Well, you’d typically want to do visual updates when document.hidden wasn’t true, which would work fine.

“they” is an acceptable pronoun for any person; it is gender-neutral.

Oh, I thought you needed to register an organization to use scoped packages. Thanks! (And yes, I don't mind the length... unless I'm paying for it.)

Is this the @a/b namespacing that requires paying monthly for names (that are longer)? That’s not going to fly for most people.

Switch to a web browser that uses the same engine but isn’t open-source? Why?

I use the function keys for operations available anywhere (backlight brightness, keyboard brightness, media control). (Isn’t that the default on macOS?)

Primitive in terms of UX where?

What definition of “architecture” are you using here? Is it at a very high level (“I’m using an SPA and an MV* JSON API”)? If it is, I hate to break it to you, but that’s how most of these things have already worked for ages.

Your metaphorical engine weighs a metric ton and it’s very difficult to imagine how it’ll develop into anything resembling a racer. I’d put more effort into the car analogies but they’re making me physically ill. > The architecture is st

All the things I listed (and more) work by default. Your architecture broke them and didn’t benefit the user as far as I could see. Maybe list such a benefit if you’d like to argue for it?

I’m someone who also values privacy, but a few of the extensions in question almost certainly don’t offer enough value for their cost. Random UA switching makes you more fingerprintable. And this all on Windows 10…

No. It might make parsing faster if you optimized for it, but I don’t see any reason for the choice of text representation to affect rendering speed.

The Linux Foundation is a non-profit, for one, but I don’t see what a BSD project having difficulty raising money has to do with donating to Docker.

Why would you donate money to a business that, you know, sells products?

No, they were still basic in 2008. (ES3 was published in 1999.) JavaScript hasn’t changed very much as a language; just the tools around, mostly.

How is it the least user-friendly? In Ubuntu, for example, nothing in regular use seems particularly different. My grandma started using it as her first OS at 84, and she’s still doing fine.

Or maybe it’s just for the sake of fun! There are some eccentric people out there, but I don’t think the point of having upside-down work areas is to cater to eccentricities.

If you write new software in Python 3, why does it matter if division changed?
