Mullvad has a radical commitment to full on privacy that goes beyond other VPN providers. They won't even store your credit card info so by design there's no way to link your account back to you, even if someone seized their data

I think there's an industry trend or career pressure towards being a member of a JS "tribe". Companies don't believe in people learning new technologies, instead they only want people with lots of experience in their sp

I think you don't need to definitely prove you're human or pass some kind of adhoc turing test. You just need to convince them that whatever need they have can be taken care of via the chat widget. If the need is to speak to a h

I kinda feel like this guy is overstating his contribution to Minecraft. It's nice to have an end screen message, but that isn't what drove the value of the game and could have easily been replaced by something else. Rule #1 of g

Chrome on iOS basically has to suffer almost all the same bugs and issues as Safari on iOS because only one underlying browser engine is allowed by Apple on their iOS devices (Webkit, which is maintained by Apple). In this case the window-d

Big companies hire "digital marketers" who try to push metrics up to justify their jobs and salaries and demonstrate some form of growth. Why do you see intrusive cookie banners on every website? So they can force people to hit a

I used the same Matter.js for a game project I was working on and I would definitely not consider it a scientific physics simulation. It eventually got the job done for my 2d golfing game with some workarounds and I appreciate having a JS

Employers are looking for good programmers, since a bad programmer can do active damage to a codebase. They are willing to pay a higher price to try and avoid those situations so offering work at a lower rate isn't going to be attracti

You only need 4 pawns to mate: with white king at e1, black pawns at d3, e2, e3, and f3 have a mate in one. Position is unlikely against a skilled opponent but could happen in an amateur game if white blunders trying to block a possible pa
