The :active pseudoclass has been used to change the appearance of links since the beginning. (Probably in part because loading links was considerably slower back then.) Not giving links an :active style is a bizarre oversight.

And 7 left January 1st, so I don’t know if I would include them in talks of an exodus.

Steve Jobs would not have been defined by or limited by his title.

Steve Jobs was a dick and a monster and his product vision did not make him a good person or better for Apple over the long run.

If Congress had wanted to get rid of the penny, they would have done so, since they specifically have the power to “coin money” under Article 1, Section 8.

In fact they have introduced a bill to do just that, that has not passed yet, which means they have not done that.

Do these other countries described above know whether you had a kid or got divorced?

Yes, in many European countries dependents and marital status changes are registered in a national civil registry, which the tax authority can query directly.

Countries like the U.S., Canada, the U.K. cannot easily do that without huge data-sharing reforms.

Even the US knows that you've had a qualifying event, they're just being stubborn.

The federal government doesn't always know if you've had a child or if you've died. Not even specifically the IRS, but its possible for you to have a child and never involve any organization that reports to the federal government.

So you can support JSON while still being REST. For example, Datastar supports merging in HTML, JS, JSON into the current view of a resource. They work together to keep the resource state unified versus polling. In general the Datastar way is...

1. make an MPA 2. each page is a resource 3. keep a stream open on the current state of that resource 4. ship, touch grass, repeat

Less so now that the `all: unset` property is getting better support.

Screen readers have and continue to lag in implementing standards designed specifically for accessibility, so I would say they are obviously not sophisticated enough.

(One example: https://heydonworks.com/article/aria-controls-is-poop)

"killed by an officer's duty weapon" or "died in an officer-involved shooting" are the ways police departments tend to put it.
