How does Firefox determine if something is a domain or a subdomain? Obviously the term subdomain is relative, so domain.com is already a subdomain of .com. But what about countries like the UK or South Africa where domains are commonly subd

Basically: browsers started scaling pixel sizes years ago, so if you set the width of the page as a pixel size it will scale when you zoom the page. If you use sizes relative to the size of the text (ems or rems) to set the widths of contai

Well at least more people ignorant people like me now know that Chennai exists ;) I didn't even know that Madras got officially renamed. In 1996 already!

You'll find people saying the same thing about express or even node in general.

I got the same in chrome. I then pressed cmd-z (undo) and it duplicated the text that got changed without removing the color.

There are no really successful programmers. In a general sense: There are no really successful wage-earners. The only really successful people are business-people. That applies to just about every industry. No one is going to give you

So you're arguing that it was an even worse question than I hinted at? ;)

You're basically describing the very nature of distributed systems :) We see many more of them nowadays because of the scale of some modern web apps / sites whereas in the 1990s the internet just wasn't that big or that complicated. Whether

Nitpick: jQuery exists to make the HTML DOM manageable, not JavaScipt the language. (There are libraries targeted at javascript the language, but you could make an argument that that's the point of all libraries for all languages...) I find

So basically: "Don't implement pull requests because it is much nicer than Linus' solution, so if you implement it then everyone's going to want to use it and then when you insist on not using it no one will want to play with you. :(" Seems

I suppose you have a point. "How do you stop bad people from obtaining guns?" doesn't really sound like a solvable or even definable problem. (Who decides? How do you decide? How could you know what this person will do with it in future, ho

> It is not 'less guns' that should bother you, but the intent of the people who use them. I agree, but what politically viable solutions do you propose there? Clearly this implies regulation and clearly very few Americans want that. Mo

Perhaps. The fact still stands that with less guns you'll have less gun-related violence. If you have 300 million guns now, how many will you have in a generation? No one can argue against there being a correlation between number of guns an

We had very many guns per capita by the end of apartheid and people were predicting exactly what you're predicting. Nothing like that happened. The guns were largely destroyed. Now I don't even know anyone that owns one. I don't even know a

Look closer at the statistics. Just like most other countries it is mostly people killing people they know within their own communities. Typically relatives. Look at what they use to kill each other, how many people they kill per incident,

Surely you have seen the graphs comparing america to other stable democracies. Americans kill each other using guns way more often than the citizens of any remotely comparable country. You can't kill people using a gun if you don't have a g

How about they target just one chipset, then. Once that one is a lot faster than all the others due to driver quality no one will want to buy phones using the other chipsets until they have faster drivers. People wouldn't have to be technic
