It will for a bit. The people who build UI frameworks in wasm will either make it a priority or they'll add it later. It sucks but this is the way we're heading. I'm not sure web devs will even be writing HTML in 5 years beyo

If measles is more common now that anti-vax is more popular, that's a problem worth addressing. We had a known, working solution, so yeah, it does seem like child abuse.

Yes. That is one of the correct ways to frame this problem.

Just occurred to me, as "heat waves" become the norm for longer periods of time, I'm sure there will be people arguing for the cost-savings of not having to cool the school buildings during the summer.

Out of curiosity, what neighborhood/borough do you live in? Is it a middle class area?

by orbitur 8y ago
I don't know about your neighborhood, but in ours, there are no sidewalks and a bunch of teens drive as fast as they possibly can.

Yeah. I've always been obsessed with music, and what I miss about Best Buy circa 1998 is walking into a sea of CDs with $20 and likely leaving with 2 new CDs. I never understood how the mall music stores worked, like Tower Records or S

The docs say 10.11 for most of the APIs. A few are still (and forever?) iOS only.

One thing that bugs me about this article is that the author chose the largest and most expensive SUVs, not the ones that are actually popular. The smaller and more popular RAV4, Rogue, CR-V, Escape, etc aren't mentioned here. Comparat

Well, now it’s IntelliJ’s responsibility to add TouchBar support or remap those keys. Nonetheless you can just turn the F keys back on.

The southeast US, the region where I grew up, just makes me sad, especially now that I'm living in the northeast. Looks like some places like Nashville and Atlanta actually had density, but it was wiped out in favor of highways. On

Maybe this is just Soviet Canada silliness, but when our daughter was tiny we were literally checking out 20 books (small, could be read in 15-20 minutes) once a week, and there didn't seem to be any limit at all, that we ran into at l

They’re not suffering much though. All these comparisons to USB and monochrome are ridiculous.

The UX gains from mono -> color vastly outshine slightly smoother fonts on older external monitors.

You’re taking about intent, we’re talking about the very real consequences of inaction. The difference between apathy and neutrality is irrelevant.

At least in North America, torrenting is no longer mainstream. Netflix is too easy. Adults that were previously torrenters barely use a machine that offers a torrent client anymore, it's mostly iPads and phones for casual use.
