It’s arguably adware, since users paid for the OS and then advertisements have appeared in new places since Windows 10’s initial release. E.g. some ads appeared for many people in the file explorer a few years ago. Adware is considered a fo

That meme’s sort of funny in a meta way because presumably the person who actually drew the number (the comic artist) drew it as both a 9 and a 6, so in that one particular case they actually are both right. The sentiment of the red message

It’s more than simple ternary, for example: `response?.data?.users?[0]` To get the first user from a server response would be significantly longer if you wrote three nested ternary operators.

That citation is for "English as a foreign language", and if you read the end of the paragraph you see they are excluding UK and Ireland. English as a first language accounts for 13%, which when added to the 38% leaves you with 51

I don't think that would work, but correct me if I'm wrong. As far as I know, git bisect does a binary search along the commits; `good` tells it to look at the latter half, `bad` to look at the former. So suppose you have five com

I think you may have meant de-stress, rather than "They will instantly distress you with their chill vibe.", as amusing as the idea of recommending cats to instantly send people into distress is!

That seems entirely unrelated to what you quoted. Regardless of whether the whole screen becomes a touchscreen, or a bar is used, the F-keys in their form are bad UX.

In 1998 the iMac dropped most other ports. Admittedly, maybe a bit less severe because it still had an ethernet port, and a couple FireWire. But it did drop the ports that were commonly used for peripherals and devices, which is the simila

I don't think it has to be so black and white. There's room for a variety of small preferences to cause a person to choose one thing over another. Going out to eat may be tastier, but it's generally more expensive. When it&#x

I certainly agree that the rest of the post makes sense and is more on topic! It's why I felt the need to add the statement at the end of my own stating that I agree with it, immediately after I posted it ;) Re: requirement - there I w

None of these requires SCSS at all. You may verify by grabbing the SCSS they provide in the codepen and pasting it into http://www.sassmeister.com/ Most examples are equally compact in plain old CSS. In fact, many of them

I don't think those are the same argument at all. If everybody is open about everything, the result is not that all spying/invasion ends. In fact, it doesn't really prevent anything (it makes those who were spying more powerf

Is there a substantial difference in this cost when comparing an electric vehicle to a gas vehicle, though? The parent's post was about cost of fuel (per mile), not the overall cost of driving.

Of course, your first qualm (lower salaries) was exactly what the comment said to remove by providing SF "senior-level talent" salaries. USD-converted rates and all. Quality of life in Toronto with those salaries would be excellen

Another option: offer SF "senior-level talent" salaries in Toronto. They'll be spending more than this by relocating and then hiring down there anyway. I expect they'd find that there's plenty of talent already in T

But there is someone listening on snapchat - the person on the other side still sees and hears it. The conversation analogy that xux made seems perfectly reasonable to me in that regard. However, it is (depending on the user, I suppose) n

To me it seemed implied that Javascript was required for other reasons anyway, when the parent said "started working on single-page/client-side applications". At least, that's typically part of how I parse it when people

The difference that I see between 3D touch and right click is that one adds functionality to the same input mechanism, and the other adds a new button. Assuming that every action can be done with only standard (non-3D) touches, or only left

I'm in a similar boat. Safari has surprised me lately - particularly its speed. That said, there are a couple things that always frustrate me with stock Safari: 1) You can't reopen an arbitrary number of recently closed tabs. (You
