    A number with 24 million digits

    Funny how we can only express a number by its power (10^24), and as technology and computers make progress we'll have to find another way to talk about a number when even its power is too large to give the brain a hint on how big it is.

    The "close to optimal" algorithm is definitely not simple. But of course you could try randomly millions of paths and take the best - which could still be very far from optimal.

    He shouldn't, the pop-up says clearly it's "final", each time.

    Well it seems it's a more general matter ; don't know if you're a stackoverflow contributor, but over there also the same amount of angriness has taken over the site within the last (two?) year(s).

  15. Zuck sucks

    Difficulty to manage at a young age. He might not be that bad, but with that high level of responsibilities and that low level of experience he is more prone to other people influence, people who care more about blind profit (they're paid by the company) than ideas and ethics (more the CEO side).

  16. Maybe. But another (big) problem is (as was mentioned in another story) the piling of code layers. Dev A makes code A, dev B doesn't want to go into those lengthy lines of codes mixed in JS+HTML+CSS (for the client side only), and "patches" on top of that: B writes his/her own code run after code A. Good luck cleaning that mess after dev Z...

  17. Ok, that's not the link the paragraph in TFS was referring to. Anyway, a "hidden element" is, has been and will be part of the DOM for a long time. If Edge coughs because Google added a hidden element that doesn't match Edge too-specific code anymore, MS has a programming approach problem and they better use Chromium. And that's exactly what they plan on doing. MS blames whoever when Edge breaks, while the real reason is rather the difficulty to render a browser that copes with today's demands (mainly features and speed).

    That depends on your definition of "solar system"

    "My definition" of the solar system actually depends on what is found on the Internet. Like that site. Heliopause or not, "their" solar system ends there.

    RTFS

    "For no obvious reason, Google changed YouTube to add a hidden, empty HTML element that overlaid each video..."

    That phrase is nowhere inside the page linked to it, and, further, the page is made from comments, like this very /.. Anyway, a hidden element might be truly existing, but a page made and modified by tons of web developers, adding layer to layers, has likely weirder elements. On top of that, if a "hidden element" breaks Edge, it's maybe because that browser code is not generic enough ; meaning they did some "optimization" to target a specifically coded page, and it breaks when that page code changes.
