For me the hump was from the get-go. Following the book, I installed Rust directly, but then i realized that I should've installed it via Rustup. Next, I want a good editing environment, so I install VS Code and Racer, but then I find

To people helping others on the internet who claim to be security professionals, remember to make sure that the person is actually trustworthy, so you're not helping criminals. Even though a_cherepanov is a new account with only this c

It's an encoding that isn't good at anything: it's neither ASCII-compatible (like UTF-8), nor fixed-length (like UTF-32), but because most characters require only 2 bytes, developers frequently assume that none require more,

If you don't need to dynamically evaluate the code, compiling ES.next code will be more performant, e.g. using Babel.

Perhaps you didn't catch that basically the difference between let and var is that let is block-scoped, while var is function-scoped? let result = 0; for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { result += arr[i]; }

In general, it looks really good. - I'd like some more focus on keyboard navigation. Make sure that everything looks good when tabbing, even if you've used arrow keys first. - Anti-phishing: A long domain name will trim the end in

I note that mozilla.org is on that list. Does anybody know if they're affected?

It's a one-line fix to make it intuitive, but that's not what's needed here. Ultimately there should be some spec so that browser vendors can converge towards a single behavior.

That patch would not be welcome. The patch to make the behavior intuitive is literally to remove "!important" from one CSS file. They're not changing because they're afraid to break the web.

Well, I always open a private window if that's the case.

Because that's not possible to style with CSS.

One thing that helps me is to imitate the expression and try to feel what I feel when I'm doing it. Not always right, but sometimes I go from not having a clue to being sure.

Hollywood is pushing DRM and requiring its use. Netflix wants DRM (via Hollywood), but Youtube doesn't currently seem to mind being DRM free. If DRM capability becomes ubiquitous, Youtube might become DRMed, but that's on a longer

Oh, didn't know. You could even force highlight colors, by explicitly setting border or outline colors.

by Skalman 13y ago
Such a simple idea - but it does make it easier to follow. The only problem I have is that it's very mac-centric. On my system the focus color is orange and it looks a bit off. I'd suggest to use the highlight color: box-shado

Somehow, despite not understanding why exactly we exist, what our purpose is, and that at any given moment we could die and cease to exist, we don't go insane. Do you have any idea how crazy that is? I don't get why people need

But I thought the point was that they didn't consider this to be a security vulnerability.

I can't get that to work in Firefox 25.

If you can get a user to click a link which exposes CSS injection, it can be a security issue. For instance, you could change the text of links and buttons, and otherwise trick the user into doing something that s/he wouldn't ot

At least in Firefox Aurora 25 there's a small search icon to the right in the inspector. But its search functionality seems buggy... Edit: It only shows searches as a CSS expression, and it doesn't show the results in the DOM view

I feel that CSS is pretty well designed. The problem is that it has so many ways to do the same thing, and the fact that vertical and horizontal layout don't work the same way.

I agree that it's a disaster, but : Is there any better language? I feel that very few of the "native" variants have APIs that are simpler to deal with. (Of course Sass is much better than vanilla CSS, but it's basicall

Yes, it has. I think that's why it was posted - someone at Opera predicted/suggested/wanted this to happen.
