Is this the same team who pieced together how the waymo data left the building, or is this a team aimed specifically at internal whistleblowers? The article isn't entirely clear on that.

Persevere. It's learning curve is a vertical cliff, shrouded in impenetrable UI fog, piles of broken corpses littering the jagged rocks beneath the megalith. Their faces frozen in terminal confusion. If you can scale that then there is

Why lol? Not being a douche - I'm genuinely curious why that is a laughable suggestion.

I don't think that's the case, I'm sure it wasn't meant like that, but your original reply did seem a little... provocative? Added to that, it's generally bad form to discuss the meta without adding to the conversat

Tables absolutely have their place... for rendering tabular data! The idea that tables are "bad" was always semantic FUD, but i like to think we're pretty much over that these days and the fact remains that they're far f

Ignoring that they're for quite different tasks - Flexbox's (albeit crappy) support in IE11 makes it more appealing if I was going to pick one of the two. IE11 still has more users[0] hitting our main site than Edge, so I can see

So if they want 2fa enabled and users to avoid browser plugins it inadvertantly suggests a vector to start looking at. At a guess, an API vuln that issues a token of some description?

It's all just programming. The thing with JavaScript is that as it evolves the opportunity to invent, and then solve, new problems presents itself. Heck, most of the problems/solutions aren't even particularly new - they are

Yeah, sorry, if it's 100% of the viewport, kinda like an old fashioned frameset, you won't get the scroll propagation thing - if it's 100% of html,body you still hit it of course. But yeah, mousewheel scroll propagation is a

My own personal bugbear with individually scrolling elements is when the user hits the min/max scrollHeight of an element and the event immediately propagates back up to the document element, scrolling the whole page. This probably isn

Declining, but still non-trivial. We dropped IE10 support when we stopped doing IE9 a year or so ago because they both had similarly insignificant numbers, and the opportunity cost of supporting them was too high. IE11/Edge are also sh
