And what about blind people?

Android already does this. It's called Smart Lock. Just set your computer as a trusted device:

>For some reason shrimp which are essentially bugs are no problem because (I think) they come from the ocean, so there's an obvious mental line that can dissassociate them from other bugs.
Generally, we eat the innards, not the exoskeleton.

Rice does certainly work as a mild desiccant. Admittedly it is not a terribly effective desiccant, but it still has those properties.

We call that investing.

Why not just use constants?

Former ActionScript developer here. Can confirm, it was actually pretty great. It's a hell of a lot more of a cleaner language than Javascript, for instance.
Don't forget that most game UIs are still built in ActionScript, and they're just fine.

It's a bit misleading of a conclusion to make, because most of those changes likely aren't non-compatible changes.
For instance, maybe a chip goes out of manufacturing, and they can no longer get it supplied, but a successor product from the same supplier meets all the same requirements.
Perhaps a bracket goes out of manufacture, but an almost identical bracket is sourced from a different supplier.
This would qualify as a hardware modification, but is a non-breaking change.

I'm curious, where do you live? Do you make this observation coming from South Korea, or, for example, Los Angeles?

We have a format for something like that — WebP. As a bonus, it's less processor-intensive, which makes it suited for things like tiling backgrounds, or embedding many of them on a page — a huge problem for MP4s that anyone who's enabled the on their services has no doubt already discovered.

Microsoft didn't coin the term. It's been in use for at least the last few years.

Same. And if you escape the mouse, it allows you to look, but gets even more glitchy.

Adding gulp-plumber will fix this, but I agree, it should be available out of the box.

"For instance, it does not allow to sequentially execute tasks: everything is done in parallel."
This is false. You can set perquisites for a task, which will be executed in sequence.

There are reports that this has already been solved.

Moreover:
Speaking a few weeks ago at the Q2 earnings call, Tesla Motors [NASDAQ:TSLA] CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla’s approach — replacing the drivetrain of affected cars under warranty at an estimated cost of $15,000 per case — was more about customer satisfaction than anything else. “Our optimization was customer happiness. And so we knew exactly what to do. We just wanted to give people their car back right away,” he said.

Extra awesome bonus point: When they were first testing their rockets, they used their submarine as a tow/tug for their launch platform. Yeah, these guys are crazy awesome.
