I’ve never worked with SmallTalk professionally, so I could be mistaken. I know you can write/compile SmallTalk source code. But my understanding is that this wasn’t the way it’s intended to be used. I am under the impression that the

I’ve very slowly been trying to do the “99 problems” list in each of these languages groups. It’s been a fun experience seeing the differences. Though I think I would need a larger, less algorithmic, project to really see each group’s stren

How big of an install are you looking to do? I just did a ground mount install on my property. (4kw panels, 5kwh battery) If you are good with your hands, and can follow instructions then I would recommend you do the work your self. The act

Kind of a weird headline. It makes it sound like this just happened. But it happened almost 2 years ago. Reading the article is also a bit confusing. I finally figured out they are only referring to utility scale solar and not total solar

Uber does offer a similar setting in some markets. It took a while to roll out in the US because of legal uncertainties. So Uber waited until the feds gave them a promise that no action would be taken related to offering a “women only” or

If you’re using Alpine already, then is there a good reason to use HTMX over alpine Ajax? They both look quite similar to me, but I don’t do enough front end work to tell the difference. https://alpine-ajax.js.org/comparison

Chaos testing is such an interesting idea. At my last job we didn’t have access to any of these tools. So I made a poor man’s chaos testing library for Java and spring services. At the application level we would inject random faults into m

I am always intrigued by new SRS systems, though sadly most are just "simplified" Anki clones. I have always been tempted to throw my hat into the ring. The biggest area for improvement is probably deck collaboration. Most SRS pro

Know personally in real life? No. But there are plenty of examples of people using Anki/SRS tools for interesting things outside of school or 2nd language. I’m firmly in the camp that SRS is widely underrated and underused for working

I always had the impression that the propellant transfer was the harder question than the heat shield. They have done a transfer demo from one internal tank to another, but they still need to test from one ship to another ship. I only casua

The “regular” and “premium” label at the pump is misleading. The premium gas isn’t better. It’s just different. Unless your car specifically requires higher octane fuel, there is no benefit to paying for it. https://www.kbb.com&#

What exactly is the distinction between this and mathjax? At first glance it looks like this is a wrapper on top of mathjax, or is it something different? I guess it’s just more “natural” and less latex like. $$\sum_{i=0}^n i^2 = \frac{(n)}
