I'm surprised the article doesn't talk about the <datalist> element. It makes the using the native time input much more user friendly as you can populate it with common times (e.g. Every 30 minutes: 09:00, 09:30, etc... instead of allowing every minute to be selected by default)
It's not quite fully supported in browsers but it's a nice enhancement to those where it works.

This is a nightmare everywhere I have seen it implemented. I cannot think of any situation or use case where this is not the worst solution possible.
In one system we use, you have to scroll through a 12000 pixel tall list of 15 minute increments. And you can't type to search, because they use AM/PM....
It does talk about datalist! Near the end. Maybe they changed the article and added it after you commented?
It doesn't say a ton about it. I'm interested in hearing more about usability of actual current browser implementations of these widgets, with dataalist but also in general.
It's still baiting you - why are they hated? The article is a good presentation and tutorial on this particular feature which is itself interesting, but the current title could mean many different things and isn't very clear. Is it a list of hated features? Is it a rant about CSS?
Surely the fact they've linked to a shopping site backs up the opening paragraphs.

Although it's not quite sheep Newcastle has a Town Moor (Larger than Central Park) which has grazing cattle. There's also a farm not too far from the city centre which has grazing sheep.
If you mean Jesmond Dene, there's a petting zoo with a few small beasts and birds. I know they have a couple of breeds of goat but I don't recall seeing any sheep on my last visit (within the last month).
You still don't need to go too far, there's a fair few farms just outside Ponteland that have grazing sheep and I'll regularly cycle past farmers with their collies on the quad bikes on a Sunday morning.
Thanks for pointing that out! It was a mistake to include Vatican City in the list since it’s a UN non-member observer state. I see how that made the question and answers a bit redundant—I'll make sure to fix it!
Nowhere in the article does it mention that someone was driving the car. It's just an inanimate car with no driver. It absolves any responsibility to the human behind the wheel.

No less catchy. It's why there are media guidelines around reporting on collisions.
No, I do understand. I'm as anti-car as the next guy. It's absurd that we have normalised multi-ton death machines travelling at high speeds within arms-reach of pedestrians. One of the first things I said after it happened was "fucking cagers", which is a phrase I picked up years ago from DIY electric bike forums. I don't own a car and hope I never have to.
But it's also not as simple as driver hits pedestrian.
Two drivers were involved. The resulting wreckage slid into us. I am reasonably confident that one of those two drivers is at fault - distracted or not paying enough attention and straying into the wrong lane, but I have no idea which. Maybe I'll find out eventually, when the police finish investigating.
If I was reporting on the crash, then sure, maybe "a driver slid into me after crashing into another car in a collision that was maybe his fault" would be a better title.
The infrastructure is often insufficient for existing homes nevermind for any expansion.
I've recently moved house but I'm having to stay registered to my Dentist & Doctors 30 miles away because the wait list to get registered in my new town is months.
They just built over 1000 homes near me, but not one dentist or doctors. Now the small local surgeries are expected to take these new households on. Again government policy not holding up to community needs.
To be fair, you can't "build" a dentist or a doctor like you can a home. First the homes come, then the residents move in. Those residents will have demands, such as health and dental care. Once those demands are heard, the doctors and dentists will finally build their offices.
Sure, this is true in a purely free-market world. But this is also why a purely free-market approach doesn't functionally work in many cases. This problem is solvable by government intervention.
> Sure, this is true in a purely free-market world.
The world we live in, yes.
> But this is also why a purely free-market approach doesn't functionally work in many cases. This problem is solvable by government intervention.
Sure, or we might end up growing the wrong crops per government order and experience massive starvation all across the country. I hope you like potatoes!
> To be fair, you can't "build" a dentist or a doctor like you can a home.
Sure you can. When you build an office block or a shopping mall do you put in toilets or do you wait till the shoppers start shopping then see if their demands include going to the bathroom?
You can build toilets just like you can homes. Toilets are standard in all homes and office buildings. You still can't build a doctor or a dentist. That takes a lot of hard work from someone who isn't you.
The problem with dentists isn't the shortage of accomodation for clinics; it's the dentists trades union restricting entry to the profession.
All the talk of NHS treatment being "free at the point of delivery" is bollocks when you're talking about dentistry; NHS dentistry isn't free, unless you're a child or a pensioner. And if you need something like a crown, you probably can't get that on the NHS at all.
There's a shortage of GPs. Two of the small local surgeries near me have reduced opening times because they don't have the staff to staff them. The need is still there - the villages are growing, but the villagers have to travel to the next village if they're lucky enough to be able to get an appointment.
Travelling to another country for treatment sounds like the luxury to be honest. The unluxury would be no health care, or travelling 100 miles within the UK by train/bus.
I am contesting the "having" part of that sentence. The UK has problems, but it is not a country in dire straits.
To be clear: We are talking about GP right? To say get your blood pressure checked, or some mild antibiotics, or a rash cream, or referral to specialist? Not a specific treatment or surgery.
GPs gatekeep a most referrals, it's often virtually impossible to get any substantial treatment or surgery unless referred by a GP. Furthermore, for NHS treatments, it has to be a referral from an NHS GP, so you can't simply pay for a private GP to check something out.
Or, you can just wait for it to become bad enough that you go directly from A&E to inpatient care.
Having to wait 6 months is not as bad as having no other option. Although, I do empathize for your inability to go somewhere local and need of another option.
It's not quite fully supported in browsers but it's a nice enhancement to those where it works.
