Criterion.

"And this kind of pedantry feels like a tactic."

Astonishing that this was the response to a comment which offered-up le mot juste.

bahjoite commented on Using the Web for a Day with JavaScript Turned Off   smashingmagazine.com/2018... · Posted by u/mhr_online

Oh my lord, this article is non-sense. Had you gone to a website and had not been able to read anything I would say... good point. But you went to a Wordpress admin to prove your point. Lord have mercy... you're really going to hate your experience once WP switches to a JS based editor. Quick, let's try using Facebook and other apps built on JS frameworks and complain about the functionality not working. Let's try searching data tables with JS off, and let's try making ajax requests to load data over time instead all at once. It's not only in your browser it's in your phones, in apps that provide you services you can't live without.

These type of articles are a shame and are only written to instigate fights among developers. The world is using JS, it's on every major app. Get over it or make something better.

The whole point of the article is that not everybody is able to use javascript, for a variety of reasons, and it makes perfect sense for apps to provide as close to equivalent functionality as is practicable.

For PHPers and lovers of Free Software, Eclipse and PHP Developer Tools (PDT) are very fine tools. Long live Eclipse!

Someone should add a "Has my hashed password been broken?" and an opt-in notification when one's password is eventually revealed.

Last person standing gets a prize.

We need a concentrated effort to move solutions like Ghostery and Ad Block Plus up the chain, from the browser in to the router. And we need to make it user friendly and sexy.

And for what it's worth, I don't like in Ghostery, a plugin I run to try and stem the tide of tracking, how many times it begs me to send usage data and create an account. That's literally the opposite of why I downloaded you, Ghostery.

Remove ghostery and install privacy badger instead https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

Same thing (the text does not appear) happens if you have Ghostery on blocking all the trackers.
bahjoite · 8 years ago
Same. And with nearly thirteen thousand lines in the source of the page you'd think the text would be there too.

edit: oh, there it is, 25 lines beginning at line 8201.

Same for doorbell. I flat out won't answer the front door if someone rings it and I'm not expecting anyone.
bahjoite · 8 years ago
People should send calling cards ("Hi, it's so-and-so, wish to call on you at your convenience") and wait for a response. Same for telephones (send an email/text message first).
