I think this misses the problem completely. The problem is not that people that trust computers need to put more effort into understanding computers. The problem is that people keep trusting computers. What people really need to be educated

What you really mean is that it's hard to be upfront about saying "Cause your employer trouble over client needs that screw over the user" and still keep a job. The message itself can be crystal clear; broadcasting it where i

Skyrim might be a poor choice for people of those interests, but what about games like the Sims? Is it true that the video game industry has not catered to audiences like the author's friends, or has it actually catered to them all alo

A "browser" is now just a medium for exploration? Not necessarily webpages, but whatever type of content the particular "browser" happens to revolve around? That's not a legitimate redefining of the term "brows

"Behind" feels like the wrong term, but you're definitely holding yourself back. The good thing about SASS (or, well, SCSS, which is what you would want to use) is that it integrates directly with CSS, so you can start utiliz

So that person then is forbidden from attending these meetings? There are two problems with that: 1. Even if employees get to opt out, others still know they opted out. And that can create mistrust on both sides. "Why did Bob opt out

That's a great attitude for the browser--and I completely agree that decentralization is important for the browser--but does your opinion here extend to server-side JS as well?

SVGs also have less chance of inhering unwanted code, typically. But this can vary with your CSS writing styles.

Yeah, I don't know why scholars approach ancient texts as though figurative writing was not available to them, and that their words can be taken at face value, without a need for understanding a variety of applicable contexts.
