There used to be a ‘decline’ link that dumps you to the main page of text.npr.org, but at least you could have taken a guess which news item it is from the title and ID in the other link. Apparently they considered that design insufficientl

In that case, you ought to be mocked for making a mess of the repository by keeping unused files in it.

... so? The current incarnation of TC-39 has produced something that's a mess in more ways than one. The spec somehow managed to make it all the way to 5.1 and with that term nowhere to be found. With all the people who've got

It makes zero sense for most small-to-medium companies to make any kind of end user-facing app, period (whether native or a webapp). Most small businesses' needs don't call for a content pipeline substantially more complicated th
