Seems you read neither the link, nor my comment. The author of the story said he doesn’t know what the third party may or may not have done and Google didn’t provide an explanation. And I never said my account was shut down.

No it doesn’t. Norway has a relationship with the EU, anchored by treaties and all. The UK explicitly rejected it in favour of hard Brexit as it currently stands and won’t.

Consumers pay a tip, expecting it to go to staff members directly. This steals the tip back from the staff members, directly contrary to the customer’s expectation. If you change what’s essentially the dictionary definition of the product b

No doubt. Pixel Art at its peak. The icons in particular were spectacular. But none of it would be considered pretty by today’s typical aesthetics. Shameful really.

Functional, cohesive and pretty. I’m more than happy if the former two are done and dusted and my experience with BeOS and since on the former two has been pretty good. If something is pretty but not functional, people won’t use it. If some

JSX attributes aren't HTML attributes. One way you can tell is because they don't have any namespace whatsoever. Similarly when you add a style to an element you don't get to use `background-color` for instance, it's `ba

There’s XSLT Markdown to HTML converters out there. And while XSL isn’t XML, it is in every browser and available next to XML in near enough everything else.
