I sometimes think to grok CSS you have to have a printing degree.

Oh, I didn’t notice any with an adblock. Sorry about that!

There’s no reason for Microsoft to do that. That will just alienate existing Windows users enough to try other OSes while providing no benefit whatsoever to the corporation. Even Apple, which is known for its love of walled gardens, allows executing unsigned code in MacOS. So I very much doubt we’ll get a source.

This is NOT how you use text-shadow! 🤮

Very RESTless.

The future of HTML is classless, stateless and moneyless! 🏴

That’s not the end of the world, but fragmentation of the Web certainly doesn’t benefit anyone.

That’s a good question. Safari market share isn’t as big as Chrome’s (62.55% vs 20.5%, according to statcounter), but it’s still the 2nd largest. Also note that the WEI proposal appeared around May but made the news only now.

One wouldn’t be too wrong to point at similarities between cancer and Discord in how it quickly takes over different systems (e.g. issue tracking, discussions, Q&A, documentation) and replaces them with a single non-functional thing (chat).

But, to play the devil’s advocate, Discord seems to have some kind of a forum functionality, however I’ve never encountered those Forum Channels myself.

Maybe when we allowed money (here represented by the size of the browser market share) to translate directly into political power (here represented by the ability to enforce arbitrary standards).

You can emulate double shift in VSC. It will be slightly different since it doesn’t automatically search actions and file names. So if you bind it to Quick Open as suggested by the link, you’ll have to put > to search actions and not files.

Thank you, that was an interesting read!

That’s correct. I don’t think anyone would seriously call Python that today.

You’re right! I stand corrected and thank you for sharing. There were already big JS apps (notably, Gmail in 2004) before V8 came out. Yet, am I wrong to think Node.js started the JS obsession that lasted for a while?

Well, to be fair, Matz (the Ruby creator) called Python a toy language.

Probably when V8 came out. Also Node.js.
