From that article:
> Blinded clinical trials show that people with MCS react as often and as strongly to placebos as they do to chemical stimuli; the existence and severity of symptoms is seemingly related to perception that a chemical stimulus is present.

Building a powerful sandbox that maintains anonymity is a difficult problem. The statement that CSS is overpowered is clickbait for a different argument.

Re:Canada to announce marijuana will be legal by July 1, 2018

Quantity of smoke inhaled is several orders of magnitude smaller than with cigarettes. There's some evidence to suggest that, whether due to quantity or other factors, smoking marijuana casually does not substantially harm lung function[1].

Most browsers support user stylesheets, either built-in (Firefox/Safari) or as an extension, which can accomplish this.

On Safari, both of these examples flash the underlying panel before the transition takes place. On Firefox, the transition is quite choppy. Is this just me? (I'm sure there's a simple fix, i.e. maybe one of the layers isn't getting composited the whole time...)

I think they're referring to any non-web language, e.g. if I could host and distribute C apps with the ease of the web. (Getting end-users to actually run and use a program with one click, rather than having to download a binary, run it separately, etc.)

I'm from Des Moines (now in SF); it has really matured in the last twenty years. It's a great place to live: inexpensive, nice people, plenty of space, definitely worth overlooking the stereotypes. Weather? You got it: feet of snow in the winter, hot in the summer, perfect in the fall and spring.
Re:Generators in Firefox now 22 times faster

Yeah, but only in the most trivial sense. Generators are a very, very poor substitute for proper yield support, just as they were when Python devs used them in Twisted.
