Wasting the time of someone who put no effort whatsoever into their work and wants you to put in a lot of effort? Fine by me.

Responsivity is a few hundred bytes of CSS. Modern formats for fonts (woff2) and images (webp) allow you to squeeze them in a couple hundred kilobytes, which still leaves plenty of room for scripts.

I recently found out that Teams was taking up over 5 GB on my laptop. The incompetence of Microsoft developers knows no bounds.

On the other hand, if they’re down but don’t report it, couldn’t they be sued for fraud?

Back in the early internet, nobody had enough bandwidth to transmit 512 kB in a reasonable time, so clearly it has to be possible.

The example with x/d seems to be wrong because the compiler inserts a redundant <mrow> around the slash operator. Temml seems to render it better. (There is still spacing, unlike the LaTeX version, but honestly I prefer that.)

Okay, so BLM is racist and only cares about violence if it fits their narrative, but what does that have to do with the situation?
825.
by xigoi 1y ago
The “racial aspect” is a projection of people who want to make everything about race. Do you think the situation would’ve been different if the officer was black?

Expressiveness and standard library size are unrelated. Python is just as expressive as JavaScript.

How so? Advent candles increment once per week, which is even lower frequency.

Being a useful tool does not justify having an extremely inconsistent and unnecessarily confusing UI.

I still don’t get how it "adds two numbers" do calc = Calculator.new expect(calc.add(2, 3)).to eq(5) end is supposed to be more readable than test "add two numbers": let calc = Calculator.new
