That's only a hard requirement if you're creating a web component. Unknown elements are treated as inline elements by default, so if you're just using it for styling and using global attributes (even JS ones like onclick), yo

I'm a vegetarian on principle, and have no problem eating GMO anything. OTOH, I've been vegetarian for 15 years and most meat flavors and textures have worn on me.

Amusingly, I'm in the reverse situation: loving working in Haskell and reeally want to try Rust but I just don't have the time. For what it's worth, Haskell can be compiled to code that's quite fast. Somewhat unfortunate

Apple's T&Cs are so long because they usually show you like 6 different documents, most of which aren't even in regard to iTunes. (Google does this too.)

It depends on how you've packaged your application. Technically, yes, the user needs NW.js to run your application, but you can ship with NW.js if you like (it's just one fat executable). When NW.js is run, it looks for a NW.js ap

I don't know, I always found the perl and zsh man pages to be rather pleasant. They were sprawling, sure, but having long ago given up on brevity, they have no fear of meticulously describing how a feature or flag works. And they'

Between Bob's army and insipid comments rising to the top, the comments sections of a lot of interesting, community oriented channels became useless (more so, even, than before). If nobody is actually looking at the comments section, t

I don't know about the rest of G+, but since the integration, I've been unable to comment on YouTube videos with my G+ account, something that worked fine before. I'd certainly call that "not usable".

Google Translate actually doesn't do a terrible job on the article text (it's not perfect, but it's understandable). It does kind of mess-up the English in the email though.

To be fair, if camus hasn't heard of Edge it isn't his fault - it's Adobe's. Which, in a way, helps to emphasize his point.

I've wondered for a while if the price for television advertising was/is inflated due to the fact that there's no way to track its impact. Web advertisements usually pay per click these days, which at least measures some kind of engagemen

Having gone to RIT in New York, which contains the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, that seems a dubious claim. I lived with and went to school with a lot of deaf people, many completely, utterly deaf (no hear aids of any kind), a

Without threading support though, you aren't really encouraging discussion; just a bunch of one-off comments on the original material. And even then, you end up with ad-hoc threading like you see on MetaFilter or 4Chan, where new comments a

Man, I hate incremental and hlsearch :) I'd agree with you on hidden but... the Vim defaults are (generally) the most vi-like settings, which makes some amount of sense. At the very least it keeps people from squabbling about what should be

Historically, in the United States anyway, unions were less about making it harder to fire people (per se), and more about forcing employers to think about things like safety, reasonable work hours (supposedly, one of the first major labor

I don't think you'd easily win the argument, unless the parties involved generally didn't sign non-disparagement agreements. I was once laid off from a company that gave me a small (but significant to me) severance check in exchange for sig

I'll second the bang syntax. As the your browser's search provider, it's like having dozens of context-specific search engines built in.

The problem with that question, to me, is that the 10% difference in outcome is nearly inconsequential. By the time I'm losing (or gaining) $900, what's another $100? If the proportions were different, I think the question would be more int

Usually when people say "the heap" (especially in the context of garbage collection) they mean the memory where new (non-stack) data/objects are allocated from. Usually this is the bulk of memory an application uses. There are other meani

In my personal opinion? If you are they person/company able to provide a necessary good (a patented, life-saving medicine say), then you have a moral obligation to sell it. Similarly, I believe it immoral to sell a necessary good at exorbit

You miss my point I think. You can't eat a bank note, and you haven't killed a person you've parted it from. Indeed, requesting more bank notes than necessary for something is many levels of abstraction removed from doing a person direct ha

I'm not so sure. People tend to have a very easy grasp of moral/immoral when it involves direct action ("It is wrong to stab this guy because he cut in line"), but the more abstract the situation, the more people need metaphor and analogies

I don't know about CNN, MSNBC, or Aljazeera, but Fox News admitted to fabricating stories and lying in court (bizarrely, they won the right to lie and call it news in said same court). http://ceasespin.org/ceasespin_blog/ceasespin_blogger_
