Your argument reads to me to be a stronger reason to continue blocking ads.

If use of encryption were banned, I wouldn't even be able to unlock my Android.

I think it's important for the VM, which is what I got as to why they are proposing strong mode and sound types.
I imagine that let and const afford optimizations to the VM.

dev tools rarely work, just having the console open slows down the entire process by several magnitudes of order, the UI for safari devtools is horrible - I can never find what I am looking for when I need it, there is no public bug tracker for safari proper, web apis for database access are magnitudes slower than both firefox and chrome
I could go on ...

I think the main problem is that when you get into the exercises that require combinations of tactics, it assumes the student has the capacity to make that leap, or recall on demand everything they have learned and put them all together without a helping hand.
I'm towards the end of "Diving Deep" and I'm ready to give up as the exercises continually lead me to brute force moves until I hit the specific move you are looking for.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the site. I find the lessons quite informative and easy to follow, but the exercises are often impossible to get right as they are expecting one series of moves vs. applying what is learned in the lesson to reach a specific goal with a specific style of play, tactic, etc.
As an example I am stuck on http://www.chesscademy.com/exercises/initiative-controlling-...
My current board now looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/DxjsAKx.png
But no matter what I do, a popup keeps telling me "that move does not uphold initiative". It doesn't tell me why it doesn't, and I assume it doesn't actually know, rather it is looking for me to make a preprogrammed move. It won't allow me to attack the queen with a defended bishop, it won't let me do a lot of things that to me would continue to force the opponents hand.
I am certain for you the most optimal next move is obvious, but as learner the inflexible format of the many move/exchanges exercises is really frustrating.

They don't know who a key belongs to, they trust that you are the owner of said key when you upload it.

I find the "on to level x" popover slow and unnecessary, I just want to invert more colors :)

They provided a hosted callback in the clues. Just change foo to alert.

img src='garbage' onerror='script' is gauranteed to auto execute, where mouseover requires the user to mouse over the element.

Sounds like yet another manufacturing market for Germany to take up.

UI isn't responsive to my not really that small laptop screen. I have to horizontally scroll to see everything when there is little to see. There is too much whitespace everywhere.
