eh, you're cool, don't worry about the naysayers While yea it is nice to directly deliver to HTML (I've done it many times), reality is most UI is in other framework languages. Plus I think a strong use-case is making output

I would guess the 20 year 'tax break' (AKA the other taxpayers are footing the bill) is the real reason for the building. shell game Meta built a data center in North Kansas City. I'm not sure details of their break (Mayor

Oh, there are lots of things you can do 'on edge' that can be easier/faster: + A/B testing + cookie warnings just for EU but not everyone else + proxy; helpful if you want to hide where your API is from or username/

Cloudflare had only 100 PoPs just a few years ago. Bunny has been around 10 years, but didn't get the cash injection from Google like Cloudflare did. If you read the article, Bunny uses Deno, CF uses a cut down version of Chromeium (e

I think you can also screenshot full length in Chrome-based browsers; do both desktop & mobile widths. It would be a good backup for the backup, & you designer will thank you.

Thanks for helping to highlight how hard it is to track cloned/fake images. BTW I guess 'watermarks' can be easily scrambled; add noise, filters, &/or recompress into another image format (eg JPEG -> AVIF).

"Non profit" in USA are still very much profit-driven; only stipulations are: + must have a board + give away 30%+ of earnings (easily done by attaching a value to the OSS free installs & handling issues w/o billing)

Or actual photos of Clinton at a certain island that are real but called deep fakes? I thought of a Scifi series years ago where puppeteers could force politicians say anything they wanted just by the threat of a deep fake.

Alt reason why "Apple continues to support old hardware": If some people found out that they NEED to get a new phone every 2 years that costs $1,000, then they might look to another cell phone manufacturer. I'm sure the store

But like Windows having IE/Edge installed by default (& being sued for it), Google Play is the default store for Android, & 95% of public doesn't know otherwise.

I live in Midwest now (KS). Yea, that was true 10 years ago, but even 4G is decent in rural areas now. & there are 2-3 dish providers in some areas. + my point is, most population don't have that limited choices.

Yes, SEO advise for the past 7+ years is that 'Google likes those who are experts, so you have to have long essays to look like an expert & have longer time-on-page.'.
