Sure, depending on how you interpret initial development . FastAPI has 60k stars on GitHub, has been extremely popular for at least four years, and is widely used in production by a lot of people. It's the maintainers' decision w

It's also explicitly against OpenAI's branding guidelines and will potentially infringe on the GPT trademark if that gets approved. I would have expected Salesforce to be conservative about that considering they're more depen

I think you're spot on about the role of tips and inflation. The article brings up patrons saving on marked up alcoholic beverages, but fails to mention the rise in expected tip percentages driven by larger defaults in point-of-sale sy

There's also a technique for lucid dreaming where you make a point to look carefully at your hands throughout the day until it becomes an unconscious habit. The idea is that they won't look quite right in a dream, and you'll

I would add startups to the list in addition to the more explicitly negative groups that you mention. There's a tremendous amount of both reputational risk and technical/organizational inertia to overcome in Amazon overhauling Ale

Jokes aside, this is a actually a pretty common scenario for some people, and I wrote a tool called Exodus to solve it [1]. Exodus makes it trivial to relocate Linux binaries like jq from your local machine [1]. You can simply run exo

If you're passing the callback as a prop to a child component, then it will cause that component to be re-rendered every time the parent component renders unless you memoize the callback. This happens because React checks referential i

Not in classical thermodynamics, but temperatures above the Planck temperature aren't understood with current quantum models. It would probably require a theory of quantum gravity to shed further light on this.

If you use an Arch-based distro, it's available in the Arch User Repository (AUR) [1]. With Aura [2], installation is as simple as: aura -A radarr Yes, you need to use the CLI to run that, but it's trivial to do so and a

Lactase is the main way that people digest lactose and it's produced by human intestinal epithelial cells rather than bacteria. It seems plausible that a bacteria to digest lactose could serve a similar role, but I don't think tha

You usually can't detect them other than running the program and watching it die, or running the program with strace and looking for the files it's trying to stat/open. You can actually pipe the output of strace into exodus

I'm the author and I agree that you're correct in assuming that what you ran should work. I just tested this with git on arch and I was able to reproduce the issue. I'll look into why this is happening and hopefully push up a

I hope you're right about Firefox. I think their hand is forced in terms of supporting any API additions that Google makes because of Chrome's dominance among extension developers, but they can choose to maintain support for the m
