Considering that it isn't the default and it is only available on Windows 10 (and that only since 2015) i think that it is very safe to say that for all intents and purposes "anything compiled with MinGW links against MSVCRT.DLL" is valid and will be for a long time.

Though even if MinGW switched to UCRT tomorrow, it would still leave a ton of executables since 1998 (or whenever it started using it) relying on MSVCRT.DLL (which AFAIK is included by default in Windows since Windows 98 so it has a slightly wider support range than UCRT :-P).
> It is really only e.g. dragging/swiping that works very differently between touch and mouse interfaces. And of course mice come with extra buttons and scroll controls that make up for that.

It's this that I think will be the problem. Normal buttons and textfields will probably be usable on both control systems. But if you want to leverage the advantage of one of the systems you loose out on the other. So you either have to develop your UI twice or leave on of the two with a lesser experience.

If Apple should go through with this I hope they will set strict requirements in the store guidelines that ensures lazy app makers provide a proper experience for both kinds of controls.
If I don't like someone's speech that doesn't mean they are not allowed to say it. It means I can go elsewhere or ignore it. If you don't like someone's perfume your right isn't that they stop wearing it, it's that you go elsewhere and ignore it. If you don't like smoke... it's the same thing. You have every right to not want it. In which case it is incumbent on you to do something about it.

Unless you are making a health related argument. That is a different right other than you don't want it, that is a health concern, which is why smoking inside is predominately not allowed.

I'm all for personal rights... but they come with personal responsibilities that are upon you.

Same here. My strongest sense memories of my dad are the feel of his shirt against my cheek when I'd run up to hug him when he got home from work, the feel of the callouses on his fingers, and the stubble on his cheek under my hand.

One thing to remember is that sometimes it's correct to realy trust your kids even in contradiction to your best assessment of the situation. The hand-licking story is about tactics for diagnosis, but another angle is that (sometimes) it's OK to not understand something, to think your kid is wrong, but to let them have their way anyway. Missing a plane vs dirty hands? Trust the kid, find another solution (grab a towel, wipe hands on pants, take the germ risk, etc), and talk about it later as best you can.

You don't want to let your kid be the boss of everything; you don't want to let your kid ignore your intructions or choose to do something fun instead of necessary work, but if your kid would rather stand there and do nothing while getting upset instead of doing some small work item, they aren't "cheating" you out of anything by getting their way.

The part "Case-insensitive comparison requires case folding" says there is an algo for that, but it's up to the language to implement it.

E.G: in Python 3, it's recommend to use str.casefold() instead of str.lower() for this:

>>> "Straße".upper().lower()
'strasse'
>>> "Straße".lower()
'straße'
>>> "Straße".casefold()
'strasse'
>>>

Depending of the context, a little str.strip() and/or a str.split() + str.join() may also help. User usually don't want to consider blanks when entering data (e.g: an address), while it's important for machines (e.g: a password).

Now like @lmm said, this only normalize the codepoints. Meaning is of course, impossible to be sure that way.
There are two algorithms for choosing a vacation destination:

1. sort vacation destinations based on actually wanting to go there, and then filter based on ability-to-go;

2. sort vacation destinations based on ability-to-go, and then pick the top one.

AFAIK, there’s no correlation between wealth/class and which algorithm people use. Rich people are sometimes rich because they’re thrifty, and so are no less likely to employ algorithm #2; poor people are sometimes poor because they tend to splurge on the things they want whenever they come into money, and so are no less likely to employ algorithm #1.

My point is rather that people who employ algorithm #2—regardless of who they are—tend to not actually care about the place they’re going to (since they never had it in mind to go there at all, never did any research or looked forward to visiting, etc.); and that, by making tourism as cheap as possible, Iceland is encouraging people who employ algorithm #2 to visit, without really increasing the number of people who visit due to employing algorithm #1 (who, presumably, are the ones they’d actually like to have as tourists.)

The reason browsers use the document as a building block is to provide a consistent and accessible UI to everyone using your site. This is the exact same thing that Windows, Apple, Android, etc do with their UI frameworks that they recommend you use. It also provides the ability for websites to safely degrade on older browsers because unknown elements can still be rendered in the correct hierarchy.

Now in both cases, you can just make your app a fullscreen canvas or opengl/metal viewport or whatever and manually render everything to that while manually handling user input, but you lose interactivity, accessibility, extensibility, etc.

Fair. My understanding is that in each generation HALF of the males have their genes exterminated. In "12 Rules for Life", Jordan Peterson says that human female choosiness is the reason why humans evolved faster than chimpanzees, so I guess this is for the best.

I suspect this is why rates of male suicide are so much higher than female suicide. Why bother to live if you are genetically unfit?

Women know this. I suspect this is why the rates of postpartum depression in women is nearly twice as high when the baby is a boy. They know there is a high probability that their baby is destined for a life of suffering.

A rested, focused, well-trained human is almost bug-free. No one is rested, focused or well-trained 100% of the time.

This was/is the idea behind Flattr, I think.

You have 10 € in your account at the beginning of the month which were automatically invoiced from your debit card. You now visit sites or articles or whatever and they have the Flattr button integrated. You like something? You click the Flattr button!

In the end your balance will be split evenly among all Flattr buttons you clicked that month. If you visit NYT regularly and click their buttons often, they will get more money from you than others.

I think you could also set that a single click was worth x cent and they invoiced you the total amount at the end of the month, but I'm not sure about that.

All in all Flattr was/is a great idea, it just somehow did not take off.

> I'm interested, how close to reality is this view of front end devs?

It rings true to me. Accessibility isn't really on the radar of many of the developers I've worked with, and managers want business reasons to justify the extra effort that WCAG compliance would require. I didn't start thinking about/pushing for it until I saw a talk at a conference last year.

Education, banking, and government sites are mandated by law to be accessible in the US, but outside of that there's no guarantee that anything will be accessible, what I've seen?
discrimation (horizontal) vs sensitivity (vertical)

As we age, we lose some hearing power and visual acuity, for physical reasons on the organs.

As our brains mature, they learn to not discrimate among certain "unimportant" sounds and colors. Adults can't lose the ability to disambiguate among novel language phonemes from foreign languages (as perfectly as kids can), and similarly they lose ability to distinguish similar colors that they learned are irrelevant.
This isa tradeoff adaptation, so you can see a shadow gradient as single color instead of a complex spectrum, understand that traffic lights are showing the same signal despite variation in frequency, etc.

On another level, very small children (babies) have poor color vision, because their eyes and brains are still missing basic development.

So it's a curve: newborns have poor hearing and vision tha rapidly improves for a few years and then decays slowly, for both physical breakdown and for mental "optimization"
The tech behind these sites is tricky - to make it work at all, they do a lot of caching. The "roll" in price is probably the change between the last time someone searched for that room type at that hotel and now (when availability gets rechecked). My guess is it could also roll downwards.
1) Not to most of the best content, 2) other business models may have an actual chance when not competing with "free", 3) actually-free, community-driven sites and services (and standards and protocols—those used to be nice) will have a larger audience and larger creator interest when not competing with "free" (and well-bankrolled).

Iceland is trying to reduce its dependence on oil exports, which is a good thing, by directing efforts towards Tourism. But looks like this is also affecting nature in its own way. It is like we can't really interact with nature without destroying it in some way or the other.

Instagram does affect people a lot and the same people deny it. I am not on Instagram, never got onto it as I realized the impact FB was having in my life when it was the most popular medium. Uninstalled the FB app as well, I do access it through the browser occasionally, necessary evil and all that. But of course, instagramers (don't know if this is even a word) think they are inspiring people. What do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope Instagram goes through their new change of not showing the number of likes to viewers. Would be interesting to see whether that has any modification of societal behavior of people hooked onto it.
