I just don't understand people who make off-hand comments saying that the Queen has never worked a day in her life. I'm no monarchist but I think she's had a very demanding job. Do people think meeting ministers and diplomats, meeting the public, and attending events is all fun? Not a job I'd ever want
I have never understood why online store given an option to filter by colour, but not by a myriad of other far more useful options. This gift I'm trying to buy, I don't care whether it's aimed at a toddler or a middle aged bloke, whether it's big or small, as long as it's blue. That's all that matters; that it be BLUE.
"Life is a meeting that could've been an email"
Typical. Any discussion of banning weapons of war isn't even had because it's so futile. Instead, the proposed solution is more surveillance of our communication. Would anyone blame the postal service if these messages had gone via snail mail? Then don't turn the blame on facebook. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/25/texas-school-shooting-gunman-facebook
The new tube map is an absolute disgrace. Everything, literally everything in this country is for sale. The Santander bikes and Emirates cable car were bad enough, but to put corporate branding on the official tube map. Harry Beck is rolling in his grave today. https://tfl.gov.uk/maps/track/tube
A virtual DOM is essentially a data structure that abstracts over modifications to another data structure simply for performance reasons. It's just a way of modifying some data in memory and then committing all of those changes in a single transaction. The very fact that this is actually a reasonable solution given the tools available just goes to show how broken the tools are. The whole computational model exposed by browsers is completely out of touch with how it's being used. For example, why isn't there a language construct in JavaScript inside of which all DOM manipulation isn't propagated to the rendering engine? Instead we build a virtual system inside of a virtual machine to achieve the same, and then wonder why things are so clunky.
It could have a “talk” mode and a “command” mode so that typing “spell check my homework” into the talk mode would suggest that you could type “read homework.txt | spellcheck” into the command mode
