Because <table> indicates that it contains tabular data, and implies lots of things about the content that it contains that would be misleading when using table-based layout.

And display: table, which uses CSS to make things look the same, without implying anything about the content, wasn't supported by Microsoft, back when they they were a) the only browser that mattered, and b) trying to hold back the web to protect their monopolies, so people worked around their damage by using the tools that happened to already be available in IE (see also the invention of AJAX)

Once Microsoft caught up, people who understand CSS started using display: table whenever it helped. People who didn't kept complaining that you couldn't just use <table>.
Honestly I had hoped Angular 2 (with iminent release of 4) would be the holy grail. It took soo long to come out, I dabbled in React and have not looked back. However I'm under no illusions that "this is it". Vue is definitely one I want to explore.
>An E.O. that conflicts with statute or the Constitution is not law, in fact, it a violation of the law.

And that is not the case, here. The Executive Order in question is firmly grounded in section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Get your facts straight.
I don't think fake news is a useful term, it never has been. The media has been flooded with both outright fake news and more importantly missing news for years, when it was supporting the Democrat world view.

For instance, just go look at how often you can read the Russia "invaded" Ukraine or Russia "invaded" Crimea. The Russian army is huge and what's left of the Ukrainian army is made of fresh conscripts. If those events had actually happened then the Russian flag would have been waving over buildings in Kiev within 24 hours, there would have been videos of it all over the world. You can't hide an invasion of an entire country, that's not what the word means. Yet these conquered cities are mysteriously missing.

What actually happened is a civil war in Ukraine with two opposing sides from the same country who hate each other, one side trying to break away by force. The west supports west Ukraine with materials and training, Russia probably supports east Ukraine/Donbass in a similar way, although the west admitted they were doing it and Russia never did. But let's put that to one side and assume both were at it. That's not an invasion, that is at most a proxy war.

And what happened in Crimea was even simpler, they had a vote and voted to join Russia just like they did twice in the 1990's (but were ignored). Western/Ukrainian polling and journalists have visited since and didn't find any evidence that the vote was not representative of what people there actually think.

Yet fake news stories that talk of invasion, literally fake as in "reporting on things that never happened", goes largely unremarked, especially by the kinds of people who hate Trump. They usually aren't even aware how thoroughly they've been fooled.

If you want an example of how people are manipulated through missing news rather than fake news, the recent Greenwald article on a SEAL Team raid in Yemen and how CNN reported it is a good one.

So "fake news" is the kind of thing that both sides can levy at the other, with some justification, but trying to claim one side or another is smarter than the rest is not going to work. People will just tune it out, exactly as you report.
Yes, please. Putting 'styles' in charge of layout was always madness.

Every time I hit the wrong link because the browser engine finally figured out it should move things around one more time just that millisecond, my soul gets blackened by the wish to strangle someone.
But if the shell script is trivial, why not just give the binary its runtime constraints via arguments or environment variables?

IMHO configuration management overlaps with dependency hell, or could be seen as a dependency. You do not have to bake the dependency into the binary, but just have to setup the runtime environment.

Quip is a great product. I don't use it these days. I like everything about Quip except it's unconventional formatting shortcuts. I have tried various markdown based tools both mobile and web and finally I found Paper is appealing and strikes a balance between visual appeal, share and collaboration. Paper also syncs very small chunks of text (sentence level?) and it reduce conflicts a lot. Though I have used multiple tools for collaboration, the current version of Paper and Google Docs tops the list with my team.
Of course, it's a little unfair to declare it failed. The exit definitely was impressive. However, the product still died. It's hard to tell without the real business metrics whether this was due to lack of sustainable revenue and growth or just missing alignment with FB's overall strategy.

From a standpoint of traction it was no failure. A lot of developers liked it for a good reason. However, the pricing model and the lack of performance guarantees lead Parse to being used for prototype stuff in the free-tier mainly. I think, if they had a little more trust in the capabilities of developers to know what they are doing, the service might still be alive.

If LV2 plugins are anything like VSTs, you'll need to load the plugin in your audio application and route your MIDI input through that plugin. In most DAWs this is done by creating a track then assigning MIDI input and the VSTi to the track.

WW2: Heidegger is the premier, German philosopher. And he's a Nazi. So the question is: what does it mean for the projector of philosophy that the leading light is also a fascist? Enter Satre who "rejects" Heigger but "keeps" with Hegel.

Being and Nothingness, as far as I understand, was a response in part to Heidegger's Being and Time.

My philosophy may be rusty, but to answer the question you asked, I think history is the reason why others held him in regard.
Yeah, except that we have literally a century of experience building all of above, but only decade or so of building huge automotive lithium batteries. It's "just" a battery, but at the same time it's hideously complex device where a lot of things can go wrong.

Edit: Well, I slightly disagree. Even if the product doesn't require mass-adoption to be useful, it could surely benefit from branding/marketing and viral adoption to make it the desired product, in which case, it does still depend on who does all of that better. Even if Starbucks or Macbooks are more expensive, they have won their audience and increased their effective marketing force.
Would there be a benefit to changing from <table> to something else, if <table> works just fine for the purpose?

I'm not endorsing the tactic of joining Trump's advisory board. IMHO people who speak truth to power are talking to the wrong people. I'm just observing why people are responding better to Lyft's messaging than Uber despite Lyft also operating during and after the strike.

I will however point out that if you're boycotting Uber over joining the advisory board then you should do the same for all the others, including Elon Musk's companies. Maybe you should even boycott Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon and all the others that took a meeting with him, since they are also taking a diplomatic route.

Oh, and this is fun: Trump advisors Peter Thiel and Carl Icahn are part-owners of Lyft.
Yeah, thus far he's only blamed them (and Mexicans) for all of the country's problems. Totally different.

This is excellent. And with the fast pace of browsers, and the improved habits of users (or automatic updates), it should be available for 95%+ of users within a year (It's in the current Safari Technology Preview, so Safari should get it with the next macOS point update).

This is also a good moment to remind people that you don't need Bootstrap and the like as much as you used to. Grids were 90% or the reason people started using these frameworks, and CSS (already with flexbox I'd argue, but definitely with grids) has caught up and is now easier to use and more flexible than any framework was.

It's also time to reconsider the atrocity that is class="col_xs_12". I've never undestood why people would lynch anyone using style="..." but happily littered their code with those grid classes. With the invention of sass at the latest, actual semantic class names should have once again become the only acceptable best practice. With html5, there's also a range of semantic tags[0], and using them improves both code readability, as well as allowing all sorts of new ideas in clients (not just browsers, but also text-to-speech and other accessabiity tools, or spiders, or brosers on new device classes)

Considering that the Nuremberg Trials were a clear-cut case of 'victor's justice', this holds no water with me.
Those orders would not hold an legal water. Any court that saw them would throw them out on precedent.

As an equivalent example of this, if the court rules a particular law unconstitutional and congress passes the same law under a different name, that law would be utterly powerless as well. In general, Changing the name of something doesn't change its legality.

I don't understand the #DeleteUber trend. Companies only care about profits. There is no news here.

I bet Lyft orchestrated the whole thing... Even if they didn't, they've got their marketing department all hyped up taking advantage of this Uber drama right now (so they are effectively taking advantage of protests too).

Then they have the nerve to present themselves as morally superior.
What hypocritical pieces of shit they are. It's painful to live in a world where the majority of people are too damn stupid to see this.

In that case, no injunction would be necessary. The orders would be utterly powerless if they relied upon bits that the court previously found unconstitutional.

The problem is so hard because it's not decomposed in a right way. It would be much simpler if there were 1) a pure drawing language like PostScript, very well researched and developed, 2) content, described purely in its own terms, and 3) a way to transform that content so it can be rendered by (1) on screen. This was the idea behind XML+XSLT, as far as I perceive it. CSS is kind of similar to XSLT in its pattern matching capabilities, but is both more complicated and way less powerful.

To compare things: Knuth's TeX has very few basic primitives: boxes, lists, and glue. And it produces very sophisticated layouts. CSS has a wagon of stuff and still cannot produce very basic things. I sometimes remember the old Ventura Publisher software (in 1990 I worked with version 3 of it). It was somewhat similar to the current HTML+CSS: you could have the same source text, but separate style files that would render it very differently for different purposes. 27 years ago.
Could you drop the `?m=1` from the URL? Mobile works just fine without it but opening it on a larger screen is a bit messed up.

>Well, yes, that's how a general strike works.

You mean how it doesn't work. Cartels eventually fall apart when there's no way of enforcing the rules (no way to force someone to strike) because the incentives to cheat (drive during strike) are high.
The takeaway for me: US law enforcement can compel you to provide a fingerprint to unlock your phone, but cannot compel you to provide a password.

In particular, a recent precedent-setting court case in Minnesota has decided that fingerprints used for access control can be taken from a suspect without violating his fifth amendment rights. The logic of the decision [...] is that fingerprints are tantamount to similar evidence that is taken from suspects in the course of an investigation such as blood samples, handwriting samples, voice recordings, etc., all of which have been deemed by the Supreme Court to not be protected under the Fifth Amendment.

EU law requires certain protections for data classed as "personal data" and "sensitive personal data". It especially requires that "Personal data shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data".

There was an agreement, "safe harbour", with the US, but Trump has issued an EO that contradicts it: https://www.lawfareblog.com/us-eu-privacy-shield-maybe-yes-m...

If that agreement is terminated, then it's no longer legal to transfer personal data from the EU to the US. This affects rather a lot of companies.

Some of the things Trump has said are scarily effective. The Mexico wall being a great example.

He turned the debate to who will pay for the wall. The argument about whether there should be a wall or not became a mute point. The slight of hand is impressive.

He plays the part of an idiot, but he is anything but.
So if they tell you you are too old in your early 30s/40s/50s/etc. their hiring policy is fucked up in the first place, so do not worry about that, as you do not want to work for such a company anyway.

My advice is to think about the $domain (news, social-media, medical devices, bioinformatics, vision, gaming, earth-observation, automobile, chemistry, education, ...) you would like to work in and the $activity (software development, software testing, marketing, sales, support, devops, technical documentation, talking-with-humans, teaching, ...) you would like to spend most of your work time onto.

If you have clear answers to these questions it might be simpler to find potential work employees and companies and you can also make a more specialized cold-email application.
Honestly I don't think you'd see a partisan ruling on this. There is an originalist argument that Congress has no power to regulate immigration and that it is the sole duty of the executive, but there are myriad ways the justices could get around that if they so desired. I'm no expert on the court, but I would imagine it would break 6-2 or better against the EO.

I haven't been able to find any easily available archive of the use of this (I wonder if a FOIA request could get that?), but did find some isolated references to a few examples of dissent memos.

Last year there was one with 51 signers objecting to President Obama's hands off policy in Syria, saying that it was overwhelmed by the violence there, and there was one early in the Clinton years with about a dozen signers asking for stronger action against the Serbs. A bunch more appeared to be from individual officers, often at an embassy, objecting to something about the way we were dealing with the country they were serving in.

One article I read implied that there are maybe half a dozen of these a year. The BBC says that they are "not that unusual", but did say that the one disagreeing with Trump's immigration EO was "unprecedented" because it was signed by hundreds of people.
While that would probably work fine for display and layout, but it doesn't work so well with the semantic document model that the web is built on. For example accessibility would suffer greatly unless every "jquery" (using your analogy) out there were to implement its own accessibility. (That's not to say things are absolutely peachy wrt. accessibility these days, but they'd get a lot worse if everybody had to implement their own.)
I appreciate your response. You're 100% correct.

I was (and truthfully still am) a little bitter over the whole experience (watching Silicon Valley for the first time was sort of a cathartic experience). So many people seemed interested at first, but it was so hard to get real feedback. Out of about 10 or so meetings, only one VC (depressingly it was the very first one we met with) listened intently and asked good questions. He gave great feedback but didn't want to pursue it because his tech consultants didn't think WebRTC was mature enough to work as we described. Every other time it was "Can you just go over the deck you sent 2 weeks ago? (which we did as they looked at their phones the entire time)" or "Great, but can you make this more enterprise-y by adding SLAs? (yes, their tech person asked if we could add enterprise SLAs to p2p video streaming)".

None of us were people with a wealthy or well-connected family, a degree from an elite school or even from a state with much of a culture for entrepeneurship or technology. So setting up meetings, building a deck and pitching it, the whole thing felt so extremely foreign. What I would have given for someone who we could trust or respect to give real feedback.

Nice thing about software though, as long as you have income to support yourself and are adequately skilled at your craft, you can just build it yourself. Which fortunately is the case here.

" pre-sales, architecture design and lead the onshore/offshore teams to deliver client projects"

Usually senior technical people who can do pre-sales and lead projects as a "safe pair of hands" are in demand. Smaller companies are usually always recruiting people for those roles - I suspect you are getting filtered by clueless HR people for not having the the right buzzwords.

Have you thought about maybe paying for some training courses - the content of the courses might be dubious but it might get you the right branding?
No, a sentence by a judge or jury is running the program in the wild. A unit test would be a hypothetical scenario that documents the intent of the lawmaker.

If you're rich, you probably benefited from free trade and mass immigration. Trump's base are the people who suffered the most from these trends.
People "love to live in SF" because it's currently trendy to live in S.F., especially if you're a newcomer.

You generally don't find many people living outside those 17 square miles pining to move there. Its unique amenities (real and perceived) are easy enough to drive or Caltrain or BART to.

Then again, I'm perplexed that tech companies feel so driven to base so many of their employees in the Bay Area at all. They could save 20%+ on compensation to employees combined with providing them a better standard of living (and more family-friendly as well) by opening workplace options in Beaverton, Bothell, Boulder or Boise.

Plus, those employees would be a bit less immediately accessible for an SV competitor to dangle something shiny in front of.
> US law enforcement can compel you to provide a fingerprint to unlock your phone, but cannot compel you to provide a password.

This may be true for normal law enforcement, but if you're at (or perhaps near) the border, the rules are different.
