I would swap the expressions on each side of the '&&' around. While JS doesn't care (as it'll apply '>' to just about anything, even in strict mode), this is perhaps a stronger statement of intent:

HN isn't: your browser is. Runs of whitespace are collapsed in HTML to single spaces unless specifically styled otherwise. You can verify that they're there by viewing the page source.

Hell, every time you use some -AAS or 'The Cloud', you're basically using big iron.

It's arguable whether Symbian really quite made the jump to being a smartphone OS though, given the limitations baked into the OS. There are good reasons why Android overtook it.

There are plenty of drug companies out there selling heroin. However, they do it under the generic name 'diamorphine'. Heroin was a Bayer trademark that became a colloquial term for the drug.

He's arguing about ideological stagnation. That's bad regardless of just about what the ideology is and whether you agree with the particular. To quote Max Planck, "Science progresses one funeral at a time." That's

While Memrise and Duolingo might seem similar on the surface, the focus of Memrise is more on vocabulary, whereas Duolingo is a bit more holistic.

You'd just be replacing one inconsistency with another: you couldn't use any command names as package names or the reverse without some kind of special case, which would be just as bad. The real solution would be to get rid of the

No, no, Python very much does. PEP 0249 specifies DB API 2, PEP 0333 specifies WSGI, and PEP 3153 specifies the asyncio interface, for instance. If anything, I can think of more examples of it being done in the Python space than the PHP spa

I'm not sure I see wxWidgets as being the real problem here. The real problem is bad UI design, and you'd end up with that regardless of the toolkit used.

I woudn't mind so much if they were running WordPress on the same machine if it were isolated in a container or jail. There's certainly no excuse not to do so these days now that php-fpm exists.

If by 'high density', do you mean a town of about 12,000? Because there are Argos shops here in Ireland in towns with populations like that out in the west coast where the population density is relatively low.

April Fools RFCs get tagged as 'informational', not 'standards track'. This is in the latter category.

Well, she's not wrong. The situation with the Roma across Europe is a weird one that's completely separate from the homelessness situation. [All of this is a simplification, and I'm omitting a lot here. The gist ought to be c

Once upon a time, it did and in some varieties still does: its origin was in a lost /s/ (later other deleted consonants too, IIRC), which lead to compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel. You can still see this in some vari

One important thing about writing 'z' rather than 'ts' is that is makes it more obvious that it's the affricate 'ts' rather 't' followed by 's', which can seem like a subtle difference

Companies. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of corporate environments with machines using XP, and 3DES is usually kept on to support those.

DANE comes with its own complications: it means you need DNSSEC, and that's a bit of a pain to set up at the best of times, especially with there being no way to currently automating DS/DNSKEY record updates to maintain the trust

It's a win-win if it means it replaces the 'stuff you might've missed' nonsense, which isn't opt-in.

I don't think people care so much about the addition of anything so much as the lack of any possibility of permanently turning it off. At least in this case, it's optional, but the related 'stuff you might have missed' &

If Rand is the best reference, then I'm not sure those boards are all that well worth taking part in. Sanders isn't a Maxist/Marxian by a long shot. He might describe himself as a democratic socialist, but he's really

It doesn't usually though. It only contributes when you're asked to enter house numbers. The usual CAPTCHAs I see from them are the ones coming from their book scanning project, which I see as a public good. Are there any CAPTCHA

First up, dropping copulas is pretty common practice in new headlines. There's no loss in information or any obfuscation. Hammond made a statement, thus the 'says' in the headline. 'Branding' is attaching a label or
