In past I have used lsyncd to develop locally and synchronize the changes to a remote host over ssh where the code base was compiled. This worked nicely even over GPRS network connection with a speed like 30 Kbit/s. As the link had hig

EV promotes energy independence of a country. In the worst case they can use electricity from coal that is widely available on this planet. And as long as the coal plant is modern they still will generate less CO2 than petrol-based cars.

We have a large scale war in Europe now with Russia threatening with nukes. We have attacks by unknown actor that destroyed gas pipelines. From this one can see how the idea that somebody will bomb out a nuclear power station somewhere in E

The verbosity of TypeScript types can be attributed to poor choice of syntax and names that became obvious retrospectively. Still even with TypeScript if types makes your functions ugly, then it shows the complexity of the code. Often it al

The graveyard is outside traditional boundaries of Milky Way. So the stars there do not contribute to microlensing.

While I agree that ssh -Y requires a somewhat fast connection, VNC works at 10 MBit/s. RDP and XDPA works at 3 MBit/s. And if the speed is lower, then typically it also implies a high latency. Then I have found that running a GUI

One can run GUI editor just as well either directly via ssh -Y or via VNC. So this is not an argument for a terminal editor.

Destroying the pipeline made perfect sense since otherwise Russian Gasprom would be required to pay a heavy fine for not delivering the minimal amount of gas stated in the contract. Sabotage that cannot be proved cancels that.

From an end-user point of view rendering engines are mostly indistinguishable. On the other hand the whole UI and speed of loading of pages are very much noticeable and this a developer can directly control. Note I agree that what Apple doe

Apple only forbids alternative rendering engines, one can still use own networking stack. This alone allows to differentiate a browser a lot especially regarding ad blocking.

If one wants a view for the whole page, then using a programming language with a good support for embedding strings will be a better solution as it avoids the need to learn one more language.
