You're missing the point, completely. The issue has nothing to do with whether it's okay to end a sentence with a preposition. The issue is that the title is ungrammatical. "What device do you read academic papers with?"

Yes. The title of this post is ungrammatical.

They don't do that because they can't afford to do that. That's sad and unfortunate.

Yep, it really is that simple. It reduces an entire category of issues. This is also why some people entirely disable multilib in their Gentoo systems.

Yes it is. You said: >They simply handle events and remove/add/update the specific DOM nodes that are appropriate. Don't bloody pretend you didn't.

Those 2013 frameworks didn't get to the level of completion necessary to become popular until 2015, really.

It's how it works, and it's wrong . It's incorrect . It's badly designed . It should be fixed . Let me write `'use sanity;'` at the top of a function (like `'use strict';`) and then let me use san

The problem with that is then you end up with the same horrible mess of event handlers all mutating global shared state. That's the same problem you have in most C# and Java UI programmes too.

React seems like an overly complicated mess to me. We've worked for years to separate HTML, CSS and Javascript, and the reasons for doing that haven't changed.

One reason that Angular feels more like a language than a framework to me is that it essentially has its own module/dependency system with all the dependency injection stuff. It don't even use Angular's D.I. to test things. W

Using any capital letters in code is an instant point away from a language IMO. Having to press Shift sucks.

Emails are text, and text compresses extremely well. Attachments are literally always unnecessary.

I don't see how that's a benefit.

I assume you mean 'a free software project' rather than 'an OSS'. Well no, that's my point. Free software projects don't have governors, they have maintainers. They don't have non-profits and boards and di

The post she linked to as something she had written before essentially equivocates "that CEO who had several men who had raped female employees kept on staff because they were good coders" with someone that has hired people they k

Yes, people are proposing that people download their email. How is that controversial? That's how email works. It's not like emails are large.

I know of more than one company that has essentially duplicated all of their infrastructure from the US to the EU so they can store EU data in the EU.

Just make the project. This modern obsession that free software has to be 'funded' and 'governed' is absurd. Free software works far better when money is not a factor.

I honestly don't think that I've ever seen any evidence of that. I'm not saying there aren't, though. Everyone I've ever seen that disagrees with the FSF either: - doesn't understand what 'freedom' me
