I criticized the reversal on "is" just yesterday, so that was awkward [1]. Since this is on the internet, I must defend my position. I believe it is a major blow to the usefulness of Custom Elements simply because developers will

One could speculate further and propose that it refers to Narada Michael Walden's "Gimme Gimme Gimme" from 1985: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUzQv71iVeU .

If these proposed browsers don’t ship with a JS engine [1], do you also hope to have more than one internet around? [1] Such as V8, Chakra, JavaScriptCore, SpiderMonkey, Rhino, Nashorn, there is a variety to choose from, also experimental m

For folks like the OP who would categorize Tropical Drums Of Deutschland as "morning music", and respect for that, genres stopped making sense about two decades ago. The release is officially classified as both Jazz, Folk, World a

The way I remember it, there was a guy called Hixie something that was in charge of standards implementation at Mozilla and made a terrific job at that. But then he got hired by Opera and saw that there was no point in competing with Gecko

I guess the rendering of custom XML documents was more supposed to be controlled by CSS via the processing instruction <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="styles.css"?>. It's a little known fact that t

It's not like Vue has been implemented in Angular. All the ass-kicking frameworks are built on W3C standards.

Custom elements is like an API of six methods `connectedCallback`, `disconnectedCallback`, attributeChangedCallback`, `adoptedCallback`, `attributes` and `register`. I don't see why this must nescessarily be compared with React or Vue

XBL 2.0 was doing well on the standard track and would have made that happen [1], but it died along with all the other technologies whose acronym starts with an X. Flexbox was by the way implemented in Mozilla back then, I used it all the t

When you boost the loudness too much (for your specific turntable to handle), the needle will simply jump out of the groove, not kidding.

Since you are here, can you also surface anything about potential plans for offering an improved (and possibly paid-for) streaming quality and/or offering the mixes available for download? I'm in it for the mixes and I want to lov

by wiredearp 9y ago
Well, if the uploader remembered to enable that setting, you can download the mixes in a much better quality than the 128 kbps streaming quality that both services use. Sometimes even in WAV of FLAC format. This was not possible on Mixcloud

I would pay a premium price to stream in better quality and I cannot for my life figure out why no one has ever suggested this in any of the many recent SoundCloud threads or why SoundCloud hasn't thought of this themselves. But I gues

If you plan to remove that event listener later on, you would need to go full verbose. this._callback = this.handleMouseDown.bind(this); elm.addEventListener('mousedown', this._callback); elm.removeEventListener('mous

That's the fun part, because here you can code your event handling to read something more like a state machine. Here's a quick example in bogus code, adding and removing event listeners as we go along (and without keeping referenc

I guess the function could still be anonymous, but you will at least need to keep it assigned to some variable or property name. If you make use of the `handleEvent` pattern that @carussell suggested, you can however avoid having to keep tr
