It would probably be like other letters like þ that are no longer fashionable in some languages. Or not-so-small parts of Hanzi. Or completely dead scripts. That being said, Emoji are a drop in a bucket when it comes to the number of encode

It's not just the contents; it's the tag itself. The only thing that is special to my knowledge is that the HTML 5 parser understands it and applies the correct XML namespace. ... Ah, but thinking about it while I type these lines

In hindsight I missed a few obvious ones (completely forgot lists), but would have expected HTML 4 tags to still be HTML tags (font, etc.). And I do wonder why SVG is on that list, which can be used inside HTML, but is pretty much not an HT

AFAIR it was the localized name of the file type. File extensions would never go through i18n/l10n.

We did something like that as well. Cost was comparable to just buying rings (most of that was the gold, anyway). We started with a blank strip of metal with the correct cross-section, which was first bent, then soldered together, then size

As far as I understood it, plate armor would help very little against things moving at orbital speeds. Either it penetrates or it creates spalling on the other side. Either option isn't particularly nice.

The hosting API is completely different. Roslyn handles VB.NET and C# with basically the same API. Adding PowerShell is akin to writing the core part of all that a second time. Not that it can't be done, but most of the time PowerShell

I felt XHTML had fairly limited adoption on the web and in many cases web page authors seem to have preferred the »render tag soup« approach that in most cases did the intended thing than having to deal with XML namespaces, proper nesting a

It renders them to a bitmap once, which is what you view, then. Even when zooming in, you only get the initial bitmap scaled.

In addition to the other comment, PowerShell loads a profile script where a user may freely remove aliases or redefine them as they see fit. It's also a reason why my command line for executing PowerShell scripts includes -noprofile.

Interesting that VBScript uses Unix time for timestamps. I would have expected something like FILETIME (NT's 1601 epoch) or OLE DateTime, which uses floating point with the integral part referring to days since 1899 and the fractional

Jeffrey Snover once answered this on Stack Overflow. The answer is that bash and all the other Unix tools wouldn't help you very much on an operating system where things are accessible via an API and not via text files and command-line

Scripts should not use the aliases because they can differ across machines or users. The cmdlet names are stable. That being said, for quick one-off scripts my code looks very much like my command-line usage, which is somewhere between ters

Wouldn't you get the same benefits by turning off JavaScript altogether? I'd expect there to be very little trivial JS (by that extension's definition) on the vast majority of sites that use JS.

Unicode in general doesn't like encoding arbitrary markup unless absolutely necessary. And for historical character sets the scope is limited and finite, so just using four code points is much easier than trying to specify a higher-ord

No, I meant that we've written a compiler, based on Roslyn, whose runtime for compiling the code has improved by 20 % when switching to .NET 6. And indeed, on the C# -> IL side there's little that's being actually optimize

Not sure about the 10×, either, and if true it would involve more than just the JIT changes. But changing ASP.NET to ASP.NET Core at the same time and the web server as well as other libraries may make it plausible. For certain applications

This is a problem with all maps. You cannot show everything, so you reduce it to something you want the map to show. While things like waste baskets, hydrants, dog excrement bag dispensers, etc. Can reasonably show up on deep zoom levels be
