You have to get clever when searching CL. Plenty of places that allow cats don't click the "Cats OK" box. Instead of using that search filter, include the terms -"no cats" -"no pet…

I don't think there's much precedent, it's a complex emerging legal question: https://www.wweek.com/cannabis/2016/10/04/why-hemp-and-marij...

Or sued.

> The cornerstone of JavaScript is the function. JavaScript is specified in terms of objects, has richer facilities for dealing with objects than functions, functions are objects b…

When thinking about cultural differences, it's not sensible (let alone tactful) to jump to "absolutely twisted and unhealthy."

I'm having trouble relating to parent's comment too. Are they only shopping at airport bookstores?

You really fail to see the irony in investing in a strong padlock for a building with thin glass windows? You have defensive replies to everybody here so please don't project your …

I think it's a bit contradictory to choose an insecure OS because a more secure one doesn't support a nice-to-have piece of security hardware. That aside, I'd be interested in the …

Surely the markets took a hit today because the world's financial centers have all been duped by such propaganda. Look, even China-friendly South China Morning Post is in on the co…

IPFS is a protocol, I don't think one can ascribe 30+ second latency to language choice.

The thread makes me want to quit the industry. One person disagrees and gets "I vote for this statement to be nominated for Worst Sentiment of 2018", while the gist-er is congratul…

What's wrong with the website's editor, posting blogspam of a year-old post as current news? Should be flagged.

I think you're being somewhat defensive of what appears to be a prototype, just offering the feedback you requested. 1. What I mean is that @code becomes data-af-click . 2. Where? …

Feedback: 1. Parser prohibits literal "@click", there is no escape mechanism. 2. Only click, what about other DOM events? 3. Leaking: Event listeners not removed in destructor (you…
