Actually, many features of the modern web (DOM, XmlHttpRequest, box-sizing: border-box) were implemented by IE first. Unfortunately it's not in the best interest of anyone capable of engineering open/distributed platforms to actua

Ironically I have weird OCD where I always assume I made a typo, so I keep deleting and retyping code a few dozen character at a type, often in lines where I see nothing wrong. Over time this has just become something my hands do whenever m

Aiming for orbit and running out of fuel means you will probably fall back and burn up in the atmosphere. Aiming for the moon and running out of fuel means you can still get to orbit (which is still very cool) but you have to plan ahead. Mi

My girlfriend took me to a club in her hometown in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Multiple times random people came over to shake my hand and congratulating me for - basically - being a foreigner. One guy told me "I will kill you", but then h

I honestly think biometric is just eye-candy. The real interesting thing here is MS Passport. Passwords are only broken because for most intended purposes they act as a symmetric key that you happen to leave around everywhere and when it le

Upvoted, not because I agree, but because I would like to see discussion on this. I just bought 2 Mobius Action cams for $70 each and they are awesome. On the other hand someone doing any sports worth recording probably won't even thin

It's not in Apples interest to advance the web. They want less web and more native. Unfortunately. No one will use a standard that's not available for 30% of the users, the point is to unify things, not to make yet another useless

I guess beause it's SMS they can you employ machine learning and simple classification, and internal tools to automate whatever is requested the most. Requests that require manual work will probably cost a little bit more. They also se

Real story: In Hungary students are rated from 1 to 5, where 5 is the best score and 1 is the worst. During the semester you have multiple tests (both verbal and on paper) each giving you a score between 1 and 5. Your final score is the ave

Same problem here. Plus I am using sendgrid which automagically makes the link about 4 times longer using the same "trick" which further amplifies the problem. In fact I decided that I should go the other direction instead. Now ev

I don't expect there will ever be such protocol though, there is too much competition already and everyone wants to be the "platform", because no-one actually has any idea of what gadgets would be useful. Even if we just look

On the stealing the drone issue: I don't think cooperation is an issue here. It's like worrying about someone beating an Uber driver and taking his car.

Snatching would probably not be an issue. (Delivery guy would also give the "cargo" to anyone who claims he ordered it). They also don't have to throw it though the window. You know to the second when the drone arrives and it

Whenever I see drone delivery, I always see quadrocopters. Aren't octocopters more safe (they can still fly with 7 rotors)? Intuitively they can also carry more load. It should be a very simple decision considering that the main object

In some cases returns on saving accounts won't cover the minimal handling fees so you are loosing money. Talking about Hungarian banks and not a big salary here.

The reason so many people have no bank account is because banking doesn't provide them anything. I understand what's in it for the service provider (bank/wallet/lender/etc), but not everyone needs a credit card. My

Most smileys now ubiquitous on smart phone keyboards are valid Unicode characters outside of the BMP set, yet being used constantly on the web. BMP just doesn't make sense anymore, nor does mysql utf8.

If blind are willing to pay and volunteers are willing to help for free, then all the money can be spent on innovation. Sound like a perfect business to me, as long as the volunteer return rate is good.

Isn't there a way for adblock+ to insert just the right set of css rules based on the page it is inserted to? It's not like every site displays ads from every possible ad network. I don't know the internals of AB+ so correct
