Maybe by the manufacturers, but I doubt it; see Musk's pivot to conservative pantomime since acquiring Twitter. And Ed Markey is not exactly a conservative politician.

I've had knots thrown back at me by my planer before. That was before I upgraded to the DW735 with those power feeders and a much deeper body to keep the cutters further away from the human, though. I have a reasonably safe checklist a

Planers aren't so bad once you get into power feeders, which can be gotten as cheap as $500 with a DW735. (Yeah you can get a power feeder for a table saw too; it's $500 and more like $1500 just for the feeder!) The others: very,

I'm frequently thankful that I had the sense in my twenties to start using a standing desk. I hear of a lot of back problems in my mid-thirties developer cohort. My hands get tired when I do a lot of typing (these days much more on S

This is one of the downsides of systemd from a community perspective--it's not that it doesn't work; it largely has, and has consistently, for most people and most distros who've adopted it pretty much since the jump! But the

That's fair! I've looked long and hard at the Chevy Bolt in the past, but I think other car models have surpassed it.

Generally speaking, I wouldn't use branded inputs for libraries . Branded types make a lot more sense to me when working in business-logic cases, to identify data at the edge of a bounded context and tracing through the system. A libr

I've been looking at ProseMirror (mostly through tiptap2, which seems to wrangle it effectively) but taking the jump is daunting. I'd be interested in others' experiences.

I've used Quill before, but I have Editor.js, Slate, and Tiptap2 on my to-do list to check out, probably for similar reasons as yours.

Quill's an extremely well-known JavaScript rich text editing control, not an "app". Were you confused by the example at the top of the landing page? Your friend might not have heard of it, but I'd be more surprised if Mi

Not defending NextJS, I'm pretty out on it myself, but ISG requires a server to run. It pregenerates static content for defined pages and serves that until revalidating. If you've built a fully static bundle, nothing exists that w

I don't understand the motivation behind such a question. We sell cars because the benefits to motor transportation outweigh the safety risks in aggregate. That aggregate tradeoff is nonresponsive to the singular case of YOLOing av
