OT: Check out that layout! Chrome 46/OS X took >4s to resolve the boxes, borders, and positions in steps making it look like a low-frame animation. The HTML is just shy of 300 lines but apparently tables with styles on every cell ca

Currently you can deal with strictness using Bang Patterns. The addition of Strict and StrictData with -XStrict simply lets module writers cut down on that noise and communicates intent. It isn't meant to change or split the language

I held off upgrading to iOS 8 for a long time out of fear that my iPhone 5 would slow to a halt; when it had to be replaced for an expanding battery I got it back with the upgrade and was pleasantly surprised at how well it performed. I too
