Adjust Share One night in early 1941, when Harry Crews was five years old, his father nearly killed his mother with a twelve-gauge shotgun. Looking back almost four decades later, Crews didn’t find that fact particularly exceptional. This was Bacon County, Georgia, where in those days “it was not unusual for a man to shoot at his wife,” as he wrote in his memoir A Childhood: The Biography of a Place. “It was only unusual if he hit her.” Crews and his older brother heard the shot, which blew the

The time is right for a DOM templating API

TL;DR: I want to propose adding a declarative templating API to the web platform. Here's why... The web platform is the most successful application runtime of all time. While the largest reason for this is the web's reach, it wouldn't be possible without the DOM API, which turns a mostly static document viewer into a highly dynamic and expressive runtime. For as much hate as the DOM sometimes receives (some of that deserved, but some really not!) the DOM is undeniably a very powerful API. This

13-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop review: A slightly worse version of a year-old PC

Microsoft's new 13-inch Surface Laptop is an odd one. It's inarguably a step down in every respect from last year's 13.8-inch Surface Laptop. But it's also too good (and too expensive) to be considered a replacement for the Surface Laptop Go, the company's perennially overpriced and underspecced entry-level laptop. It's cheaper than last year's Surfaces, but mostly because Microsoft gave those devices a de facto price hike by killing the entry-level configurations of those PCs. We're left with
