No dude, it was an analogy . Sorry to pick on you, you're just another ignorant uninformed take in this thread, but come on. This technology is progressing at an insane rate, the shit it's doing now is science fiction from just a

Warmer water holds less dissolved gases of all kinds, including CO2. You can see this yourself by heating water in your kitchen. Well below the boiling point, you can observe tiny bubbles, which are composed of nitrogen and oxygen dissolved

Back when I still used Google, in the dark old days of mid-late 2025, it sure seemed like the SEO was winning. Once you got to page 3, where the ads ran out, you would then smoothly transition into total scam. A common one was where they&#x

This is a genuinely huge deal, and I think it's worth appreciating why hydro makes sense here specifically, even though the headline cost looks steep. On paper, this project runs around $5M per megawatt of capacity, while utility solar

One problem with hydro is we've long ago exhausted the easy wins, and then went on to build the kinda wash outs. See the fight over Glen canyon, which even its architect went on to admit was a mistake. The wins now are in closed loop p

I tried repeatedly with several credit unions, with poor results. The final straw was the patelco hack that made the entire bank unavailable for over a week. In the aftermath they implanted crazy security measures where talking to a rep req

Can someone give me the current consensus on Howard Gartner/multiple intelligence vs. g, or general intelligence? Is this even something that people still discuss and research in academia, or did the whole field get tainted by accusati

I've been thinking of making a service which automatically sends deletion requests for all my service companies every month. Like, I currently keep a bunch of spyware features in my car turned of, but I have to keep location turned on

I still write tsx and my components look very similar to react -- just no hooks. The difference is I render to html server side and send the rendered html. Look into it in hono

I do get kind of annoyed that htmx submits forms using form url encoding. It's non trivial to validate, see https://igor.moomers.org/posts/zod-schemas-htmx As a result for POST requests you have to have htmx route

by igor47 2mo ago
Why are you so wedded to JSON responses? HTMX is meant to be used to render html; my big HTMX app basically never(1) renders JSON, so much so that I have a standing instruction to coding agents that if they're rendering JSON they'

Hmm. I'm as big an environmentalist as anyone, but I'm pretty sceptical of the data centers as eco disasters narrative. Your sources indicate that renewables already meet over 50% of new data center demand, and the demand is predi

Addressed in the source, but there's an asymmetry favoring the attackers. They only have to find one exploit once. The defenders have to be perfect all the time.

I wonder if it was just a start up issue? Some kind of initial scan of your database?

But it's not though. The root of the problem is politics, and the root of that problem is self -interest.

Yeah agreed. I switched to kde from gnome a few months back, and it's amazing how much better it's been in a thousand little ways.

When I'm working in git, I always start work by creating a new branch with a name. Sometimes the branch becomes something different as I work and then I might rename it or more often just keep a stale name around. But in git commit des

Code review is about getting a team on the same page more broadly. The question posed in the article -- whether the change should be part of the product -- is certainly part of that. It's important to have a shared understanding on a t

"just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I always automate my repo setup, usually with mise tasks, but there's often assumptions baked in, eg around which ports the app will listen on. It's also still hard to get the
