Interesting... I wonder if these moves (using mRNA for malaria and creating a mRNA lab/factory on the African continent) can be seen as Biontech doing something for poorer countries after Biden said he would release the patents for the

The mechanism is also interesting. It uses a worm drive which, I imagine, would to lock the steering angle in place, and offer precise steering (at the cost of fast steering like you say).

Is this the correct list? The document at https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/PV-9-2021-07-0... seems to list votes for multiple proposals. AFAICT, the voting list for this proposal starts on page 5: Use

Is this extension trustworthy? It is "recommended" and says GPL3 but there is no link to the source code anywhere.

Granted that the DOM event API feels clunky, but I actually think they got things mostly right: - low-level storage primitive with support for indices, "you pay only for what you use". - very fast if used in the right way - ver

One reason is that it allows to run the same code in the browser and in node without any transpilation.

I can relate, and agree front-end frameworks and tooling feel overly complicated. The good news is that there is another way. It's completely feasible to develop without any tooling but a static web server and a browser nowadays. Just

I share the frustration with everything moving to slow and bloaty electron apps. But wrt to electron apps and using web technology instead of native frameworks, I think it depends a lot as well how well the web code is designed. I've b

True, cars are very bad for climate change as well. I think that the reason people focus on airplanes is that they tend to take you a lot further. Almost nobody flies for a 100km trip, like very few people undertake a 10.000km car trip.

The co2 numbers don't seem to take radiative forcing [1] into account, so the actual total climate impact would be 2-4 times the numbers mentioned in the article. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impa

I think you can get pretty close to the comfort of JSX with plain JS, without needing a preprocessor. Local development is so much nicer without webpack, babel, source maps, ... I've been trying trying this out [1] with a thin 300-line

ES modules with relative URLs have shipped in browsers, and when import maps [1] land, it could become viable to not bundle or transpile for local development and only do so for production builds. 1: https://github.com/WICG&

I hope/suspect transpilation will not be a given any more in the future. In that scenario, it's good to have alternatives to JSX.
