What I meant is that, in the areas that are not well standardized, and where the browsers don't agree with each other, who is to say that Chrome is right and that Firefox is the one being incompatible/non-conformant? In this sense

Furthermore, I think the meaning of these numbers is a bit hard to grasp because the three numbers are not and cannot be independent from each other. Just as a thought experiment, imagine you saw Chrome/Edge and Safari being 0, and F

Ah, ok. I missed that section. Now things start to make sense. What I don't completely understand, for two reasons, is why foreign map publishers would allow this pseudorandom offset to exist on their mapping apps: 1. The obfuscation a

Right, if you look under the "GPS shift problem" section, it does mention that it is due to the difference between the GCJ-02 and WGS-84 datums. So it is not like the regulations are saying "you must shift the coordinates by

In the case of China, are you sure the offset is due to regulation and not simply some mismatch of geodetic datum?

That's also true and I agree. It's confusing. It also took me a while to realize that Firefox for iOS has gained the built-in password manager and that I could replace Lockwise (which, due to it often not responding to the iOS pas

Lockwise has been absorbed into Firefox now. So if you don't mind installing Firefox on iOS, you can install Firefox to get the password manager, which integrates with iOS's password autofill, even to a better extent than the old

We have IKEA in HK. I don’t understand how anybody can claim that its layout is maze-like. It is, to the contrary, expressly linear, with some shortcuts if you really want to skip some sections. Every section is also clearly labeled and y

MFA fatigue wouldn't be such a big problem if their MFA and SSO implementation was not so utter shit. Whenever I get a signin prompt, there is literally no way to tell what I'm signing in for. When the MS Authenticator app receive

Nope. This is capitalism working as intended. They keep making money regardless of how crappy their products are. The problem is that those who suffer are not the ones making the purchase decision.

Is ligature rendering context-sensitive? If I put => in a string literal in JavaScript/TypeScript and the IDE "helpfully" decides to apply ligature to it, I'm gonna go insane.

"Nautically" speaking, if you must release your bottle from the shore and not in the middle of the sea, how/where should you do it to ensure it travels as far as possible? That's a question that comes to my mind whenever

Yep. It’s all just physics and chemistry. There is a gradient of temperature from the surface to the inside of the food. Depending on the composition, it will take more or less time for the thermal energy to propagate. In addition, cooking

TOML is good for config, but not for data exchange though. (Why would I need comments in a data exchange format? Comments are useful when you want to annotate some sample data for other developers who will consume or generate that data.) Al

I have a love-hate relationship with YAML. Hate: - human-wise ambiguity of its syntax (If I understand correctly, you "can" indent array items, but you don't have to. And than one guys says "OK, I'm gonna indent&quo

Well, when you put it that way, it's pretty much like you said: "taichi" as an English word. I've always known "taichi" instead of "taiji" in English, even though I know the correct pinyin.

This reminds me of a funny passage in Jin Yong’s wuxia novel “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber”, where Zhang Wuji, the protagonist, learns taichi sword from his grand master Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng demonstrated the whole taichi sword

Creating an issue and getting somebody else to check-in the code for you doesn’t give you the same level of bragging-rights feeling as actually creating a PR and getting merged though, regardless of how trivial a fix it is. I’m not saying t

Krita and GIMP serve different purposes, even though they have some overlapping functionality. My understanding is that Krita is really for digital drawing, closer to Corel PaintShop Pro; whereas GIMP is for image editing, closer to Photo
