If you're okay with pointing out that statistically Indians are much more likely to make stupid answers, what's wrong with saying statistically blacks are much more likely to commit crimes.

Choose both or none.

I did, once. But after that one entirely new sessions, they automatically "click" the sign in to google button behind the scenes and log me in with the token.

Very creepy

Quora logs you in automatically if you're logged in to google.

Also makes it extremely hard to log out.

Not to mention they have no respect for users.

For those that don't know- scalatags is an amazing html-ish library that allows you to write html once and render both from server and from client. SSR and SPA in one for you cool kids out there.

Not to mention no more misspellings of attributes with strong typed html

Microsoft if you're reading this this is your fault for not marketing enough.

WSL is windows subsystem for Linux. Think of it like this- say you have an 'ls' binary from UNIX machine. You have WSL enabled on your machine in Windows. Windows will start the ls process and the UNIX calls will be handles in windows. (the kernel has mappings).

It's possible, and actually its wonderful experience, to run full "linux" environment right from windows at native speed.

It's not perfect and one of the biggest issues has been file system speed but besides that and some other smaller issues its the absolute best of both worlds- OneNote + excel + outlook + i3

I don't understand the point of selling a DRM free eBook. It's going to be pirated, wouldn't it? What could be some reasons behind him doing so?

I mean slender, less width. The latter. I saw that in the Mozilla post about goodbye edgehtml, the headline was in wide font.

Is there a crash course in typography I can get somewhere? I have trouble deciding whether slim fonts are better or wide fonts are for legibility. And what other factors matter more.
