Do the trees that they plant actually grow into full-sized adult trees or are they planted but never cared for? That's a huge issue which apparently affects many of these tree-planting schemes.

Christ. I forgot about the default visual tab switcher. It's truly horrendous. That, and the "insert related tab after current" behaviour, are the first things I turn off. Horrible.

This website caused a massive spike in CPU usage on my instance of Firefox. Not sure what's going on but I wouldn't trust this site at all.

Surely the uploader could just re-title it "Home-made cheese inspired by Grana Padano". I doubt there'd be any legal issues with that.

Where's the best place to suggest a new feature or improvement for PHP? I've always wanted to see `foreach` get a built-in iterator/counter so you don't have to create and use a counter variable manually. Current way: $i

Wish they would have factored in things like performance impact; Zendesk for example is by far the largest and longest-loading script on my website. I hate it. As soon as I find a truly lightweight live chat solution which doesn't suck

If you're on the Firefox team (or know anyone who is) please encourage them to make Firefox customisable again. It gets worse with every updated. More options are stripped back in favour of "simplicity". Firefox made a name f

Twitter is garbage as far as I'm concerned. I use Firefox with uBlock (standard lists) and uMatrix (all Twitter-related requests permitted) and it's still buggy as hell. If I try to paste anything into the "compose tweet&quot

6MB of JS without ads? What are you loading into the browser, an entire operating system?

by wackget 6y ago
Why is this advertisement written as if it's a news article? Starting it with `Cupertino, California -` as if it's breaking news and then launching into a complete sales pitch is just so slimy.

What kind of stuff do you use it for? I watched the intro video and I get it would be useful for "monitoring" Twitter and stuff like that, but are there more practical day-to-day uses for it?

"Best" is subjective, though, isn't it? What do you regard as being better? Personally I hate frameworks like Zend which abstract database operations into multi-parameter functions. It serves very little purpose when you can

I blame bad developers for this. Marketers will always pull this shit, but a conscientious developer will ensure the browser's "Do Not Track" setting is respected. Take note, developers; it's as simple as this: if

That's not really an excuse. A developer might be asked to implement Facebook tracking code, but a conscientious developer will ensure the browser's "Do Not Track" setting is respected. It's as simple as: if (

Yeah I came here to ask this. Using relative units for layout seems like a terrible idea. If you want to make your text a little bigger, your entire layout changes too. That's fine if it's something like text padding or paragraph

Sorry but that example code looks confusing as hell. If I saw that code without any context, I really wouldn't be able to tell you what it's doing. Seriously, this is why I hate modern web development. Absolutely everything seems

Anyone got a "hello world" example of an app made with this which doesn't rely on other frameworks and uses only vanilla HTML/JS/CSS? All the examples on the site are built on top of vue.js.

It's ironic that this site doesn't work without enabling third-party external JavaScript.
