Not surprised. I even made a privacy preserving proxy plug-in for Coral Talk, a comment system, that would hide the gravatars behind an UUID based parameter [1]. This was quite some time ago. I understand why Gravatar would choose to expos

Say you're developing a big form with lots of different inputs. When you're iterating on the form you don't want to lose all your form state because you edited some code. When you make the change you want to see what that cha

Indeed. JavaScript was supposed to be scheme with its own object property inheritance model. Of course stakeholders co-opted the language and forced the Java style syntax (and name) upon the language. Now most of the syntax additions has be

Pretty much yeah. I guess there are some deductions which need to be filed manually as the government would have no way of knowing about them. Like if you have a really long commute to work you get to deduct a certain amount per KM from you

I once used a mobile alarm clock app that would try to be smart about waking you up. You put it on your bed and it would measure your sleep cycles by your movement and try to maximise your sleep, but wake you up after a whole cycle had comp

As I understand it this is a result of big tax software companies and accounting firms lobbying to keep tax filing as complex as possible so there is still a market for them. If taxes were as easy to file as in countries like Norway and Swe
