JavaScript started out as a cut down Smalltalk clone because the dev thought that Smalltalk was cool. Then they bolted a curly braces syntax onto it and called it JavaScript for marketing reasons.
The big alternative was Microsoft's VBScript, based on Visual Basic and not available on any browser other than Internet Explorer.
We're arguably better off with JS in the browser. Of course server-side JS is a spectacularly bad idea.
Whoever says that women's clothes are necessarily less comfortable than men's had never worn a loose skirt on a hot summer day.
Formal clothes, sure, but men's formal clothes also suck donkey balls in terms of comfort.
One important thing about having choice is that you don't necessarily have to exercise it. It's perfectly cool for a woman to say that she doesn't give a shit about fashion and to wear an identical combination of monocolored T-shirt and jeans every single day.
Sure, she'd be unfashionable but it's only in certain circles that being fashionable counts for anything. (And, quite frankly, in those circles you'd be looked at with derision as well because you wear the incorrect cut of jeans for this year. Men's fashion is super constrained but does exist.)
Steam tends to have massive issues with permissions for games on NTFS partitions. You might've run into that.
Yes, but by threatening Denmark, Trump can make it so that the USA no longer get to have military bases on Greenland while also driving the narrative that more guns are needed, which no doubt makes some of his buddies very happy.
His behavior makes a lot more sense if you don't assume he has his country's best interests in mind.
Even ignoring the police officers, aren't there clear rules for what to do when traffic lights are turned off?
In Germany, an inactive traffic light means that traffic control reverts to any present traffic signs (stop/yield/priority road). If none are present, the default rules for entering an intersection apply (which in Germany are to yield to any traffic coming from your right).
All of those rules already must be implemented for autonomous driving so why the hell couldn't they implement a hierarchy?
Good point. I never think of those because we use bulky reusable plastic crates where I live.
I think that LSD takes away your ability to ignore things. That applies to things around you, hence the feeling of enhanced perception – your brain no longer filters out all the things cracks in the sidewalk that you normally ignore. This is independent from the hallucinations, of course.
But it also applies to all those thoughts you've been ignoring. Hence the life-changing insights people report having; in your case I think you were subconsciously aware that you should quit drugs but didn't want to confront that thought. LSD made you confront it.
(By the way, that's also why I think people with unresolved trauma should be very careful around LSD. Being forced to deal with your repressed shit all at once can go very badly depending on what you're repressing.)
I know you mean like a six-pack of beer cans but for a moment I had the mental image of beer sold in tetra-paks and I really don't want to know what kind of unholy concoction would warrant that kind of packaging.
At the time people welcomed it; Trident really was terrible. However, since then Gecko's marketshare has fallen into the single digits on account of Mozilla's terrible governance. WebKit isn't exactly a big alternative, either (and is often regarded as the new Trident in terms of web standard adherence). Opera used to have Presto but nope, that's also Chromium now.
That means we're now stuck in a situation where an advertising company controls how the web works for 75% of all users. And they're happily abusing that power.
I'm rooting for Servo and Ladybird as new entrants into the market but both are small projects trying to challenge a multi-billion dollar industry titan who wants the web to be as complex as possible so that only they and their token competitors can exist.
We might actually have been better off with Microsoft trying to keep Trident relevant.
I mean, it's not like it hasn't been implemented in games before. It's literally one of the main features of the Left 4 Dead series.
Just like VR and the Steel Battalion controller, it has its place – just not in every single game ever.
It typically doesn't. Most countries don't care about where your ancestors came from. Being fluent in the local language and culture will generally give you a leg up if you already qualify for immigration so I hope your family kept those alive (and not Americanized versions like Irish-Americans wearing green on St. Patrick's Day). But your ancestry is usually completely irrelevant.
Those genetic test results absolutely don't mean anything. If you're culturally American with an American passport, you're American and that's it.
