100% agree with this. It's ridiculous how contrasting the levels of compensation are. Of course there are minefields to negotiate (IR35, administrative overheads of running a company etc) but it's a completely different world to w

This, it's a third-party extension. Nothing to do with Microsoft, and a sensationalised submission title here on HN. Flagged.

I don't really follow this. Ideally, the spelling errors should fail the build and ordinarily I wouldn't expect PRs to be able to be merged with failing CI checks. Presumably it's possible to suppress false positive typo repo

Yeah it's a real shame it's all moving to HTML/JS for the chrome & e.g. devtools, even if it's more "maintainable".

Ctrl+scrollwheel for zoom also doesn't work; this seems awful for accessibility.

Pointing the phone at a QR code doesn't do anything on my Pixel 5 using the built-in camera app. Further, I can't even scan the colourful QR codes in the video even with a dedicated barcode scanning app. Seems like a useless conce

I think 1 is the only real argument.. 2 seems less and less relevant with HSTS. I suppose the other thing you can do with cookies is use cookie prefixes. __Host probably makes no sense in the context of localStorage/sessionStorage anyw

I believe originally (back in the early drafts of the spec) the concept of a "site" was significantly stricter (based on the origins matching), but it got watered down which was a real shame. I'm not sure why. c.f. https:&#x

Because, to be honest, it was entirely foreseeable. It's awful software engineering practice to just gloss over and ignore the privacy implications of this sort of feature! These risks should've been brought up during code review

I'm pretty young and fairly healthy, so a licensed vaccine was a long way off (and still is) for me personally. The 50% chance of possible protection from Covid-19 was something of a selfish motivator, but more generally it seemed like

It doesn't matter to me if the Police or the Queen is the one "warning students" about Sci-Hub - if it's unsubstantiated and not backed up with forensic evidence it shouldn't be reported.

The BBC is notorious for its poor reporting of tech matters and yet again they've failed to write a balanced, informed article. Is there even any substance to these allegations of phishing and risk to data?
