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.
