Re:The JavaScript Ecosystem Is Delightfully Weird on Thursday May 11, 2023 @11:42AM (#35903811)

ECMAScript Language Specification 13th Edition / June 2022 (846 pages): https://www.ecma-international.org/wp-content/uploads/ECMA-2...

Working Draft, Standard for Programming Language C++ from 2020-01-14 (1815 pages): https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2020/n48...

I'm not sure what's the "correct" spec for the current C++ standard is. Still a big difference between these languages, but 846 pages isn't exactly small either.

> Apple reportedly hopes to “gain exemptions” from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to remove the steering wheel and brakes, relying fully on self-driving technology.

That sounds crazy to me given the state of self-driving technology. But it sounds like Apple.

I'm not sure about down voted ones, but I can confirm that I sometimes get already watched movies recommended again (even in recommendation mails).

Re:Why does Instagram continue to store and use all of my contacts? on Tuesday October 20, 2020 @06:09PM (#24842837)

What are you referring to? Users are asked to grant access to contacts since iOS 6 (released 8 years ago).

Re:Lesser-known Web APIs on Wednesday September 02, 2020 @07:16AM (#24352111)

I don't know about other browsers, but Webkit/Safari only allows writing to the clipboard when triggered by a user interaction.

Copied from https://webkit.org/blog/10855/async-clipboard-api/:

"The request to write to the clipboard must be triggered during a user gesture. A call to clipboard.write or clipboard.writeText outside the scope of a user gesture (such as click or touch event handlers) will result in the immediate rejection of the promise returned by the API call."
