My experience doesn't match that; at Harvard (class of 2002) the student body was I think 52% male, and Physics and Computer Science classes were around 90% male or more (some 100% I think). Has that changed in the years since?

Another safety feature many plugs (e.g., Australian) have is prongs on the plugs that are insulated for half the length, so a half-plugged-in plug isn't dangerous because the position at which the plug reaches the power is further than where the insulated bits are in the outlet.

IIRC, It solved a real-world character set and character encoding interoperability problem where the different Japanese cell carriers had different sets of emoji, and people on one carrier sending SMSes to people on another carrier would get the wrong emoji.
The @w3ctag as a whole might decide we have to reject() Travis's Promise.

If only I could figure out whether or not they've renamed themselves to La Espuela...
There are other good burritos in the bay area, but they're the best I know in Mountain View (though I usually go to the Dana Street one).
If that's all that implements it, I'd be in favor of removing, especially if we can convince Chrome folks.

( I've got friends in Pennsylvania. The license plates said so! )
Senator Toomey's contact form toomey.senate.gov/?p=contact doesn't have a "Topic" for "Guns" or "Gun Control"... just "2nd Amendment".
So maybe use the form to suggest repealing it?

It was amusing to hear your name paged while I was trying to figure out which other Mozilla folks were on the flight.

Stick it in a GitHub repository and configure the repo to serve the master branch on github.io?

I would expect the pixel-level details of drawing text to canvas to be both browser-specific and platform-specific. So the tool will show different things on different browser/platform combinations, because they do different things.

If I strip out the wayback machine stuff (not necessary), and change the mozImageSmoothingEnabled to imageSmoothingEnabled as Firefox's developer console suggests, then it works in Chrome on Linux (although Firefox on Linux doesn't seem to do subpixel-position drawing to canvas).

30,000 new homes seems like a good number if the city will rezone similarly-transit-rich areas to similar densities in the near future. Otherwise would hold out for 50,000.

"failed 52 to 47" is ambiguous when the threshold is 60. The article could be clearer about whether it got 52 in favor or 52 against.
