I don't see it. When is/was HTTP ever really extended? HTML/CSS/JS I could accept the analogy, and honestly I think HTTP only really won because of those. They had all the elegance and practicality of the PC[0], and HTTP

There's so much of this. Think of how many perfectly good battery cells from powerbanks end up in landfills because of cheap micro USB connectors that snap off the PCB.

I am a fairly militant, pronouns-in-my-bio (he/him, cishet) post-colonial feminazi and I think so-called politically correct language is generally a good thing. But I also have a degree in linguistics, and I have to say I don't th

It is a strange phenomenon, in that it is so nonsensical, yet so ingrained and self-perpetuating in a way. I can actually agree that it qualifies as a "duty", because it's something the people who make up the corporation hone

Tailwind is CSS. You are writing CSS, just in a slightly different way. It's not a magical framework or a big box of ready-mades.

Nope, they scrapped that years ago. And I really, really want to know exactly what happened at that meeting. Did someone sit there and say something like 'Look, I'm not saying we should "be evil"...'? How does that
