    It isn't at all clear that (1) is true. Until recently, no-one was particularly concerned about companies which link advertisers and purchasers. Unless you say the hypothetical ben…

    I think most people can see that there's a huge gulf between "everything is lawful" and "the government regulates ideas and risks doing so in their favor". Most people accept that …

    Cloudfare didn't cut off service to a home, so you haven't provided relevant information.

    I have a hope of remembering about:performance. I can bookmark it, and it's there in autocomplete. You can make a link to it in your webpage or in a nice plugin (which, once it get…

    I thought the point of code is to make it more difficult for the non-initiate to read it... Actually, I think a good, justly polymorphic function should probably have a word of a r…

    I'm not sure I agree with your thesis. For instance, Javascript has recently added an OOP class syntax, and Typescript extends the result with strict types. (JS was of course in so…
