   By "at scale", I mean building abstractions on top of commonly used html elements and making them interactive, using something like "components" in React. Then you only need to write the shopping cart or image gallery on

   NH is weird again with the downvotes. I see nothing wrong with your comment or linked source.

   Oh nice website. Is there list of verdicts on mainstream media by this website? The homepage has a list but it seems to be missing some big names because the website is not featured in them.

    I've seen this brought up quite a lot, but to me, a Chinese national, it's confusing how judiciary branch is independent. Didn't Trump nominate the supreme court justice? And isn't the nomination confirmed by congress? W

    I use DO for my personal website and pet projects and it works well. However, I am curious if any medium to big-sized tech companies are using DO in production. As far as I know, everyone is using AWS, GCP or Azure. What's DO's ta

    Bloomberg got the ads revenue, and people who read Bloomberg won't stop doing that just because of this. The only thing changed is the lower cosine distance between China and hacking in the English corpus, as well as people's mind

    Interesting. I forgot NGA as one of the influential online forums in China when I wrote about that topic. For those who don't know, NGA was originally a forum about World of Warcraft (the online game). Then it got popular and became mo

    I don't know where you got your stats from, but Wikipedia says otherwise. In the most strict definition of poor (living under 1.90USD a day), only 0.7% of Chinese are poor. Even if you go up to 3.20USD per day, it's still only 7%,

    Very interesting perspective. Actually I've read The Prince and I got carried away by the ideas in the book. Maybe I shouldn't read 1984 after all? Anyway, I'm just interested in politics, but not planning to enter politics

    I see. Just a wild idea that I haven't tried yet: Would it work if you configure your etc/hosts to point production domain to localhost and open the production domain in the browser? I'm gonna try this when I get free time.

    Obviously I don't have context on your work, but in general, do you have control over remote API? If yes, you can setup different environments (dev, staging, production) and set CORS accordingly for each of them. If no, how is it worki

    Curious what use cases you have for disabling CORS? Is it for 3rd party domains and APIs or response that you control? Either way, controlling it in browser doesn't sound like the right way.
