I have to admit, I couldn't name one javascript "feature" on the site other than one that incessantly pops up when you mouse-over links. Which I find highly irritating, but ultimately useful. I have a definite hate/lov

Devil's advocate: The same could be said for a baby buggy. Filthy things, taking up all that space. Noisy too! And those inconsiderate people with their luggage trying to get the airport. And don't get me started on old people wit

I really hate it when a site will allow you create a password with more than 20 characters, but then silently truncates it on the server. I wish I could remember an example, but it slips my mind. So if you ever find yourself having trouble

I'd love to volunteer for the scripting language but I only have about 10 days. And I'm not very bright. But that's ok since it's unlikely to get much adoption. How does Scripty McScriptface sound for the name?

Does anyone have a view on air ionisers and their usefulness with regards to mood? From what I gather, commercial units are sold based on how well they remove odours but nothing much is mentioned about mood elevation. Can the benefit be had

Have you tried tubeless? I've run them on mountain bikes for yonks, and have now done so on my (non-racing) road bike for about 2 years now with very few complaints. (My race-race bike is fitted with tubs) They can be messy, but I&#x27

The problem is it's a "a privately operated citation processing center" that's causing the problem. They might even be instructed to hand-enter a NULL for these cases. I'm don't really see an incentive for the

Ok, fair enough. But then does that lead to a "fatal error" of some sort? I'm curious because I find AMP page quite buggy. ie. not loading at all. Or loading, then reloading a blank page. And thought maybe these were the &quo

I count 185 "try" statements with only 162 "catch". I don't know much about javascript, but could someone explain what happens with the 20 that don't get caught? Do they bubble up and get caught by another &quo

There is something deeply satisfying to me when a non-technical solution (sending a postcard) is used to solve what could be seen as a purely technical problem. But I suppose it depends on which department is in charge of the project. In th

Google "Siberian Maldives" and you'll see just how devolved humans seem to be these days. Granted, "kids these days" have always been a bit daft, but the race to the bottom is really picking up speed.

I'll admit it is pretty fast. Assuming you are using a mouse. But keyboard navigation is non-existent. So you have to ask yourself is it worth it to go against decades of effort put in to standard web navigation for what gain? Obviousl

Shipping container offices are all the rage these days. Have you considered using them? I mean, if they're ok to work out of - legally and safely - then why not live in one? It would certainly cut down on the construction costs.

This reminds me of a quandary we found ourselves in when my company first started selling on the Amazon Marketplace. We produce & sell art prints. We had just signed a new supplier of images (a well-known auction house) who decided to r

You can crop the ends of a ride, but not the middle. My guess is OP was cycling to the train station, took a 60mph train ride, then cycled the rest of the way. Wanting to clip out the middle bit. And I don't think Strava can do that. B

They also have (had?) a "surprise me" menu. An incredible experience to be sure. Highly recommended to anyone. I couldn't guess the main dish in the end. (spoiler) It was shark!

I understand what you are saying, but that's optimising for the 10% of time you aren't using the chair. In the software world I would have to question the wiseness of that decision. But I wouldn't erase from the whiteboard wi

I noticed this one a few weeks back when I was at the shops. There seemed to be a weird crane-line contraption hidden in the woods where I knew there was a creek or canal. Thinking it had something to do with canal boats I wanted to have a

Absolutely! I would say 90% isn't high enough when you consider the amount of time reviewing pull requests on a large team. Add to that the reading required when deciding on an external library (yes, some people simply use only popular

Surely the 10¢ discount should be for the people who _don't_ bring their own cup. But since it's a small shop I assume the 10¢ "fee" is to subsidise the dishwashing labour.

https://picsum.photos?id=237&w=200&h=300 would be the simplest way to do it. Any url rewriting on top is syntactic sugar. I'm surprised it hasn't been written this way from the start, with the url rewriting on

A professor of mine at university taught us the same thing. It's one of the most valuable things I learned and it is uncannily accurate. Even after 30 years in industry I still fall back on this formula with great results. Sadly, manag

This is the correct answer! IMHO. A perfect solution that strikes the balance between an engineer's unrelenting desire for correctness and the marketing departments seemingly irrational need for perceived progress.

And PLEASE don’t break the keyboard with your bespoke (buggy) reinvention of html. Specifically Ctrl-F and the back button. Oh, and <select>s. I could go on but it’ll just make me sound grumpy.

Sure, junior devs will usually outpace senior devs (especially looking at LOC). But in the end, did they produce robust, reliable, fault-tolerant code that is easy to understand, extend and most importantly delete? I'd like to hear mor
