Since everything is a car analogy... A driverless vehicle doesn't require me to add a driver to reach a destination. A serverless solution doesn't require me to add a server to achieve the goal. Something is still driving the car,

I disagree. I think that what college offers is more than an increase in salary. For hyperbole’s sake, you could use the argument of ‘my trust fund is already paying me more than your median graduate’s full-time job’ and most would roll the

The friction coefficients in rain aren’t bad if you’re riding at posted speeds, outside of solid metal and painted lines. It’s riding right after it starts raining that you want to avoid - all of the oils which drip from vehicles get displa

Why is this? Camcorders in the 80s weren’t weird. Home movies weren’t weird. Is it solely because the device has other primary functions? Because it’s not clear that if you’re pointing at something you’re likely recording?

I don’t remember being able to do this at school while in a classroom. So I guess that part is new. And likely a problem if that’s the only venue for required learning.

Because if you face the back of the boat the sides reverse. It’s similar to stage left. When you can’t afford to be confused, one name is better than a conflicting argument between your left and the boats left.

Indeed, and this is why they continue to downscale the number of people doing such tasks.

Guarana flavored soda is the original flavor of Bawls energy drink, based in the US. Pretty tasty.

The use of acronyms without definition is exhausting. A three letter one which has multiple uses all the more so.

Hearthstone has two main game ‘modes’. The constructed Magic: The Gathering is card packs, the battlegrounds auto-chess team building auto-battler is subscription (although arguably that doesn’t affect much). The other incentives are cosmet

The engine and rules are the same, but the track is different. You change enough things you get a different game - you don’t change enough, and people get bored. I’d compare F1 to NASCAR. Building a new track isn’t cheap. The rules change e

I don’t mind paying for content on a monthly basis when it keeps the game fresh. To each their own though. I feel like Hearthstone for example is reasonably priced for what you get.

There is a business where you take picture, glue it to cardboard, cut it into pieces and then sell it to people who try to put it back together. Sometimes a puzzle is fun, and that’s all you need.

My spouse and I regularly do a Wednesday night dinner. One person cooks, everyone eats, and the cook rotates. People get a small break from the weekly grind while leaving early enough to work the next day. People get a nice social conversat

You’re conflating human work and machine work. I think that’s the real argument here - it’s fine to study someone’s work and learn from it as a human, because that takes impossibly more time and produces impossibly less total works than cha

I would imagine sonar coupled with water pressure could measure thickness (or however a sub measures its current depth). Surface temp is done via IR satellite imagery, although clouds will muck the readings.

Many people cannot react to several frames, it is usually a predictive choice instead of a reaction. A great example of this is the Millie Blocker written in flash some time ago. It tests the reaction time of a move with a startup of severa

There’s something to be said for native support in a library, and Axios having it for interceptors makes me fine with using it instead of fetch.

It’s odd. I could argue it’s to keep eggs in stock, considering what happened with cream cheese and bsby formula recently. Small drop in supply, media scarcity coverage, many people buy 5x their normal and suddenly the prophecy has self-ful

Is it? I would argue if you have live data in some large amount, you’re not going to be keeping that in sync with your dev environment (and it should be sanitized, which has its own fun oddities at times). I would also argue that your stagi

I think the goal is more ‘always have an exit strategy’ but for small children they can’t be expected to maintain a self awareness at all times. So the idea is to just remove the possibility entirely. Perhaps a statement of ‘don’t spend mor

It seems disingenuous to fade from one color to the next while displaying only two hexes for color. Either that or it’s not fading and my eyes are deceiving me, but as I’m on mobile I’ve not the time to look at the source code.

I will say my sole frustration thus far with Vite has been the inability to turn off caching in a meaningful way. This is especially important when you are developing a plug-in for a larger project installed into your node_modules - the Vit
