JavaScript is not necessary on the majority of pages it's used on, but to say everybody should stop using it on the web is absurd. JS makes Google Docs, Slack, and a thousand other applications possible; without it, they'd need to

The vehicle didn't even have any engines on it when it failed. SpaceX was planning to perform cryogenic pressure tests with simulated engine thrust, then if that was successful, mount three Raptor engines and perform static fire tests

Because an HSL value translated directly to sRGB will look different when translated to P3. The color spaces themselves define different ranges of R, G, and B. The only backwards-compatible method to derive P3 colors from HSL values would b

VR is still new, and with a 180 degree field of view, either the pixel-per-degrees would be painfully low (very low-resolution) or it would be high-resolution, but no computer would be able to push all the pixels.

Vivaldi is based on Chromium, so it's best to imitate the same engine. * Yes, I know that Edge is now based on Chromium. But given the two, it's better to pretend to be your parent browser, rather than a sibling.

The solution common to Boeing and SpaceX is the same: they have three (Boeing) or four (SpaceX) separate parachutes, each with their own drogue chutes, and they both can handle a single deployment failure without endangering the crew.
