There's nothing wrong with static HTML/CSS/JS. There's also nothing wrong with a rich SPA. And again, there's nothing wrong with using some kind of dynamic server-side HTML/CSS/JS presentation (like WordPr

The fact that this article exists actually makes me sad. When did we as a society give up our privacy for such a small amount of convenience? Or has it been gradually chipped away until we have reached this point? I feel sorry for my childr

Firstly, it was "low to medium" risk, not "low" risk. Secondly, pretty much any reputable ETF (or combination of ETF's) can quite easily achieve this over 30 years.

I guess it would depend how compelling the signal was. If it's just rogue radio waves with seemingly intelligent structure that the average person cannot understand, then the reaction would likely be "Yeah, right. Again". If

Generally speaking, multi-display monitor support is a mess on Linux (especially if you so anything slightly out of the ordinary). KDE honestly seems the best for this, although on the latest version of GNOME has fractional scaling availabl

Awesome! If it's a hobby, who cares about the platform. Have fun and learn stuff. This reminds me of being a kid, and always having the "hacker" mentality. Use whatever you have available to make something awesome. I remember

Yes thanks. A little rusty on the old PHP knowledge off the top of my head.

Union types look somewhat handy, especially if you're using T|null In PHP 7, you can still do function foo(string $bar = null): void Which is a little clunky...

I believe there were attempts at implementing JIT in PHP 7 which were unsuccessful against the timeline for release. Instead, they did other optimizations and managed to squeeze quite a bit of performance doing this (comparable to HHVM).

The argument is still kind of the same. What benefits does this have (aside from developer preference) over using flat out C/C++? What is the performance like using the DSL in Haskell?

Great points, thanks.

Trying to keep an open mind here about this - but what does Haskell offer on an _arduino_ aside from developer preference? Surely C/C++ will be the better performer on such a tiny board... And usually you want to squeeze every drop of

I'm saying it operates as mobile users have learnt to use over the past decade (and how the rest of the OS UI works).

The old version opened with the text fully selected. You could either type a query and overwrite the text, edit the url, or tap and hold to get... Low and behold, copy and share. The only thing they have added is confusion and behavorial co

Okay I didnt see that. But why is this necessary? What was wrong with the text box that opened what you would expect - the box filled out with the url of the page you are on? In my opinion this is still a gentle push to encourage users to j

I opened Chrome on a friends phone (first time on Chrome mobile in years) and was shocked to see the url bar is no longer editable. It just gave me a weird context menu with a copy icon. I guess they really want to funnel everyone through s

If Firefox pushes this before implementing support for extensions (namely uBlock or other ad-blocking / privacy extensions) then Firefox is well and truly toast on Android. Correct me if I am wrong but the only reason non-tech people u

So what would you call the application of the compiler enforcing non-race condition patterns of it's not a "race checker"? It's still there. It's just a compile-time "race checker", not runtime.
