   All energy policies are ideology driven, but you make it sound like nuclear isn’t ideology driven. That’s just nonsense. - Nuclear waste has non-zero cost that aren’t factored in. - Nuclear risks are externalized, not factored in. - Nuclear

   First and foremost, it’s 404. Probably a mistake, but I chuckled a bit when someone says "AI build this thing and it’s 90% there" and then posts a dead link.

   Great project! I was looking into this area too for a while. Any reasons you didn't turn this into a web component? Seems like a no-brainer if I can basically use it like `<overtype-textarea>` or something like that.

   It uses queryCommandState(), which is a deprecated browser feature [1]. It's quite common in many simpler WYSIWYG editors. Thing is, it might be so widespread that some people claim that it will never be truly deprecated. OverType does

   I can type text, mark it, click "B" for bold and it works. This is WYSIWYG minus images.

   Please stop repeating this nonsense. The GDPR never mentioned cookie banners. This is the industry‘s shitty solution to forcing users to consent with tracking. You can run a perfectly fine website with zero cookie banners if you simply don’

    You gotta clarify what "take care of your teeth afterwards" means, because brushing your teeth after eating lemons is the worst thing you can do. Best thing is to do absolutely nothing.

    I have zero pity. Zero. Because what kind of metric is this? - Google is invented and brings lots of traffic to publishers for many years. - Publishers drink from the firehose, getting used to a lot of traffic. To get even more traffic, qua

    I don’t use Ecosia, because their marketing messages always have been somewhat deceitful. They claimed "plant tree with your searches", but in reality, if you didn’t click on ads, nothing gets planted.

    Dentistry has changed in the last decades. If a dentist refuses to use useful computer things, I instantly wonder if they are also out of date with modern best practices. Better materials for infills and stuff like that.

    All good points, but: > when I saw the first letter in each sentence isn't capitalized. This is so far the most glaring signal of slop. How so? It's the exact opposite imho. Lowercase everything with a staccato writing style

    Two things that the article neglects: 1. People grow into jobs and start to like stuff they didn't expect to like when they imagined doing them before. 2. The hour-to-hour things at a job like going to a meeting depends heavily on th

    Hmm, hard to tell. On the one hand, Pieter Levels with Nomadlist also never bothered with an app. I have a B2C app that is in a niche, it started as a web app many years ago, but customer expectation is clearly in having an app. It also com

    I agree and would’ve written the same several years ago. Unfortunately, shorting is expensive and you have to get the timing right, too, not only the direction of the stock. If you’re early when shorting, you’re still wrong.

    Mobile apps do not bundle a browser. They use Chrome/Android System WebView on Android or WKWebView on iOS. Capacitor is one project that lets you build on top of installed browser engines, unlike Electron, which bundles Chrome. A new

    It's complicated. The most compelling theory is that several genes might have a bit of an influence paired with the hormonal conditions in the womb. Here's an overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetic

    Several factors are at play here, which are somewhat contradictive: 1. Publishers feel entitled to traffic, because Google send them traffic in recent years. See [1] for example: > "Google's core search engine service is misus

    Did you have the flu (influenza) or a cold? Because I had influenza once and couldn’t even walk from bed to the kitchen. I’m asking, because in German, many people call a regular cold a flu here. But the chance to catch real influenza is li

    Are we talking US or world-wide? Because Tesla figures are world-wide. According to the article of this HN thread, Tesla doesn't provide per-country numbers. Your [2] seems to be BMW US. [1] is paywalled.
