This makes me very happy. As a frontend engineer who started 15 years ago, learning the box model required a lot of knowledge of the internals of the browser. The times of having to know things like quirks mode, abusing overflow hidden [1],

Yes and no. Browser differences are mostly disappearing, they have gained some very good APIs are CSS has gained significant layout capabilities with grids and flex. So the need for libraries like jQuery for dealing with DOM differences is

You don't need a zoned date. You can invert the question and ask if a zoned datetime falls within a plain date. Temporal is very well designed thanks to building on years of prior art. Give it a try and you'll realize that it lead

The industry is definitely dropping the ball on offline. To give us credit, legal/privacy issues don't make it easy.

I've been using this small library inspired by Elm/Swift decoders [1]. It works, but it's not low boilerplate. I'm gravitating towards GraphQL now because strict parsing is built into it, so there is no need for all this

Highly debatable. In fact, trying to classify it as a dark pattern may derail the very valid discussion that the FTC is trying to have. There are significantly worse patterns out there. See [1]. What the push notification pattern is, is an

Is this really a dark pattern? There's tons of truly deceptive practices but this is one where websites are plainly asking for permissions.

It's not just about security. It's also about democracy. Who can verify that a voting system is secure? Only software engineers. And to be honest, only a small subset of them. Your own comment hints at that. Paper ballots allow an

The parent-child problem you mention can be addressed with names. Children can say "grid-name: footer". This is just a hint for the parent to decide where to place it in the grid. Then the parent can use grid-template-areas to arr

I'm surprised there's so many comments here about demographic data while that's only a really basic view into current ad tech. Since the late 2000s ad networks have invested heavily in retargeting [1]. It's quite common

For $150 you get the console and 12 games. That's not too bad.

I was also a bit disappointed to find basic arithmetic. There is more. I was expecting something like an algorithm for a tile layout like https://masonry.desandro.com/ or https://github.com/d3/d3-hierar

If I learned anything working at large companies is that hardware is never close to being as expensive as headcount.

Jana is doing this by building a browser (mCent) that shows people ads in exchange for tokens that they can use to buy mobile data. It's becoming really popular in India. http://www.mcentbrowser.com/

I thought they had confirmed LIGO's detection of gravitational waves coming from a certain pulsar that Fermi saw independently. The article you link to seems to be about gravitational waves from the background. I'm also curious no

While it might be true that the temperatures of rocket fuel burning are enough to create plasma and some reactions that lead to mass turning into energy, I think Jabavu is right in that the energy comes from the chemical reaction, not from

I'm seriously concerned about this. "Self-driving" is not a library that you get from Github and just dump it into your car. Waymo has been doing this for a decade. Do GM's claims mean that Waymo's experience doesn&

I wonder if they've made any significant advancements in input latency. Something like this was my dream device when I was in college.
