I was recently shocked to learn that you cannot buy "dumb" TVs from any of the major brands any longer. The only source I was able to find were random brands from China, and commercial displays from companies like NEC. Unfortunate

Maybe that worked in the past, but these days, time and time again we see companies offering paid software and services with an extra layer of advertising on top. Old adages like "you're either a paying customer, or the one being

Well it doesn't have to be one or the other. It doesn't have to be either intimidation _or_ sexism. It can be both. She was being intimidated because she wasn't respected and seen as lesser. I'd say this part really ties

To add to this, there's also a slow transition towards safe frames [1] that allows for better protection than friendly frames by restricting all page-iframe communication to a specific API. [1] https://www.iab.com/guide

There are many tools that can scan your dependencies and tell you if anything is off. Here's one for reference (cannot vouch for it though as I have not used it): https://github.com/jeremylong/DependencyCheck/

On one hand the name had put me off from wanting to look at it when I first heard about it. But at the same time, it's also the reason I looked, since DB technologies are a dime-a-dozen these days with generic sounding names. I would s

I personally prefer MetaScript [1] as it's comment based so JavaScript highlighters/linters don't have issues with it. It is also essentially JavaScript so no special syntax had to be learned. [1] https://github.co

Right, I meant more in a Q&A fashion with perpendicular discussion like with SA. But I'm happy to see there is an archive. I've had decade old Mozilla bug reports save me more than once.
