You say "no solution" like form validation isn't one of the most common things that all web forms do today. Solutions exist. What I'm trying to say is instead of browser building adding high-level functionality like th

I don't see what difference it makes whether you use some component built into the browser or some component built on top of the browser. This article already starts out with how many ways you can screw up this built in browser feature

This is one of these things that sounds perfectly logical -- you want all UI components to look and behave the same across all applications and all websites -- but that is more theoretical than practical. If you built an app that used just

I don't know, what browser functionality are we talking about? Even this form validation has to be implemented; I don't think I've ever even seen it in the wild. What percentage of websites are rolling their own functionalit

I couldn't disagree more; it might be good for disability but for localization, unusual devices, different input methods, weird screen sizes I have never seen that well executed by browsers. I almost always prefer a more full-featured

After reading all this, I think I'd still choose to do it away from the browser built in capabilities. I'd rather have full control over the process and the design than rely on the limited capabilities of browsers. The browser is

Modern capitalism isn't particularly rational. Money in the pocket is more tangible than minor brand damage. If you want to be really cynical, you can assume that somebody at McDonald's and Taylor have crunched the numbers they k

So you've had about 5 years to watch 20 good shows. I've seen a bunch of these long ago. After that, what's left?

> On top of all of that, Apple TV+ has the added albatross of requiring their hardware for the shows You do not need Apple hardware to watch Apple TV+ -- I'm watching it just fine on my LG TV with WebOS.

But shows are now mostly one large arc now. So really every episode from the first to the last is an advertisement for the next season.

High quality is not enough. I've watched a few Apple TV shows and I agree that they are high quality but that doesn't mean I want to watch them all. Many of them simply don't interest me or suit my mood. With just a few no

Apple TV+ library is also incredibly small -- there's little excuse to go back and see what new shows are in there because there usually aren't any. I wonder how many people are burnt out on dramas that have 8-10 episode seasons,

There are some queries that are actually easier to compose in LINQ syntax than even in SQL. However, like everyone else, I rarely find myself actually using it. Anything really complex is done in pure SQL and everything else is method syn

I think 8bits (really 7 bits) was chosen because it holds a value closest to +/- 100. What is regular just depends on how you look at it.

I'm not sure why you think being able to store values from -512 to +511 is more logical than -128 to +127?

I'm saying the term "Word" abstracting the number of bytes a CPU can process in a single operation is an outdated concept. We don't really talk about word-sized values anymore. Instead we mostly explicit on the size of

by wvenable 2y ago
As an abstraction on the size of a CPU register, it really turned out to be more confusing than useful.

"Word" is an outdated concept we should try to get rid of.

Each block or piece of mother glass can be used for dozens or even hundreds of LCDs but it seems obvious that there are only so many ways you can effectively slice it. While manufacturers can theoretically produce custom-sized LCD panels, i

by wvenable 2y ago
Yes, LCDs are made as giant sheets that are cut into panels. They will want to cut those sheets in a way to ensure the least amount of waste as possible. They are not making them completely arbitrary sizes.

Screens come in standard sizes. It might simply be that they can't fit all the parts inside, including the battery, without making the device bigger than the standard screen size and so you get bezels. Bigger devices have more room i

It doesn't seem that bad -- the lack of readonly would be my only concern out of that article and one I didn't actually consider. I think, as a feature, this is sort of the MVP. They could have done a better job of it by adding m

There is misinformation out there, for sure, but I fail to see your point. People will happily recommend installing Linux over Windows but then suggest you shouldn't dare to touch the registry! That makes no sense. Windows 10 basicall
