The way it's written now (The most powerful mobile electromagnetic railgun built by a non-government) seems pretty non-ambiguous in implying that more powerful mobile railguns have been built by governments.

Here's a link to the video that this article pretty much summarized [0]

If you take a look at the source[0], you'll notice they roll their own viewport renderer, presumably as a way for them to do their "tracking pixels". I imagine this might be what causes the difference in behavior? If anyone more knowledgeable could jump in, that would be cool.

Personally, I've always read '=' as meaning the left hand side was equal to the right. So if I see

x = 5

then I'm already assigning the value of 5 to x, because they're equal! Does that make sense? Curious to see what others think, because before reading this article, I didn't even realize that was a particular tripping point for anyone looking to start programming.

This is very true, though I was mostly commenting on the "Modern copy to clipboard" description.

And for the truly adventurous, there's the html5 clipboard api.

In case someone tried to click the link to the paper "4chan and /b/: An Analysis of Anonymity and Ephemerality in a Large Online Community", here is an actual clickable link to save you some time trying to reconstruct it

Nitpicking on tiny details is probably an accepted way of advancing UI affordances. Pointless it may be, but perhaps the author just needed to vent? And really, it's this attention to tiny tiny details that can sometimes make or break a design.

That was an enjoyable read. As mentioned in the article, here's the link to the same talk he gave at Facebook's @scale [0], though the sound gets ridiculously out of sync after a bit.

Excellent writeup! I'm amazed people signed up to play their test game. Does anyone know if the points you get translate to any sort of other reward, or is a place on the leaderboard more than enough of an incentive to keep playing?

Personally though, I think the linked article about on-the-fly resizing[0] was a more interesting "technical" read.

Last Week Tonight did a pretty good special on this topic as well

Can someone give a simple explanation on the difference between incorporating normally, incorporating as a non-profit, and incorporating as a "public benefit corporation"? I've tried to look it up but I'm getting conflicting information.

Though I do agree with the general sentiment of your comment, I should point out that the maintainers of this project do address this issue in their FAQ[0].

Perhaps they have a few million images to go through.

For something titled as Revealed, the article's content was surprisingly low on actual insights and strategies. Does anyone have any suggestions for further reading on the topic?

If you hold the circle that's "in the way", it'll allow you to scrub through the video.

A quick look through wordpress' offerings shows some nice plans for hosting that shouldn't be too expensive [0]

It's called Dreamweaver.

The point of using frameworks is that time IS an issue, and you'd rather not waste it by reinventing the wheel every time.

Just a heads up littlewing, your comment is marked as dead. I went through your profile and it doesn't look like any of your comments were particularly offbase enough to warrant the shadowban so I'm not sure what's going on.

I've always thought the the web UI was meant for trivial things. For everything else, there's always the Command Line Interface.

If you check the network tab when you visit twitter you'll notice that the payload for the core twitter assets aren't that big, so you can scratch that idea off.

So... what exactly are you trying to say here

I agree with most of what the other comments have mentioned, but I'd also add that one of the most important things I look for when I'm going through job listings is if the product/project they're working on is something I'm actually interested in.

If it ever gets to a point where the revenue lost via adblockers gets significant then you'll probably start seeing sites only serving content via distribution channels they can control completely (eg paywalls, apps, desktop clients). In fact, you can see people starting to experiment with this type of distribution model.

You'll find it's because for the most part, the amount of people browsing websites with an ad blocker is still significantly lower than those who don't, so companies just let it slide. Though of course it's growing every year so maybe in the near future your scenario might happen.

I believe you can unflag?
