If the browser absolutely 100% of the time knew that difference and showed "Wikipedia FR > Canada", wouldn't it be much simpler for the average user? The browser could even show specialized UI such as "FR" as a c

For the record, jQuery 3.3.1 (production, normal) is at 30kb [1]; if you don't want effects (production, slim), you can get it for less than 24kb [2]. For the value it provides, that does not sound "too big" to me. [1]: http

That's insane, what could those 3 engineers possibly be doing for 3 days? - const, reference and function argument should be pretty obvious from the code context - LastNameCol seems like self-describing... of course you would have to k

That "decentralized" image makes no sense at all. It's essentially the same one as the "centralized" one. What a joke.

Hmm they do #2 already, and #4 (ish, no unions yet but threats of unionizing), elon musk is pretty much a guaranteed check on #6 and as for #7... can you be more run down than in the middle of the desert?
