You're thinking strong typing, not static typing. With stronger types, there would be a difference between a bytes string and unicode string, and the programmer would have to explicitly choose between them. With dynamic typing, this di

If you leave, even if you are leaving to a worse salary, you are hurting the former company. If that company considers you to be worth whatever they're paying you (read: they can't find someone better for less) than they will give

I'm under the impression that no one (or at least very few people) who have 150+ tabs open at once actually use the tab metaphor, at least by itself. I've seen several people in this thread who discuss a tool for searching tabs. S

The CEO's salary, even if absurdly high, will generally pale in comparison to the revenue of the company. So long as salaries and other expenses aren't absurdly high across the board, a high CEO salary will only have a marginal ef

APIs should be intuitive; they should be usable only from knowing their signature, and from having familiarity with similar functions. For the most part, DOM/WOM functions are like this, and so the doc will only be repeating things you

My favourite pet peeve is the lyrics wikia, which has some css embedded in a <noscript> tag that blocks out the lyrics and replaces it with a "sorry! This site requires javascript" message.

Non js users aren't expecting the website to work perfectly without scripts on. The bare minimum they ask for is that the site can be read without using scripts. Obviously it would be nice if all the moving components didn't need

Hardly a solution. People are expecting to be able to use their electronic devices while in-flight. Removing the battery would remove that capability.

Grammarly advertises quite agressively, at least to my demographic. I pointed out to my brother, who installed the addon, that they necesarily must be making money off him, probably by selling his data. He said he didn't care. Taking a

ISPs are allowed to limit their services to prevent overuse. See: data caps and bandwidth limits. Net neutrality is concerned specifically with limits on usage that are not related to the amount of data used, but rather the information cont

The argument made was against the statement that ads were valuable in and of themselves. If they aren't, than the whole system becomes a zero sum game: advertisers pay content creators, who show you ads, you pay money for products, and

Breaking bonds requires input energy, rather than producing energy. Once the bonds are broken, you have free floating hydrogen and carbon. These can then form new bonds with oxygen, releasing energy as they do.

Some operating systems (macOS, most linux) do install vim by default. The problem is that vim has a very high learning curve, and most people don't want to spend time learning to edit text. Microsoft has tried doing what you described,

They can't be trying to do that, because it would be blatantly anti-competitive, as their lawyers would tell them. They might let google ads through, but if so they will let through other ad companies as well. The EU would have some ch
