Smoking in public is widely banned. Campfires in populated areas are usually limited to very specific recreational areas. Home wood fires in populated areas are often banned and should be as long as there are reasonable alternatives.

The externalities are all the costs of medical problems and deaths due to pollution, as well as reduced property values due to polluted areas being less desirable. For the former I’d say a ban is appropriate, unless you’re suggesting to som

The simple answer is that inline styles lack support for a bunch of basic stuff like pseudo-classes and media queries. I think the Tailwind team would tell you that they would love to have native web support for full-featured inline styles

Separation of powers as it’s described in civics class also doesn’t even pass the sniff test. As soon as you hear the idea your first question should be “why wouldn’t the 3 branches collude to the detriment of the public?”

Is the goal to fund more creators, or just to have fewer people with a supposed obligation to fund creators?
613.
by tshaddox 1y ago
Note that this, like ad blocking or piracy, also doesn’t help fund the creators.

This can't be a new thing, right? For decades there have been entire businesses dedicated to buying and selling hard copies of video games, and online play has been common for at least one decade. I think it's on them to figure ou

We know that there are spelling differences, but most of us probably only know the most prominent ones. In my estimation, this one is quite obscure.

Fluent American readers are likely to think "practise" is a typo. It's not even one of the commonly-known British/American spelling differences (like "color"/"colour"). Unless you know your audie

Yeah, I've got the vocab, I just never associated index cards with that use case because growing up we only ever used index cards for labeling, note-taking, arts and crafts, and flash cards.

And the use of punch cards in computing is (arguably) inspired by the textile industry. Punched cards were used to configure looms starting way back in the 1700s.
