In the wild, media queries are simply not enough. Often you need some JavaScript to really make things workable on smaller screens.

Not if you want to adjust your views to different screen sizes and types.

I personally prefer sending JSON or CSV over the wire, and keeping all presentation logic on the client side. This allows me to adjust the presentation layer based on what's best for each specific client. Why do you prefer to send HTML

The leading image in that article is somewhat terrifying... My eyes did not enjoy seeing that first thing in the morning!

He is still speculating on the SPY and his ability to pay off the loan depends on how the SPY holds its value. A market crash would hurt his ability to pay off the loan.

A margin loan is very different to the kind of financing agreement a company will enter into. You are using the money at IB to speculate, and probably purchasing volatile assets at that. A company will generally utilise that money very diff

Margin calls don't really exist as far as loans are concerned. Once you have agreed collateral, and an agreed schedule of payment, you only get in trouble if you miss a payment, regardless of how the collateral fluctuates in value.

Indeed. Sense of equality != equality. The OP almost suggests it's better for people to live under a false sense of equality.

How is it weird? He very clearly described the degradation in quality of ThinkPads. For what it's worth, I agree. Also, using a laptop for a month is more than enough time to get a feel for how things might play out over the long term.

In Hindu culture, Jupiter is known as Brihaspati, and Thursday is known as Brihaspati-var (the day dedicated to Jupiter).

I know it does happen, but I wouldn't say it's common. Generally speaking, most of the software I use runs without issues on newer JVMs, despite being built for an old one.

I especially hate the trend of people deliberately saying something controversial, to get more comments/likes/publicity. One recent example is Piers Morgan in the UK, who randomly decided to criticise Emma Raducanu, a rather likea

I can't think of another more efficient format for tabular data that's also human readable with a simple text editor... I'm personally not retiring the CSV any time soon!

In your first line, I guess you mean to say ipv4 not ipv6.

I appreciate your response, however, to a serious tennis player, the OPs comment is so naive, to the point that you wonder if they're being sarcastic. They probably lack the experience of playing tennis at a reasonable level, and have

Why do you hate new balls? Does it make the game too fast for you?

by osrec 5y ago
I don't know why you're being down voted. The OPs suggestion is so silly, primarily because they don't understand that even balls from the same pack deflate at different rates. You end up with a bunch of tennis balls that all

IndexedDB implementations in various browsers had their quirks, but by far the quirkiest (buggiest) was Safari. I remember working with their implementation for our web app about 3/4 years ago, and their implementation was so utterly u

Given that they are catalysts, they're not being depleted in the cleaning process. Thus, they're a fixed one time cost, albeit a potentially high one.

I'd say for most standard use cases, the same SQL can be utilised across different DBs. With ORMs, my big annoyance is inefficiency. When you start to scale or add complexity, ORM generated SQL queries can be rather expensive when comp

I think most belief systems, religious or otherwise, sort of boil down to: "believe what you need to believe in order to get through life with some sort of meaning". Otherwise things can get a little too bleak in our heads...

I was reading the article in utter confusion too. I personally think it's the authorities trying to save face, as I don't think even a computer-literate high school kid would make these mistakes.

That's only when done poorly, which unfortunately has become the norm. Properly done modern websites load things incrementally, as and when they're needed, while cleanly separating the front end logic from the back end.

We use docker compose in production, but have our own custom tooling based around it. K8s was a little too complex and docker swarm a little too simple. Rolling our own solution was a last resort, but it worked out well in the end - more co

I think that's true, but amongst posh people, it's always been cool to be posh, but pretend to be not posh. Out of interest, what did you study at Oxford?

As someone who was also raised in the North of England, went to a state school, and also ended up going to Oxford, this article is spot on. It took me a while to realise that the state educated people were often the more talented ones (they
