Document display and document editing are rather different tasks. The DOM was built for the display of static documents. Dynamism was slowly added over the years through JS, and eventually CSS (animations, transformations, etc). But the und

Absolutely. I'd kill to be able to use Discord for work. It's just silly how much better it is than Teams, Zoom, WebEx, etc.

It was an Executive Order that compelled this, not contracts.

Serious question: Has anyone ever been jailed for publicly saying they've closed a short position but not actually closing it all? Is it equally illegal to say on CNBC that you closed it out, but to email your investors and tell them y

He was intentionally continuing to fan the flames of insurrection using specific lies about the status of the election, while at the same time pretending to ask them to peacefully disperse. This seems pretty obvious?

That is the thing that has always stuck out to me. The books are a master class on language. And, interestingly, the intricate language added a certain texture to the story that I haven't often encountered elsewhere. It made the story

Feels like the solution here is to pay income taxes instead of property taxes. ;)

Ballsy, I love it. Hopefully it can be used as evidence in any antitrust actions against Apple, in the US or abroad. It's clear that Apple's behavior negatively impacts consumer pricing.

Nonsense. The App Store is the Store. For god's sake, it's literally called a store. This couldn't be clearer. You don't need to muddy the waters by making a ridiculous analogy that somehow equates a computer to a member

And customers aren't required to only shop at a single store. If the store doesn't have what I want, I should be able to go to another store.

If you can do anything to fix your sleep now, immediately, it should be done. Poor sleep is arguably the worst possible thing you can inflict on your body. It has direct links to virtually every major disease and ill health outcome, includi

I don't think that's the case at all. As far as I know, advertisers never receive personal information from Google. Google hordes the personal information and shows advertisements (provided by the advertisers) to their users, usin

Lovely post, but I now realize that I am rather ignorant of the interplay between processes and the kernel with regards to memory allocation. Any ideas on cool stuff to read to remedy this?

Hello fellow 30 year old! I just climbed over that hump a little less than a month ago and have similar feelings. My tech/internet journey started where lots of others probably began, with games. I remember picking up the magazine Maxi

How do we know the hardware will adequately support full self-driving if it doesn't actually exist yet? That seems overly optimistic, if not an outright fabrication.

I find biology to be endlessly fascinating. I know this is terribly off-topic but, if you enjoy learning about this kind of information, I'd highly recommend 'The Gene: An Intimate History.' It's a lovely read that bring

Neat! I'm a huge fan of Pixelmator. Great example of a high quality desktop application. I really miss it when I have to edit images on Windows. I wonder if there is a similarly priced, beautiful piece of software for Microsoft's

Do you walk around with a sign on your forehead announcing to the world that you're a techie? I would suspect not. On what grounds do you believe that to be the basis for people not speaking with you?

Wow, this is great! I think it's the clearest, tersest explanation of JS langauge fundamentals that I've seen.

Bill addresses this in the piece: I’m making this investment on my own, not through the foundation. The first Alzheimer’s treatments might not come to fruition for another decade or more, and they will be very expensive at first. Once that

Absolutely! I go on every run without my phone. I've managed to cheat the Apple Watch into letting me sneak podcasts on to it through iTunes, but it's a hack and it doesn't sync back to my podcasts on my phone/computer.

Hmm. I'm going to have to disagree about Stored Procedures providing security. You can do all sorts of bad things using stored procedures that may result in unintended code execution! Perhaps the most naive example: https://

Is there any legal way to stop sales like that? If it were shown that Equifax were negligent in protecting the data on their systems, could a court demand that they remove all of the data to mitigate further harm?

To add to that, they already have an engineering office in Tempe. I suspect both Phoenix and Tempe will be strong contenders. Positives: - Affordable housing - Affordable corporate real estate - Construction boom in both cities - Local gove

Oye, I've been putting off getting this book since it was co-written by Stephenson and I wasn't sure how that would pan out. Guess I'll have to add to the collection!

Yeah, it's a great resource. I'd love to see more examples as well. Bonus points if the examples are runnable and extra-bonus points if there's a 'debugger' version that would let the user jump into a portion of the

It would be interesting to see this work expanded to include some of those factors; Namely indexing and archiving. Bad data models seem like a whole other beast, but indexing and archiving should be possible to generate good configuration s

I agree that voice is lousy for many things, maybe even most things. And I think Apple is uniquely positioned to offer an end-to-end experience across devices (desktop, laptop, phone, watch, house/speaker) and that their design sensibi

As far as I'm concerned, Siri is on death watch until Apple figures out a strategy to open it up. Outside of setting timers, creating reminders, setting alarms, doing a little dictating or mishearing directions, the product is stagnant
