If the midterms result in more Republicans being elected -- which is a possibility -- it would be easier to vote through laws like this. That risk is likely one reason why Biden's state of the union speech echoed Trump policies: streng

The open-ui is only potentially good when you need something that resembles the standard controls and interactions. At the moment it only has a few controls specified and if you need anything not covered by those you are going to end up cre

The dropdown listbox, optgroup labels, and options should all be part of the CSS box model and have all the styling options available. That would allow full styling (including border, margin, padding, text and background colour) and make th

Wherever possible, I try to avoid using mocks as they just end up obscuring what the code is doing. More specifically, I follow the maxim of only using in the tests what is publicly available to a user of the class. If it is a private insta

Which is why the greyscale should be done with an alpha channel, so it correctly blends with the background, and supports coloured text.

The thing that makes CORS annoying for me is when trying to get a local development environment up and running, or trying to get a standalone web page (e.g. game) running locally. For the latter, you can run a simple web server but its anot

There are two types of "data" in a properly encapsulated class [1]: 1. Internal/private data -- things like a pointer to a string's contents, its length, and the capacity of the content buffer. 2. Public "data"

A resource is defined by a path, so if you have a `QUERY /documents` or `QUERY /albums` endpoint, the resource is all documents or albums that you are searching across, so it cannot add one of those items (like `POST /album`)

There are two forms of optional type annotations: 1. Using a placeholder (let/var/val/auto/...) -- e.g. in modern C#/Java/C++/Kotlin -- and letting the compiler figure out the type, but keep the actual typ

With class/object generics, you are abstracting over the type the class is operating on, so you can have a List<Int> or List<String>. The class can define a single implementation on all those types, and functions using that

The issue is not figuring out if site X has a copy of a page or text from site Y. The issue is how do you know which site is the source of the information. In other words, the technical bit is easy but determining what to do with that is ha

If you are writing tests to check new code in tandem with writing that code (either via TDD, or some other code-test loop), or are writing tests for existing code, you can (and usually will) find and fix bugs. Likewise if you are investigat

The spatial unit vectors for a 3 spatial dimension [x,y,z] vector are i^=[1,0,0], j^=[0,1,0], and k^=[0,0,1]. These are all said to be orthogonal to each other, which is a generalization of perpendicularity [1] to non-spatial vector spaces.

Dimension in this sense means degree of freedom, not a spatial dimension. That is, a number on the "imaginary dimension" cannot be represented on the "real dimension". This is similar to how a length does not represent a
