> They always have to find a new name for everything.

Advertising is not always about selling products. It can be about selling a concept.

They find these new names to sell these concepts to the people who want to be "trendy" and "hip", and subsequently garner more following.

> Declaring values is done using either "var" or "val". "val" declarations cannot be reassigned, whereas "vars" can.

I wonder why they decided on these very mistakable names. Why not const/constant/cons/whatever else just as long it's distinguishable from each other?

So the main complaint about SPP is that it screws password managers, but then there's this:

> Most password managers erase the clipboard as soon as they have pasted your password into the website, and some avoid the clipboard completely by typing in the password with a 'virtual keyboard' instead.

Isn't the latter approach much safer? If so, shouldn't it be the de facto standard since it prevents "clipboard stealing" and also removes the issue of not being able to paste content into an SPP form input?

We can throw all sorts of thoughts into the theory pot but ultimately no one knows for sure. Humans are volatile and unpredictable.

I can't, but it's because it's not the CFO and CMO representing the company on the public realm, so they're not the faces and names I see when there's news about a company in which I do not work at or with.

If this "exposure" happens within a company as well, that's an issue for each company to assess and deal with accordingly.

Somebody will probably create an Electron app that wraps the web app, just like with Google Play Music

"it's for desktop apps"

haha can you imagine if desktop users had different resolutions and aspect ratios on their screens? oh wait...

I remember playing this on the PS1

The coolest thing about this game is that you could directly play as any unit like it was a third-person action game

I didn't think it was patronising;

I think it was just pointing out a semantic flaw in the post: OP forgot to say where he lives, so we don't know what "abroad" is in his case.
