Why so serious? EDIT: I knew that would get a laugh. It was a good joke. I chortled. I don't get offended by every off-hand phrase in life when no one's hurt in the process. If you're offended by the joke then you are the one

If you're a home builder, I would expect you to already have what you need to build one, and not running elsewhere to buy parts that everyone uses on their houses, too. Unless you're just a tract house builder cranking 'em ou

Try telling that to most noobish programmers, and all redditors, and see where it gets you. I can't agree more with all your comments here but I've been downvoted into oblivion for saying the same things.

I use a pad of paper. I have lots of pads of paper. None of them did I have to purchase. They were given to me at work or elsewhere for free. So refills are free, too. Without cranking. And I get to use my favorite desk. I can clutter it up

"I can't think of one" as a username screams "asshole who thinks he knows it all"? Wow. You should hear my thoughts now.

One quick example. Certain elements are, or can be made to be, "inline" which gets them treated the same as characters on a line. Thus those elements, such as an image, will have white space between them as a word does in a paragr

So don't tell the truth? It's interesting that people on Hacker News are intimidated so easily when confronted with such things.

Quit reading stupid articles written by out-of-work people with nothing better to do.

Complaints such as his, and most of the comments so far below, show a total lack of knowledge of the science and underpinnings behind the whole thing and the only supported proof throughout is silly, invalid examples of markup no one would

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
Invalid markup means you are relying on the browser to read your intent or your mind. They are very good at doing that but no self-respecting web developer would ever do such an insane thing as your example. EDIT: Interesting about the down

Because whitespace matters in HTML.

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
You are confused. HTML is used to describe the structure of the document, not its visuals. CSS has nothing to do with the HTML content so your complaint about the property/value thing is misplaced and inlining CSS, as you show, is frow

Not when you know what you're doing and don't use auto code generators.

OT but, on Chrome and Firefox on FreeBSD, all the images and most of the text have the opacity of the images set to zero in their CSS and I can only see a couple of headlines. I presume their javascript is not detecting something correctly

So, you mean like Unix/Linux/BSD always has?

You can come up with all kinds of "what ifs" while forgetting our (in the US) system of checks and balances which protestors forget about and want to circumvent by creating vigilante groups to take care of matters on their own. An

Straw man arguments all the way around with plenty of assumptions. You presume the government's intention is to monitor him and watch his every move to work against him. The fact is, the government may scan something about him looking

His point is the last half. He's not a "person of interest" in these surveillance activities so it doesn't concern him; and it shouldn't.

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
No. I have no need to. There are better things to do with my time. It's like saying I won't drive my car on the street because the police are watching you. But the police are looking for bad guys, not me. I'm not a bad guy. I

Tell me when you've found better. In the meantime, you didn't say anything about the other test. Suffice to say, if IE11 was that great, they wouldn't be dumping it and rewriting. That's considerable effort.

Where do you find something like this there?

It takes a few seconds to load on a 100Mb connection but Chrome works fine on FreeBSD.

Speed is NEVER the mark of a good browser. It can be a point on a list but, if it fails to properly implement standards or work in all devices, that's a failed browser. It's not the whole picture. But you say you agree with my poi

Speed is not the mark of a good browser. If you are using speed as your mark, then you have never coded for the web and have never gone through the trials and tribulations of IE. If speed was the target, then Lynx would be the best of brows

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
If you are having problems in the other browsers, and not IE, then you're doing it wrong. Never, ever use IE as a reference for how things should work. THAT is the reason you are having trouble with the other browsers.
27.
by icantthinkofone 12y ago
No web developer worth his salt writes code for any one browser. You write code to the standard and test in browsers. Anyone doing differently should be fired on the spot. I'm not aware of any professional web developer who does that.

Blink unloads a lot of legacy components in a way that Microsoft is attempting to do now.

I thoroughly disagree. Net Neutrality, today, is case in point. Until Chrome came along, Firefox was going it alone against IE. Until Google Fiber came along, we all had less than 10Mb downloads for $80/month. There's much, much m

No. Despite the experience of those who do a little bit of web dev, those of us who treat the web as our operating system still curse IE on a daily basis. I hope that all those who currently talk about how wonderful IE11 is take note that M
