Do you have a source for this or are you speculating?

I feel like many here don't remember having 20 popups constantly open in the taskbar. It was maddening. Popup blockers were the first adblockers.

But it works, I just tried it.

A webapp being broken on an iPhone is proof that android sucks?

When was this? People have been moaning about Windows for over 30 years. If you just go by headlines, Windows has been getting worse and less capable with absolutely no improvement, and there are people who (probably on this site) unironically think Windows is worse now than it was in the Windows 3.1 days.

I wouldn't say that, it sees regular use even today.

Those names dont serve to degrade people. For me, as a British person, this software is basically called Retard.

I'm not sensitive enough to care but some people will find this offensive or at least make them pause before suggesting its use. Some word filters will filter this out too.

An unfortunate name, a la Nonce Finance and Git.

Why?

I'm sorry but this is a really ill informed comment, and nothing said here is actually true. You're going to need to spend some substantial time to back up what you've said.

Likely similar reasons to why women are obsessed with breast size

No? Im saying engage him on the merit of his argument and not his terrible choice of words.

I think you should just ignore the language and see what he's trying to say. I can definitely see that he's just speaking with the words he knows. 'Whores' = 'Sex Workers', and suddenly it sounds a bit nicer. We have certain standards of language that may be inaccessible to someone who is not a native speaker and does not live in a native english speaking country, it shouldn't take away from the meaning of what people who use inappropriate words are trying to say.

Also pimps don't recruit, they manage. This is human trafficking.

in the US at least. It's legal, taxable and socially acceptable in a lot of european countries.

The 'everyone writes bloated code nowadays' argument is ancient, and those C/C++ applications would have been considered bloated.

Your argument comes across as anti progress and pro 'old thing'.

These are hilarious and written in a very tongue-in-cheek manner.

Some favourite quotes:

"XMLDeveloper seeks validation"

"Hang on a minute, this is a 32-bit development environment. What will I do with all my 16-bit code?" "Having seen your code, dump it. However, with Visual C++ 2.0 and MFC, most developers can just recompile"

Would be nice if you had mentioned it was an M1 Mac Mini, I got excited for a moment.

One major issue is really drug production. MDMA produced just in brabant makes its way all across europe. MDMA is illegal in the netherlands already.

Also prostitution is legal in most of europe, its only notable in the netherlands to tourists because of the red light district in amsterdam. Keeping it legal and socially tolerated helps reduce human trafficing.

The UK has been under austerity since 2008.

Don't be obtuse, you can respond with questions.

Not really, the old way was that updating was an event and a task within itself, and your mom doesn't want to sit there waiting for updates to complete to write a letter or browse facebook. Silent, backgrounded incremental updates are the better fit for 99% of users.

Full disclosure: I use linux as my daily driver and don't have a windows installation.

Theres multiple reasons why you should not do this, but ignoring the fire risks and the risks of death to the person doing this, the current can reach the street side, and kill or injure engineers working on the power systems.

Also my experience is that only Americans say the month first. Today is the 11th of March.

I do have a question that's only tangibly related to fetch, I was wondering what Nodes stance is on the seemingly increasing gap between the NodeJS and browser implementations of the JavaScript engine.

It's still very common to see Node modules that use require(), for example, but would otherwise work flawlessly in a browser where there is no require() support (without using shims and other libraries).

That's fair, but my point was small code doesn't mean bug free, and just because you only use it in a certain way and don't see any bugs doesn't mean they're not there. In fact I'd wager there are multiple gaping issues with it, that you simply wont encounter.

If your code is as small as I'm imagining it, then it's not handling a lot of error cases, and doesn't cover any edge cases. That's where bugs lurk.

>There are no bugs in my code. There isn't enough of it to have bugs.

So I take it your code could handle a 1GB blog post safely without giving you an error about exceeding post_max_size or something similar?

That would be a bug.

Small code != bug free code.

It's just the oft touted "WordPress is insecure" meme.

It undermines your point on a technicality, there are more than enough qualified lorry drivers in the UK (by the numbers), they just cannot survive on the wages being offered.

Other than that I think we are in agreement.
