FYI all modern browsers support SVGs and SVG icons have much fewer problems than icon fonts (especially when it comes to fallbacks when the font fails to load).

And there has been a witch hunt against him too. People tried to get him kicked off a conference he was being invited to because of "safety" concerns. Allegedly he vented backstage after someone's talk once in a way that made

The wording seems to have been unfortunate. He later clarified he wasn't "anti-CoC", he just thinks the CoC is open to discussion like any other document and that it can be improved. Which of course is totally irresponsible h

Wow, that's jarring. I thought images as text were a thing of the past. Good thing at least the rest of the page is actual text.

Well as many people in Germany know, ALDI is a contraction of "Albrecht Discount". Theo Albrecht (who founded Aldi Nord and Trader Joe's) was kidnapped in 1971 for ransom so it's obvious why they'd rather want to ke

Thanks for pointing that out. I always thought "Totschlag" also referred to violence that escalated into a killing but uninentionally so (i.e. when it should have been clear the injuries are fatal but they weren't meant to be

Yeah, I think that was what I was getting at. There's a difference between "I hate you so much, I'm going to kill you right now" and "I'm going to kill you dead, like, permanently". I'd think most peo

I guess "intentionally killing someone in a rage" didn't come to my mind. I can imagine planning to kill someone and then doing it or unintentionally killing someone in a fight/assault. But knowingly killing someone out

Weird. So why did the comment single out premeditated murder? Getting into a fight and unintentionally/recklessly causing lethal injuries, or unintentionally/recklessly causing a lethal accident to happen wouldn't then normal

Not sure where they're from but it may be a language thing. For example in Germany "Mord" ("murder") always requires intent. Unintentional killing is called "Totschlag" (manslaughter), if it was an acciden

I'm not agreeing with the assertion in this case, but there are very different standards for people "of public interest" and ordinary common folk. This distinction is made in a lot of places, including European privacy laws e

The worst part, as a non-American, it's always implied you should care and take action but there's practically nothing you can do or actually have to do so you're left feeling guilty, miserable and unfulfilled. This was alrea

Your license is still whatever your license is. The PATENTS file is an additional patent grant. The BSD license contains no patent grant, it's just a copyright license. You can even distribute React as part of an Apache2 project. The

Most people seem to just read the part in PATENTS where it talks about a "license" being revoked and go "I KNOW THIS" thinking it talks about a copyright license. It's excusable if English is not your native languag

Aside from the validity of the article's claims about patents (see my other tirades about that) I'm not sure the point even makes sense. React, the library, is at its core a glorified templating system. It provides plenty of escap

Have you watched Wargames? The only winning move is not to play. If you have code, you're at risk of being sued over software patents. In the end if you do get sued it likely won't be Google or Facebook, it will be some patent tro
