At that point, gzipped Preact is only 1k larger (and 10k smaller than htmx) and provides a pretty comprehensive and common set of solutions to the majority of front end problems compared to hand rolling everything.

It's easy to follow, it's a knee jerk tribalism reaction and not a logical or informed one. Go attracts backend or anti-frontend people so anything intermingling the two will draw out the commenters who bemoan anything that realis

Chrome's built in Lighthouse scoring fails your site on lacking sufficient contrast. Subjectively, even without vision problems, I strongly dislike your choice also.

The writing has been on the wall for the last 7 years and the LTS of JDK 25 goes until 2030, 11 years from the point Apple announced their intentions. Java for Mac apps or native Java backend development has always been niche as well. For J

When the Commander-in-Chief guts the military leadership to ensure loyalists are at the top and instates a fool as the head of the department, is it any wonder what is causing military leadership and strategy failures?

You just described the complete opposite of the StackOverflow experience.

This whole thing can be reduced to "think of the children", see the literal example around paragraph ~30. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone try so hard to equate being pro-privacy with being pro-crime.

Yeah, curious here too. Torvalds would need to pass first I think, and I just don't see other major players like RedHat, Google, Canonical, or Valve introducing this themselves or agreeing to do it in aggregate. And as end users we cou

Does it matter? A site and community that refuses to allow or accommodate anyone to grow and learn as a new user will quickly run out of users. The gatekeeping on SO is a blockade, not a teaching mechanism.

If they're benchmaxed on SVG pelicans then the outcome of that has still produced a surprisingly good generic SVG image generator. Go invent your own random alternatives and the AI models have across the board gotten better over time.

“If done correctly” applies to about everything though.

I'll take a wild guess and assume they are of a German or Polish language background. Wait 'til you encounter a French person who accidentally uses guillemets if you want one even «weirder».

Why pay for a car to drive when you have working legs? To go further, faster.

You can accomplish quite a lot with smaller local models on reasonably priced pro tier hardware (not cheap hardware, but very attainable hardware for anyone making average software engineer money). Qwen 3.6 27B and 35BA3, Gemma 28B, and so

Making the upgrades or maintaining or crafting from scratch a plugin isn't free, it costs tokens and time and attention. And you're almost assuredly reinventing a wheel that someone else already did and probably did better. I like

PFAS doesn't immediately harm you like missing a few pints of blood does. And it's not like you're concentrating higher levels of PFAS into the recipient, they likely have the same average blood concentration levels as the do

Most of the new Github bloat will just be thrown away. Vibe coding scratches an immediate itch and it's easy to do. Once the problem changes nobody is going to update the first project because that's hard, they'll just vibe c

llama was unintentionally released and has been a flash in the pan for them since. They've failed to capitalize on it at all post-v2. v3 models were a launch mess and quickly surpassed. The only thing it has left in 2026 is name recogn

Seems like the entire field of alchemy and later chemistry was precluded by a "oh wow" or "that's interesting" or "help, I can't breath", not derivations from first principals. Throwing stuff together

Their gas is priced competitively. Everything is hard to compare because it's usually not even available aty other gas stations. It's like half of a Bass Pro Shops tacked on to a bizarre bbq restaurant that lacks seating. Comparin

You can also build systems that require secondary approvals without needing approval escalation up the chain. Creeping on women is a lot less likely if you need a peer or even a subordinate to review what you're doing.

Yeah: It's a 128 year old home in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Hit it up in street view and look at the dilapidated neighborhood in the dying town it sits in, surrounded by a 50 mile radius of farm land. Unlike ancient Europe

>the best ideas float up to Codex/Claude imo They only float up if people create things like RTK and other people try them though. It's fair to sit this one out and let others figure out if it's worth it or not but tools l

Sure they will. When the real or perceived cost of addressing supply chain attacks exceeds the cost of changing tooling workflows, they will switch.

You're describing the FBI or your state level equivalent. And they actually do exactly what you are describing, but in measured efforts. I've even had them come by my place of employment before. They clearly lack the resources to

This is a real world trolley problem scenario. You can break workflows or you can let everyone get pwned by supply chain attacks. Which is the greater harm?

"Oops, we uploaded the wrong files" is the standard deflection every time people like this get caught. Look up "Reflection 70B" drama.

I'll second this, with the caveat that I've not yet tried to build anything with Fable. Every engineer can now produce things in the front end that doesn't look like complete and utter garbage, sure, but everyone is also prod

The argument seems to be that they think LLMs made the implementation languages equal or irrelevant, therefore PHP is as good as any of them now. The flip side of this argument is that PHP is not any more compelling than it was before, it&#
