I am going out on a limb, I don't think the behavior in the article is "simply" misogyny like with the programmer you mention, i.e. attacking women in techy jobs, it's more like sexual harassment by guys who don't h

No, I have Flash disabled, both on Windows and on MacOS. Developer tools are a resource drain, but bearable - the browser simply gets slower after a couple of hours of use. And then much slower, like unbearably slow, even the developer edit

It pains me to say, but I'd rather Mozilla used all their man-power to fix the god-awful performance of desktop Firefox. Granted, I have a lot of pages and tabs open, more than 20 at any given time. But I fail to understand why that le

And there's the added problem of the well-established correlation between body size and longevity. If we scaled down to cat size, it is reasonable to expect we'd die at 50 instead of 80, even taking our outsize longevity factor in

Maybe embracing the system and its physical constraints instead of fighting it would help, in that case using something like swype that is both fast and completely different from typing (makes it easier to transition). At least that worked

I think that guy is seriously wrong, not every hidden part of a user interface is evil. The hamburger menu tells the user that he will find the first-level navigation if he taps it. It is about as bad as a right-click context menu on the de

I dunno. What happens in case of a crash? If a vehicle burns on the PV panels? You don't want to pour water on a PV installation. And a road built from glass? What happens in winter with ice forming? That's not going to go well.
