Had a similar experience with Turkish. Free flight change but the website didn’t work and every time I called them I got insane price differences that were almost the same as a full flight ticket. I ended up going to the airport sales office and doing it there (still did not come cheap)

Qatar also offers a “5% premium” when you request a voucher instead of a refund. But hey the premium is on the price before some base fees, so the voucher total is almost exactly what you paid, not 105% as you’d expect.

I'm fine with JSX being stricter. "HTML soup" is extremely hard and slow to parse, compared to JSX.

The community gave up shipping strict XHTML to the browser because the breakage could happen at runtime, whereas JSX disappears (and shows errors) at build time, so you can't ship broken JSX.

In the "Helloworld" example given it's not stricter, it's a different incompatible choice.

> I really don't understand how the author thinks it is misleading.

<img/> does what you want (which is always one thing) while <picture/> does not.

/ is a false signal, therefore misleading.

No, my argument is that / is completely useless and is a false signal in HTML, it really is just ignored. I never argued that it makes anything easier.

An unclosed <picture> doesn't automatically become valid, but at least there's nothing suggesting that it can be done.

PS - VS Code does not. Sublime Text does not.

I haven't seen "reeducation camps" in the west in a few decades

The US imprisons tons of people, with a strong bias towards certain races.

Are our prisons meaningfully different from "reeducation camps"? Are they any less biased, brutal, or damaging?

You can argue that prisoners in the US are "criminals", but states can call whoever they want a criminal.

You may argue that drug users should not be incarcerated or that there's bias in finding such users, but this unfortunately happens in most of the world and in China.

You or your children can end up in the camps for praying in Xinjiang, it's not exactly the same thing.

This is totally ridiculous. China is literally committing genocide. They are kidnapping innocent people and harvesting their organs.

What is ridiculous is that China is vigurously criticised in every news outlet in the West on every occasion, while the French gov't gets away with almost everything. Can you explain that?

They’re literally protesting right now in the streets in France, so I don’t know what you’re talking about.

No country is a saint, but you should stop with the whataboutism.

That is true, luckily. OTOH, to be fair the west has been good at "offshoring" its abuses for quite a few centuries.

Not in a module context:

    # a.mjs
    (()=>{
      a = 1
    })();

    # in a shell
    $ node a.mjs
    ReferenceError: a is not defined

Mathematically not wrong, but most definitely misleading/unethical. I don't think this was done unintentionally either, because the graph would still be perfectly readable without this change (as opposed to "a few points variation" where such zoom would be required)

It's perfectly fine to display data this way, but they should make it clearer that the start isn't 0 by using wiggly lines or by labelling the origin.

I share this sentiment. I use content blockers to avoid annoyances and trackers, but I'm ok with healthy ads and other local stats. The problem is not being able to distinguish them at scale.

> I'm ok with healthy ads

no such thing as a healthy ad!

> passkeys are a much better and easier method

Disagree. This isn't possible with passkeys:

- logging into a service with email and brain-stored password from any device

With passkeys, your phone becomes your password, so don't break it, lose it, let it die, forget it in the car, become too old, let your kids use it, etc

> “tap this button to magically log in” method

That only works if the device you tap it on is the same device with the key, while that's not always the way for many people (sync may or may not be set up or active)

you either can remember all your passwords and then you are fucked or you use a pass manager

passkeys will be stored in a pass manager and they can be recovered with device pin and master pass, I think they will be exportable too

so yes, you can log in with brain stored stuff

I guess you need a device to log in? then you log in to your pass manager and you can log in to anywhere

only this way you have to remember a passcode and a master pass, not 1000 passwords and you need your master pass 5x/10 years and your passcode every other day and you log in with your device and your biometrics

passkeys have issues but what you are saying is pure shit

Someone needs to create a browser that parses and displays every website in a format that I request.

My preferred format would probably be:

- answer to the title / synopsis

- the article, without ads, using the site’s style

Side note: Who still uses PH anyway? It's now literally a "freemium OnlyFans" since it exclusively shows content from known, direct producers. That's a useless fraction of what's available, especially if you're not interested in US content.
