I would hope that all screen readers would respect display:none. The aria-hidden is for CYA, banning even one blind user would be quite bad optics (as is this sentence now that I think about it).

Yes, but for most of human history we didn't have contraception either. People had children because it was either that or abstinence, and abstinence sucks. Not to mention the need to create heirs who could look after you when you becam

You are both right. UUIDs, if randomly generated from a CSPRNG are impossible to guess. But not all UUIDs are generated from a secure RNG, or use randomness at all.

Would anyone be surprised if an accomplished concert pianist played C Bb Bb instead of C E in a piece they had played thousands of times correctly? The only difference here is that the consequences are death instead of mere head shaking. Mu

The problem is that AI leads to extremely bimodal distribution of improvement. Sometimes it doesn't help at all. Other times it spits out several hours of work in seconds. It's like asking what is the weighted average of 1 and inf

Hmm. As a Brit I would not consider a trip to Paris to be "tourism". It's just a trip over the border. Yes they speak a different language there but it's a language that I was forced to study in school. No doubt Germans

That is the western European way though. It's supposed to be a nice place to live, not a nice place to do business. If that leads to Chaebolification of the economy then so be it. There are other parts of the world that specialise in d

Not as obvious as a Starlink transmitter though! Sending the position only requires a few bits, let's say 48. A position update requires even less, depending on how far it could have travelled since the last known position. At such low

How else are you going to render a sequence such as Emoji ZWJ Emoji other than as two glyphs, if no composed glyph is defined in the user's font? That's how it's supposed to be rendered, for backwards compatibility.

ARE YOU OVER 40 AND THE ONLY AI YOU KNOW IS CHATGPT? The burden of proof is on the ads to justify why they should be watched, given that the ads themselves provide zero value to the viewer. YouTube ads in particular are a cesspit of scams

That's just survivorship bias isn't it? The newcomers who find Go's design and/or leadership obnoxious get a job that doesn't involve doing something that they dislike.
