    That's only a hard requirement if you're creating a web component. Unknown elements are treated as inline elements by default, so if you're just using it for styling and using glob…

    What in the world is the non-"Dumpster" word for a dumpster?

    I'm a vegetarian on principle, and have no problem eating GMO anything. OTOH, I've been vegetarian for 15 years and most meat flavors and textures have worn on me.

    Amusingly, I'm in the reverse situation: loving working in Haskell and reeally want to try Rust but I just don't have the time. For what it's worth, Haskell can be compiled to code…

    Apple's T&Cs are so long because they usually show you like 6 different documents, most of which aren't even in regard to iTunes. (Google does this too.)

    It depends on how you've packaged your application. Technically, yes, the user needs NW.js to run your application, but you can ship with NW.js if you like (it's just one fat execu…

    I don't know, I always found the perl and zsh man pages to be rather pleasant. They were sprawling, sure, but having long ago given up on brevity, they have no fear of meticulously…

    Between Bob's army and insipid comments rising to the top, the comments sections of a lot of interesting, community oriented channels became useless (more so, even, than before). I…

    I don't know about the rest of G+, but since the integration, I've been unable to comment on YouTube videos with my G+ account, something that worked fine before. I'd certainly cal…

    Google Translate actually doesn't do a terrible job on the article text (it's not perfect, but it's understandable). It does kind of mess-up the English in the email though.

    To be fair, if camus hasn't heard of Edge it isn't his fault - it's Adobe's. Which, in a way, helps to emphasize his point.

    I've wondered for a while if the price for television advertising was/is inflated due to the fact that there's no way to track its impact. Web advertisements usually pay per click …

    Having gone to RIT in New York, which contains the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, that seems a dubious claim. I lived with and went to school with a lot of deaf people,…

    Without threading support though, you aren't really encouraging discussion; just a bunch of one-off comments on the original material. And even then, you end up with ad-hoc threadi…

    Man, I hate incremental and hlsearch :) I'd agree with you on hidden but... the Vim defaults are (generally) the most vi-like settings, which makes some amount of sense. At the ver…

    Historically, in the United States anyway, unions were less about making it harder to fire people (per se), and more about forcing employers to think about things like safety, reas…

    I don't think you'd easily win the argument, unless the parties involved generally didn't sign non-disparagement agreements. I was once laid off from a company that gave me a small…

    My 5 year old had a much easier time understanding that Netflix needs to buffer or downgrade sometimes than why there are advertisements on television. I think that's because Netfl…

    I'll second the bang syntax. As the your browser's search provider, it's like having dozens of context-specific search engines built in.

    The problem with that question, to me, is that the 10% difference in outcome is nearly inconsequential. By the time I'm losing (or gaining) $900, what's another $100? If the propor…

    Usually when people say "the heap" (especially in the context of garbage collection) they mean the memory where new (non-stack) data/objects are allocated from. Usually this is the…
