Well, it's disappointing DigiCert didn't tell Google to fuck off. I hope this never comes to something like Let's Encrypt, so the vast majority of developers can never use this. Sometimes, Google needs a gentle nudge from use

If you want to use an old, unsupported OS then don't expect support. Expecting XP or say Windows 98 to still work on modern day standards is just laughable. Upgrade, or get left behind. The concept of 'never updating' isn&#x2

See, this is where data collection would actually come in useful. Noscript can collect the information as to the most common settings for each website (say youtube) and apply them automatically. Would save the whole "temp allow"

I don't get this. I also thought the new UI was horrible but actually, it makes a lot of sense. You have default, temp trusted, trusted or untrusted. It really is simple to figure out, if you can't, maybe you need an easier plugin

The BBC is under threat because they refuse to innovate. They're not yet doing full scale 4k streaming, programs disappear after X number of days, and to be quite honest, they don't offer the value for money Netflix does. And BBC&

The problem is, however, the longevity of these batteries. In the smartphone world, we've seen a huge emphasis on "50% charge in 10 seconds" but I like to believe batteries weren't designed with that in mind. I refuse to

Trash article. Author just complains about what he dislikes about browsers and how the browser should model after his thoughts exclusively. Guess what, genius? If you want all those things, install plugins. Or fork the browser yourself, the

Protonmail allows you to add PGP key. Not sure if the user just sees 'garbage' data inside the email but it's entirely possible to send E2EE email already, just encrypt the contents of the message and send that across. If the

Everyone copied Apple when they removed the headphone jack, whose to say consoles in the traditional sense will still be around in 20 years? Microsoft/Sony are NOT going to sit back and let Google win here. Expect replies from them (es

This is why we have alpha's or beta's, such that you can "opt in" but be warned it may break. Simply not supporting a browser at launch is not a good look for your product.

No JS library will stop that when you can just POST the form directly. Best let the user input as they please and let the server do the rest.

Yet, I find it funny when people also say, in the same breath "omg governments using children as scapegoat for censorship". Which is it? If you think you can have a 100% success rate you are horribly, stupidly mistaken. You WILL g

IE will go EOL for the majority of users well before 2025, simply because they're not adding features and the web _will_ break (and is already breaking) as a result. Imagine TLS 1.4, or some other change that will occur that will compl

jQuery _did_ lots of useful stuff. It's unmaintained, has no interest/support (look at their github), doesn't adapt to modern features, is 'slow' compared to other frameworks that now use the Shadow Dom, and can be

I don't agree, software needs to evolve as its dependencies does. In this case we have fetch, async/await, promises and loads more native features that jQuery hasn't adapted to (XHR is obsolete now for example). Why include a

Right - so you get all the functionality of bootstrap using CSS grid; all the modals, spinners, buttons, and most importantly: browser bug fixes and quirks people contribute over time. Bootstrap is a _framework_, not just a layout system. A

Yes...What were you expecting then to do? Usually you replace code if you're dropping a dependency. It's one less network request, saves bandwidth and removes obsolete and pretty much unmaintained code (at this point, the jQuery g

by tcd 8y ago
Why? fetch returns a native promise, which are _much much much_ nicer to work with than XHR ever was or desired to be. Good riddance.

Bootstrap 3 got an update last year, and it is already years old. It may have taken a while but at least it got _something_.
