In Europe "no 737 MAX" basically means "no Ryanair". Depending on how you feel about Ryanair, avoiding the 737 MAX can be very easy.

In other places, like the US, they may not be practical to avoid.

No, KeepassXC has an option to merge databases, it never caused me any trouble. I have a similar setup to parent commenter.

Reminded me of: https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/css_calc/

I don't think that's true. Some years ago I did a free trial with them (did not pay anything). More recently I decided to actually sign up (for a paid account) and the email address I used for the free trial years ago was not available. I eventually got that username only after contacting support and giving them the date on which I started that free trial, to prove it was me.

This very article states:

> This long-standing quest, known as chrysopoeia, may have been motivated by the observation that dull grey, relatively abundant lead is of a similar density to gold, which has long been coveted for its beautiful colour and rarity.

Their own Gmail client. I have yet to see one that works with normal email.

You're right, but the author's approach still works by accident, because ClearType is disabled when drawing text to canvas. I am not sure why that's the case, but I would guess it's because the subpixel colors can only be computed correctly when the background color is known (and static), and with a canvas, the background can be drawn later or animated. ClearType is only enabled for normal text on the page, and many CSS properties incidentally disable it presumably for similar reasons (e.g. 'will-change: opacity;').

You can keep your commands simple enough so that they can be executed by both `sh` and `cmd.exe`. If you need anything more complex than invoking other programs, `&&`, `|` and `>`, it's time to rewrite your build script in a real programming language anyway.

If you read the linked article, it explains that this is exactly what they do.

It seemed to me that the previous poster wanted a way to wait for the result of a promise (in a blocking manner), and I meant that this is available in other languages. You're right that it is not usually spelled "await".

You can await in a normal function in better languages, just not in JavaScript.

Probably. I've encountered a case where setting `contain` for unrelated reasons noticeably decreased the GPU memory use as reported by the browser: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373066#10096943 (search for "As a bonus"). Wikipedia is pretty light, so in absolute terms it wasn't really meaningful, but I could see that on a more complex site.

XSLT would be a classic answer, but it's a bit of a lost ancient technology these days. I've only used it in the browser for a lark, but I suppose you'd find mature (old) libraries for working with it easily enough.

PHPTAL is another system I've heard of (but never used) that seems to be built on this idea. It is also very mature (old). https://phptal.org/

In general working with DOM doesn't seem to be very cool these days. Everyone uses template systems that are glorified string concatenators, like Mustache, and doesn't care about security issues due to bad escaping.

I mean… yes? I don't see what's so confusing. In an office building, if anything goes wrong, an alarm goes off and everyone leaves, and insurance pays for damages. In a residential building, you have people sleeping, sick, possessions they might not be willing to leave behind, babies, pets… It makes sense for the safety requirements to be different.

It's used to render sheets and audio in Wikipedia articles (I hope this answers several of your questions). Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty#Lyrics_and_melod...

It is more pleasant to the eye if you remove the spaces:

    <infile some_cmd >outfile

Just like you wouldn't add spaces in the middle of '2>&1' when redirecting stderr to stdout:

    <infile some_cmd >outfile 2>&1

You can read about some things they did, and didn't! https://samy.pl/myspace/tech.html

It used to be that the only programs capable of somewhat correctly parsing HTML were web browsers, each one of them produced different results, most weren't open-source, and none were reusable as libraries. If you wanted to parse HTML in... looks up what MySpace was written in... ColdFusion, you were all out of luck. Since then people spent years developing specifications and writing the libraries, so now it's not a big deal.

In addition to the examples already given, JavaScript as well (although modern implementations do wacky stuff with the internal representations, the APIs are required to expose only UTF-16).

The built-in "robocopy" tool (normally used for making backups / mirrors) is capable of deleting any messed up directories like that, by mirroring an empty directory over it.

Apparently, each coordinate is an array of 3 rational values representing the degrees, minutes and seconds, where the numerator and denominator are 32-bit unsigned integers (plus a separate field to represent the sign). That's a lot of precision.

npm and gem behave like this, although I don't know if they use this exact method to figure out the abbreviations.

git has something similar, although it's disabled by default (help.autocorrect option).

Some of it has to do with changes to browsers’ acceptance of cookies. If you need to set cookies on multiple domains you control (common for SSO), you used to be able to do it by loading a pixel image or tiny script from each domain. Now, however, that’s considered a third-party cookie, and rejected by many browsers. The only reliable way now is to redirect the whole page, and then redirect back.

That’s the word for “gasoline” in Italian and a number of other languages. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline#/languages

No, jQuery falls back to Sizzle when a selector is not supported by native querySelector, either due to using jQuery-specific extensions, or due to lacking browser support.
