In Europe "no 737 MAX" basically means "no Ryanair". Depending on how you feel about Ryanair, avoiding the 737 MAX can be very easy.

In other places, like the US, they may not be practical to avoid.

No, KeepassXC has an option to merge databases, it never caused me any trouble. I have a similar setup to parent commenter.

I don't think that's true. Some years ago I did a free trial with them (did not pay anything). More recently I decided to actually sign up (for a paid account) and the email address I used for the free trial years ago was not available. I eventually got that username only after contacting support and giving them the date on which I started that free trial, to prove it was me.

This very article states:

> This long-standing quest, known as chrysopoeia, may have been motivated by the observation that dull grey, relatively abundant lead is of a similar density to gold, which has long been coveted for its beautiful colour and rarity.

Their own Gmail client. I have yet to see one that works with normal email.

You're right, but the author's approach still works by accident, because ClearType is disabled when drawing text to canvas. I am not sure why that's the case, but I would guess it's because the subpixel colors can only be computed correctly when the background color is known (and static), and with a canvas, the background can be drawn later or animated. ClearType is only enabled for normal text on the page, and many CSS properties incidentally disable it presumably for similar reasons (e.g. 'will-change: opacity;').

You can keep your commands simple enough so that they can be executed by both `sh` and `cmd.exe`. If you need anything more complex than invoking other programs, `&&`, `|` and `>`, it's time to rewrite your build script in a real programming language anyway.

If you read the linked article, it explains that this is exactly what they do.

It seemed to me that the previous poster wanted a way to wait for the result of a promise (in a blocking manner), and I meant that this is available in other languages. You're right that it is not usually spelled "await".

You can await in a normal function in better languages, just not in JavaScript.

Probably. I've encountered a case where setting `contain` for unrelated reasons noticeably decreased the GPU memory use as reported by the browser: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373066#10096943 (search for "As a bonus"). Wikipedia is pretty light, so in absolute terms it wasn't really meaningful, but I could see that on a more complex site.

XSLT would be a classic answer, but it's a bit of a lost ancient technology these days. I've only used it in the browser for a lark, but I suppose you'd find mature (old) libraries for working with it easily enough.

PHPTAL is another system I've heard of (but never used) that seems to be built on this idea. It is also very mature (old). https://phptal.org/

In general working with DOM doesn't seem to be very cool these days. Everyone uses template systems that are glorified string concatenators, like Mustache, and doesn't care about security issues due to bad escaping.

I mean… yes? I don't see what's so confusing. In an office building, if anything goes wrong, an alarm goes off and everyone leaves, and insurance pays for damages. In a residential building, you have people sleeping, sick, possessions they might not be willing to leave behind, babies, pets… It makes sense for the safety requirements to be different.

It's used to render sheets and audio in Wikipedia articles (I hope this answers several of your questions). Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty#Lyrics_and_melod...

It is more pleasant to the eye if you remove the spaces:

    <infile some_cmd >outfile

Just like you wouldn't add spaces in the middle of '2>&1' when redirecting stderr to stdout:

    <infile some_cmd >outfile 2>&1
