Chrome is still 97/100, but honestly that's a pretty old test and things have changed. Someone remembers XHTML..?

Sequel Pro is by far the best SQL client I've ever used. It's really sad that it's available only for Mac. It's the only app I miss after having moved to Linux.

Yup. We're seeing quite a lot of episodes of deplatforming lately. It seems as if payment processors are pressuring everyone down below to comply, but it start with them.

There are and there will be tools to counter governments' attempts at censoring or controlling the internet, but most people will never find out nor be able to use those tools. Most people use the tools that came with their phone by de

Absolutely agree. The most probable thing to me is that we'll sooner or later have it as bad a what's currently happening in China: spying via heavy use of face recognition, pre-crime, citizen score, etc. etc. It doesn't look

This makes me very scared. If the quality of initiatives is as bad as the compat for migration, we're pretty much fucked.

How. They are the ones who have the lawyers to protect themselves. It's the small platforms that will suffer, and creating startups in the user-generated content will be too risky.

No idea! Maybe they'll be a middleman for Bitcoin. We have to wait and see.

Sure, but Patreon is for a small group of people. Meaning, the mass audience goes there because a small group of creators told them that's how they can support them. If that small group of creators finds a better alternative, and tells

I don't know if we need new laws. We need more competitors, for sure. Jordan Peterson (if you know him) has partnered to solve the problem of PayPal and Patreon deplatforming people, and is starting a competing service that doesn'

In Poland during Communism people would ask each other in church: "oh, I didn't know you were Catholic?", "I'm not. I'm against Communism".

Agree. Being an American company, if Facebook were to _officially_ edit content it would become a publisher rather than a platform, and having to follow laws that publishers have to follow would make them go bankrupt in no time.

We've been implementing PATCH operation using PUT. If a certain properties in not undefined, we update it, otherwise we don't.

Yes, I know he's right technically, but I've never seen it in any popular APIs. Unless, of course, I am mistaken.

What about PATCH? I personally like PUT even for delta updates, but a dev I was working with was obsessed with wanting PATCH.

Scientists can prove someone's gender by looking at his/her chromosomes, can't they (if you take exceptions, there are people born with 4 arms, or even 2 heads: was a new species created, or it's just very rare exception

Why, is gender arbitrary? There are albino blacks, blonde latinos, etc.

You're right. The answer to that is that people should not be able to change their gender--unless something gets invented that can change your chromosomes--but if they can then age and race should be allowed, too. If anything, because

I don't see why one can change sex, but not change age, race, etc.

True. However, one thing that 8K would be really good at is zooming content: even if zoomed at 10x, the image would still look good. Admittedly, I have no idea why someone would want to zoom video content.
