"being tough on Russia" is very far from "aggressively rallying for war with Russia".

"Shadow DOM" has the wrong description, I think: "Web Components is a suite of different technologies allowing you to create reusable custom elements — with their functionality enc…

I work for a small startup. The CEO and other bosses are very intransparent. There are hardly any meetings or any other communication, and that's the way it always has been - altho…

Except his autism spectrum disorder isn't going to get better.

This poll only had about 400 self-selected participants. That doesn't make for reliable numbers at all.
