Some of these things are actually pretty cool IMO, like http://keithclark.co.uk/articles/pure-css-parallax-websites/... from https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Javascript#Pa...

But the alternative seems to be browser exposing APIs for all those permissions through Javascript and the end-user not really having any control over that. Perhaps I'm just naive about it, since I really don't do Javascript-based development, but this seems to be a worse idea than apps.

Super-late to this, but I always find https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdX4uJUwSFwiY3XBvu-F_-Q to be interesting. Not sure if this is exactly relevant to the question, but I feel like I learn from it anyway.

> Homepage says supports up to 62000blocks per dimension, which, conrary to their claim, is quite small.

Indeed. Minecraft only gets ~256 in the Y-direction, but allows you to go ~30,000,000 in the X/Z-directions.

    32. People’s names are assigned at birth.
    33. OK, maybe not at birth, but at least pretty close to birth.
    34. Alright, alright, within a year or so of birth.
    35. Five years?
    36. You’re kidding me, right?

I must know what case there is of this, and who exactly was the poor soul to stumble upon it...

>The entire security of the Tor Browser ecosystem relies on the integrity of a single TLS certificate that has already been previously compromised.

Seriously? That seems like a really weird - to say the least - decision to make about something this important...

Why does "white"/"male" matter? I understand that this is potentially a very contentious question, but I genuinely don't understand why those are listed in the title, or why "white" was the first in a list of insulting words used at the end of the article.

You know there'll be that one person who complains about it not supporting something nested like 20 pointers deep...

Hah! Plain white bread is clearly where it's at!

Just the bread. Grey is a more automatic way to spell it than gray, for me.

As one who is neither "Grey" nor "Bread," you may wish to check your spelling :)

But yes, it's kind of sad that this is the way things are now :(

It's pretty well-known around here, but I still find it amazing to think about every time that I see it come up.

Well but then that mangles the symbol names, which would make programming a pain.

It is generally used that way. But it's also sometimes used in the gender-specific manner, and so some people will take offense over it.

That isn't at all what I said. I specifically stated that I've seen other people say that, not that I myself think that. Of course different ideas are good; if we didn't have them, we'd be stuck in the stone age still. However, if the JS community does indeed have lower entry standards than normal, it stands to reason that such a conclusion can be reached pretty easily.

Well lately, everything seems to be focused on JS, no? There's node.js, react, angular, $JAVASCRIPT_FRAMEWORK_OF_THE_DAY, ... So if JS is most of what you hear about, and if the community does actually have low entry standards, it seems logical that it'd be the community that would attract the most issues.
