have

W3C HTML5 validator will issue a single warning for not having an openning html tag with the lang attribute. Other than that there are no errors. It is not breaking any standards. As sibling commented I would just add the html tag with the

I guess you're right. The lang attribute is useful. I'll add it to my personal template. I omitted the title, but it's a part of the content for me. This way I can use the simplest SSG there is: cat.

I hear you. But this battle is lost for a long time, isn't it? You already know, that if you allow CSS things will happen. I would personally not do this if browsers would have sensible defaults, but IMO they don't. Mostly it is a

Thanks! I didn't know about this, but it does make sense. Is there a way to limit the max-width of text without CSS?

I'm not doing anything complex enough for it to matter.

So the html looks as god intended on mobile devices. It became necessary, because web pages squeezed to mobile sizes were looking terrible with all those sidebars bent and excessive padding and margins. So Apple (I believe it was them) made

I expect this to become a thread of people sharing their preferences. I prefer something minimal, that I can almost remember and write by hand: <!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset=utf-8> <meta name=viewport content="wi

Indeed a good idea, but I would only hope it would have a reliable fail-safe, becaue it would be a little reverse GoldenEye.

In some jurisdictions you can make a copy (how to do this is another matter) for your own use, i.e. for backup in case the original medium got unplayable. So then the disk, the box and maybe the purchase confirmation acts as an unlimited ti

I hear you, but they would still say fuck it. They will not think of a proper mime type. What would it be? application/x-studio-game-texture-format-3 If one does not care enough with file extensions they will certainly not care with a

Could you trouble me with reasons? I for one just looked around what accessibility APIs are where and am thinking about a custom widget toolkit that would go from accessibility first down to typical graphical stuff. So if that's not a

I should start noting all those bugs, because I see them almost every day. But to be honest even "regular" web sites are guilty, especially with ctrl/cmd-click.

It's like with C or C++. Most people that do write it shouldn't, because they are not good enough or the process is broken and they will shoot their leg. SPAs are the same way, because you have to implement all those normal websit

Every single day I see my wife and relatives struggle with modern computing. Not to say that previously it was much better, but web applications are increasingly different between each other in the way they work. They are not tech savvy, bu

I hoped that designers learned something and decided to stop the war against their users. I did not hold my breath. To clarify I have nothing against actual web applications like an image editor or a game. However a wiki (I don't appre

What I found better than calls, at least with my wife, is Zello - a walkie-talkie-over-IP-app. What seems to work for me is that the talk over it feels natural. Like you're shouting something from other room. It is synchronous and asyn

You should also think in terms of CPU caches.

I hear you, but a compositor could be multi-process - it was not yet done, but in time it will be.

To a layman none or almost none direct benefits. But there are non-direct benefits like those listed by sibling comments. However it will, in longer term, simplify work for developers, while in short term it will be or rather it is a compl

Wouldn't DD-WRT mean a Wi-Fi router? You can get coverage a few hundred meters from the location?

From what I've read it's 4 times more expensive than the absolute top consumer connection here (8.5 Gbps fiber). So for some considerable future: not in my country.

What's a fundamental feature for C++ then, if not RAII? GC may not be the fundamental feature of Java the language, but it is certainly a fundamental feature of JVM.

I never went far with it. When I was more into gamedev I was one of those wasting time on trying to write a generic engine instead of just writing the damn game. My initial tests with just the mouse look were promising. I did a lousy game f

Soldat had a realistic game mode were it was like that. It also included ghosts of players if you would hear steps or them shooting. I also wanted to do a realistic top down 2d shooter. My gimmick was to have akimbo guns and mouse look - vi

It would be interesting to generate HTML as an output. This way it could inline text files, images (data URI), videos, audio and other files as <a href="data:application/octet-stream;base64,... download="filename.ext"
