I rarely give recommendations on anything software-related, but if you are an AMP-hater who also appreciates text-only websites, try using links to view some AMP sites. In almost every case I have seen, the result is quite good.

I don't just "attempt". Links, preferably no graphics (VGA textmode, no X11), has been my main browser for over 20 years. Recent versions of links should remove the DNS prefetch code. More menu items should have single key s

Instead of trying to "kill" the Bloomberg Terminal, it seems like a more rational choice, assuming success is the model we are trying to follow, would be to replicate it. I love Bloomberg Terminal's "UI". Really, I

Particularly infruriating for those "unlucky", hard-working Americans whose tax burden is being used to fund this person's luck-fueled "opportunity".

Your comment reads as if you were there. :) The film is just a film, probably not a true reflection of what happened. Memorable for the performances nonetheless, speaking only for myself.

That phrasing seemingly implies that there was a generally-agreed intended behaviour for that case that was unfortunately neither documented nor actually exhibited. But that was not the case. The overflow behaviour of float-to-int casts was

Answer to Q1: Don't care. Software that does not honour /etc/resolv.conf is a PITA. Answer to Q2: No. They have mass cooperation from network admins and DNS software authors to use ICANN roots. Answer to Q3: Go for it. I h

One way to look at this problem is to ask "how to secure Twitter". Another way to look at this problem is to ask whether people should trust Twitter as an official source of information. I think there is a big organisational diff

> I'm not sure I understand this. Does it not produce a run time error? Why not? It’s not supposed to. Type casting with ‘as’ is supposed to be lightweight and always succeed; there is no room in the type system to return an error.

Thing is, end-exclusive ranges go hand-in-hand with zero-based indexing. I don’t think I need to link the EWD article.

"When will the 'we use cookies' popover end?" As soon as you disable Javascript. They will not do this to you without the use of Javascript. Take away the Javascript, and the popover technique comes to an end.

Even those things wouldn’t shut down the country if it were, for example, sexually transmitted. The problem that you can contract it just by breathing in the wrong place at the wrong time is the real desaster. You wouldn’t want to take thos
