That's not the point and you know it.

CSS beats graphics because it can be changed programatically. Browser supporting, _all_ the parameters can be changed to suit the rest of the UI. If the designer writes their CSS in browser like I do, it's instantaneous and immensely powerful.
With images, it's, well, you know, slower.

Same reaction here.
Actually made me remove a filter I had to trash all chats. Saving, resources allowing, from here on out.

And that the question randomizes pretty well. Otherwise posts could be automated.

Wondering how this will stack up to emdee.app (still in development).

Fair enough, but I think you'd appreciate the point more if you were imagining Zork instead of Linux.

Please don't make me create yet-another-account to see a number.

"The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to recognize their mistakes."

I'd assume this is doing that, people just don't know it.

I thought I did, and now I'm not so sure.

That tweet frustrates the hell out of me. Am I wrong to read "tech geniuses" as kind of condescending?

Phenomenon itself isn't new, but surely rate of incidence is, right? However meaningless it all is.

Is this a testament to the innovation of the Hotmail team or the non-savvy of its userbase? Honest question.

I understand the sentiment and don't use it on personal sites. For apps, though, I don't quite have the confidence that my users will know to open external links in new tabs.

Maybe, but not successfully. Important distinction.

This is the perfect wrong answer to a thought experiment.

I wonder how many LaunchRock teasers are placeholders for actual apps vs "idea people" just testing the waters...

Valid point, but _fit into_ and _wear_ are different things. Most skinny people don't like swimming in their clothes.
"Edge" rendering on X browsers is still X different ways for all those stuck-in-time browsers to decide what "edge" meant at the time of their release or last update.
That meta tag is a good practice but not the ultimate solution.
