This doesn’t really answer your question but I was on Jury Duty recently and was disappointed to learn that the stenographer was using a normal QWERTY keyboard and boring Dell computer. It seems that they used special software however that was connected to an audio feed with some recall ability.

That being said there is some [support for stenography in the QMK programmable keyboard firmware](https://docs.qmk.fm/features/stenography). I’m not sure how widespread its use is.


Shut up.


Thank you for your inciteful and well-reasoned argument. Care to elaborate?


No.


I would love feedback! ❤


"Paste" is not an intuitive synonym for "run." If you type or paste some code, you've already pasted. In JSBin it's render. You should just say run.

Also it's always forking, maybe I just want to edit the current without changing the URL.


Thanks for the feedback @Detrus! I plan on adding a "Run" functionality that can be used before "Saving"/"Pasting". As for editing, that might come down the line if I add something like BrowserID for signing up/in.


Informative 𝘢𝘯𝘥 how!



That's nuts, I can't believe they even copied the name.


FWIW, only Windows behaves likes this. Most other window managers and OSes behave as you described. So this is technically not an issue of functionality, but an issue of your preconceptions of how a app switcher should work.


Semi-colons do not enable this feature. Multi-line chaining works just fine sans-semis.


Actually it's different in that:

a) It's per single user.

b) It shows the results as one big diff, not by commit.

Which makes it convenient and useful for getting a broad overview of what one has accomplished in a day. (edit: formatting)


Let me get this straight, you take pity on a business because people are outraged that the information they are providing is incorrect and they are deliberately tricking people into believing they are affiliated the W3C standards group? As well, it's not as if several better resources don't already exist. Too bad they don't have the advantage of such a deceptive name.


Is there any human on the planet that thinks W3Schools is affiliated with W3C? If you're smart enough to know what W3C is, then you know W3Schools is different. It's a strawman, knock it down.

W3C did not invent the term world wide web, www, or w3 - there is no deception.


Call me dumb, but I never realised they weren't affiliated.

I originally learned HTML and CSS from the W3 specs, but when I needed a quick reference page W3Schools were usually on the top of the Google search results. I usually spent about ten seconds clicking the link, reading the page, then leaving with the info I needed. Sure, I knew what W3C stood for, vs just plain W3, but I never even thought about the name.

I actually feel pretty bad now: I recommended W3Schools as a beginner PHP tutorial for a non-coding friend, after a StackOverflow thread recommended it. I just used the PHP manual myself, but she was after something friendlier. Don't suppose anyone knows a decent alternative beginners' tutorial which promotes modern PHP practices and will steer her away from shooting herself in the foot?


> W3C did not invent the term world wide web, www, or w3 - there is no deception.

W3C was founded by (and remains directed by) Tim Berners-Lee, who did, in fact, invent both the term "world wide web" and the actual world wide web.


If you read through the content you'll see it's not an attack. It simply addresses some major flaws in W3Schools as well as some sketchy business practices.


Perhaps the using the term "fools" could be seen as an attack. They do bring up some interesting grievances.


Their points are valid of course...but it seems laughably naive to treat this as some kind of cause that developers should rally around. And their response to "why don't you build a better version' made me laugh - it sort of encapsulates internet culture in general. I'd like to see more links to better sites for rank beginners than this "call to arms" stuff.


I wrote the "why don't you build a better version" text as a response to "Internet Culture," which mandates that if you want to point out that something is bad, you actually have to build a better alternative yourself.

If I ride on a boring, crappy rollercoaster, I don't need to open up my own theme park in order to air my frustrations.

A lot of the people who worked on w3fools spend a lot of time helping actual other human beings who need support in building websites, and encounter the errors from w3schools regularly, and we invest our time in those and other endeavours. W3schools said "we're going to spend OUR time on building an entry-level reference that everyone can use," and we want

a) the community to be well-aware of its caveats b) it to improve


The best links to web documentation for all (rank beginners to experts) are included on the w3fools page.


or a good rhyme...
