I don't think the output from this tool is necessarily non-compliant with other browsers. Their home page doesn’t even render correctly in Firefox.

For me the big reason I switched is the first two. Installing locally to a single path makes for a lot less messy filesystem, and I don’t have to go admin to use it. Also frankly, Chocolatey’s repos have become a mess, full of broken and un

Not to mention the effect of neighborhood re: nearby shopping options. I've lived in very poor and fairly rich neighborhoods, and the difference in quality of local grocery stores is dramatic. There are chains I didn't realize eve

Nigel Farage is a media-created bogey man, a hack to the system of “equal time”. He isn’t actually representative of anyone, even his own useless party, as polls and election results have consistently shown.

This was my first reaction too, especially after the line about “figuring out how to pay him more without having him lose access to different low-income programs for which he currently qualifies.” But they get into the actual wages below, a

You really think a Microsoft browser is going to track you less ? The same company whose entire OS is deliberately riddled with spyware and tracking, and even managed to sneak telemetry into an open source code editor?

The designs for a company web site I'm working on now are targeting a 2K screen as the default viewport. So yes, we are.

That's because it's a Thinkpad. The T-series had been the Red Hat company issue laptop for years, and has had boatloads of internal support as a result. You're right in that a Thinkpad will mostly work out of the box long as

Nobody is forcing you to use them, and you can still use a library written in Reason from OCaml, and vice versa. You really should go read up about this, because the actual answer is far more complicated than advertised. Hell, the Ocaml i

No one did this for Python. People still complain about it, but somehow, it became one of the most popular languages on the planet. And how is it welcoming to newcomers to essentially be upfront asking them "right, now which syntax wil

If Reason uses == to represent OCaml's =, and uses === to represent OCaml's ==, then how would Reason represent OCaml's === symbol (if it were defined)? Reason provides a way! "Escape" the triple equals symbol! Ye

Reason compiles to Ocaml, yes. Does Facebook actually want you to just use Ocaml? Sure doesn't seem that way to me. Facebook is pushing their own tool, and their own libraries to go with it. Interoperability between Reason, Bucklescrip

So ReasonML is actually a Javascript-like syntax for OCaml, and its tool-chain converts Reason code to OCaml, which then uses a tool called Bucklescript to convert that OCaml to Javascript. All because some people just have to have their

Seriously, having html represented as an actual tree structure that can be manipulated like any other data is so absurdly powerful it made it impossible to go back to anything else after that. Even JSX feels like a crude hack by comparison

The only reason this is even an issue is because Linux distros insist on clinging to dynamic linking absolutely everything, out of some outdated 90s-era assumptions about disk conservation, and package availability. Because often in those d

This release is particularly exciting because it’s the first to include the Fedora Modularity feature across all our different variants. Modularity lets us ship different versions of packages on the same Fedora base. This means you no long

There's Helsinki Times, which is about the only Finnish news media in English that even attempts to report on the bad side of Finnish politics. So much of the English language media here is just stories about "Wow, isn't Finl

True, but that makes it all the more weird that they'd delete them in the first place. It's like they wanted to remove any evidence they were involved at all. The only remaining indication is the domain, and their iOS app that&#x2

There's more to at-will employment than just "unemployment kinda sucks." At-will employment is the reason there's no real workers' rights in the US. If the employer can fire you at any time on a whim and for no reas

That was fast. Not only has the list been yanked from hosting, but Juvander Consulting, who was responsible for it, has deleted the Facebook page for the list, and all mention of it from their site, even scrubbing old blog entries about it.

If you do not stand with all workers, you will be divided, and fall. That's what solidarity means. I have a cushy tech job, with a big company, so the recent attempted changes probably won't affect me at all. But if they can go af

Here in Finland, this does happen, yes. But the larger problem is "gray money"; everyone goes to the same business parties and sauna retreats (expenses paid of course), is friends with everyone. more recently there's the nove

Honestly, I liked my time with the Vive, but what finally sold me was Windows MR. For only 300€ I bought an Acer WMR headset with better res than the Vive, no funky sensor setup required, and no fiddle adjustments needed to get it to focus

I'd just as soon use Bandcamp honestly. Steam's attempts at media sales have been awful. Videos are broken and often won't play, music is usually just a handful of MP3s buried deep in the Steam folders.

Thanks to Steam I haven't bothered to pirate a PC game in nearly a decade. Thanks to Google Play, Spotify, and Bandcamp, the same can be said for music. Only TV and film really holds out. I just can't get my favorite shows in any

Medians are a meaningless statistic in a country with such a massive gap between top and bottom earners. The ratio of income bracket to income growth is literally a hockey stick graph: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics
