Safari 10.1 is still in beta but it's coming to both macOS and iOS.

There haven't been problems with it in Safari as far as we know. We also do additional throttling at our level in addition to participating in App Nap on a per-tab basis.

You've solved one set of problems (and fixed the major problem that the original had no separation between library and user land code) and created some new problems: (1) A timer will fire forever, even if no progress bars are currently

XHTML doesn't give you a way to automatically give behavior and composite structure to a new element. It just gives you a way to put one in your markup without the validator complaining. But it won't do anything by default.

Past attempts at component models for the web have used CSS as the hook instead of a script call. For example, Mozilla's XBL and Microsoft's HTC. This way of doing it is a security hazard because it makes CSS into active code inst

Your example has many serious limitations: (1) It doesn't let you have multiple progress bars that all advance at their own rate. (2) It doesn't work at all for custom-progress-bar elements added dynamically to the document after

Can you explain how these are evidence against pilot wave theory? It's entirely compatible with Bell's inequality and indeed makes all the same predictions as other, more popular interpretations of QM, so it's not clear why t

I haven't confused r with g. I think you may not have thought through what these quantities represent. r is the return on capital. An asset worth A returns A*r per year. This says nothing about wether A increases or decreases. You can

You're right that I made a mistake, but it's the labor income case that is exponential, not the capital income case. Earning W r every year is constant income and linear growth in wealth (where W is your starting wealth). Earning

WHATWG HTML and W3C HTML both define a valid syntax for content, as well as parsing rules that cover everything, even error cases. Postel's Law states: "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.&qu

WHATWG specs aren't "it's kind of this or that". They're more like "it's exactly X, in 20 detailed steps of excruciating detail, and if X is a legacy feature we're sorry that it's kind of weird.

That doesn't really make sense. r isn't a growth rate of the share of ownership on capital. It's a return on capital, i.e. the growth rate of capital. r implies nothing about the change in total value of capital assets. Total

r isn't the growth rate of capital's share of income though. r represent the return on capital (which is proportional to capital's share of income), not the growth rate of the return on capital, or the growth rate of capital&

It doesn't really make sense to take "percentage increase" as dimensionless, because it leads you to compare growth rate of incomparable things. One of the most basic rules of economics is that you can't compare stocks a

One thing that always puzzles me about r > g is that it's comparing a first derivative to a second derivative. How can this be meaningful? To explain further, r is return on investment, which approximately means rate of growth of we

I guess I was grading on a curve when I said "very secure".

Firefox is much less secure than other modern browsers. And Chrome is indeed very secure. But I think it's incorrect to say that it's "orders of magnitude" more secure than Safari. This hasn't been true since Safari
