No argument here. For some reason, people feel like this should be a replacement for traditional luggage tags. I do not understand this mindset. I’d prefer to have a dedicated loop for my bag and the inside attachment points just aren’t big

This might also explain why the first party luggage loop accessory seems to have been (unfortunately) memory-holed. I think third parties still sell them out of excess inventory, but they've been harder to come by in recent times. My

As the platform owner, they explicitly reserve the right to do this - see also Meta, Google, Amazon, etc. Apple collects data, but they usually keep it for their own use, that's the difference. Third parties trying to do the same lev

I see the appeal of using Gmail to manage all of your mail, including the fact that you can still send through external SMTP servers, but it's just not for me. Native clients continue to improve, and the mismatch between how I handle G

Why are people surprised by this? (No, really) IMAP "defeated" POP long ago if you wanted to use a third-party client but still access mail from anywhere. By definition, this doesn't work in a POP environment, but that&#x27

Sourcing .zshrc works reasonably well. I have the following at the end of setup.sh -- which creates symlinks and sets up other configurations. makeLinks does most of the work, then sets Homebrew's zsh as the default shell -- this curre

There's a reason why the CSS ["reset"][1] is still with us - the lower level user-agent stylesheet never really adopted any of this stuff. Presumably, this was to reduce the delta between browser engines (vendor prefixes, etc

As @rollcat said, I suspect this means that people can contribute modifications, but that they cannot be distributed outside of the official sources. So, while you can send a patch to add a feature, you couldn't release that modified v

How can you be sure that a targeted attack can't exfiltrate all available fields? For the record, I don't have a great answer to this either -- genuinely curious.

Multimarkdown has similar features so far as I know, but it has the same problem as Markdown.pl: written by one person, with a bunch of spot fixes and so isn't really reproducible or extendible by anyone else without running into bugs.

Admittedly, I didn't spend more than 5-10 minutes looking through the specs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The existence of comments about how certain elements were rendered on export made me think that something was missing when compared with CM.

I would have expected this to export CommonMark, but it seems like it's not quite up to that yet. Is that on the board for a future release? This isn't to say I prefer CM -- because Markdown came into being from Gruber's scri

Stick downdoc on the end of that pipeline and you're done -- unless you prefer working in AsciiDoc, I guess. Not my thing, but you do you... https://github.com/opendevise/downdoc

File name extensions .[1] I'm not saying you're wrong, but let's be clear about what these are. I would point out that Linux inherited some, but not all of its naming conventions from Unix (as did macOS), but at least here,

This scenario is precisely why the outcome of Chevron is useful -- and, I'd argue, vital in addressing areas where legislation is needed, even if we still disagree about what shape it might take. Congress' process takes too long t

Congress, in its current state is a sclerotic body barely capable of doing routine committee work that doesn't even rise to the level of passing laws. They had their chance...and failed spectacularly.
