I mean, it is actually comprehensible but you know, California tech workers live in a monopoly money bubble and they think they know something about how the world works. Also they think that their own "culture" and leftist values are relevant to everywhere in the world even if they cant even point places on a map.

I will get banned if i talk more.

One thing i noticed is that most of the conversation here feels alien to me.

I think this is because most of the people here are living in California and they seem to have a very particular world view not always compatible or even undertandable for anyone from any other place.

I used to enjoy this website in like, 2015/16 i think, now the topics are not even tech related anymore.

For me, it's absolutely hilarious to see the frontend development discussion. They somehow figure the way to go full circle every 6 months.

> "We’ve redesigned and modernized the core experience to be cleaner, more inviting, and easier to use."

This usually means we reskinned and somehow ended with it being slower.

Also the whole release notes are UI changes, particulary for mac ?

I wished the only non-chromium browser with active development was.. idk, different?

Wait until Google starts blocking URLs in Chrome and Android to protect you from "harmful" content.

Maybe Facebook can join and block in WhatsApp too.

Hey it's free market, private company product yay!

I work as a developer in a trade marketing company, our platform have dashboards with different type of charts for our clients to measure different metrics of their business.

The front end requests to the backend each chart on the current dashboad, then the backend, depending of the type of chart, gets the data from the database and passes it to the front who renders it, it could be a pie chart, a bar chart, a table, etc.

We hade 2 or 3 different types of table charts, al using different js based solutions, one of them using bootstrap, i don't remeber the others.

The javascript solutions had responsiveness issues, when you changed the size of the window, or used something that is not Chrome, column headers messed everything up.

One day i decided to end that and added a new type of chart, it expected one table resultset from the db, and once in the front it rendered a traditional <table> with it's content.

We have no more problems with table charts. It works in every browser and every screen resolution.

It was possible to fix the current js tables of course, but is it realy necessary? We have been using tables since forever, and they are just to correct way to display table data on the web.

Thats it, it just works.

Sorry if i don't understand this totally, but why is scraping for pdf and ppt/pptx files and mirroring them illegal?

If you can reach that files just scraping it means they are somehow open to public access.

No joke, i am genuinely asking.
