While there are infinite arguments to be made about individual diets, literally no one can do wrong by heavily cutting refined sugar intake.

I run Qwen3-Coder-Next-UD-Q4_K_XL and other than the initial wait to initialise context (which takes less than 2 minutes) subsequent prompts return in less than a minute, usually less than 30s. If your performance is significantly slower th

Leaving aside the fact that there are not enough octogenarians in the Commons to pass any legislation, there’s no need to for ageist statements like that.

Not really, more like succeed without having to do anything. The key is the perspective of what success is: it’s the state where the resource does not exist, or is the action having deleted the resource. But 200/202 is perfectly capabl

> Then you'd return 202 on a request to delete any invalid element, which really doesn't sound right It depends on your use-case if you care about this or not. If you do care you will have to handle it either way somehow. But i

Response is implementation detail: a 404 on second request is one way to do it, a 202 would be another, or 200 with some sort of response to distinguish (e.g. { changed: boolean }). Idempotency just means no state mutation on subsequent req

You’re right - it’s not a campaign as such - it’s a set of scenarios (currently 22) in increasing difficulty. I haven’t played for a while after getting stuck but checking now I got stuck on the 5th scenario - even worse than I thought. :)

I used to play the original TA a lot and BAR is very well done. Much harder than the original though - I had no trouble with TA campaigns but I have not even made it halfway with BAR before hitting skill wall. Not a teen anymore so it’s har

I mean there’s nothing stopping you from committing node_modules to git (after running something like https://github.com/timoxley/cruft on it) and reviewing code changes on dependency updates. I even managed to make th

I came across this interesting rant the other day: https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets.js/blob/master/mi... It does make sense that the right way would be to fork every dependency you use and inst

It’s not the async loop - it’s interfacing with the system. JS is designed to run in a sandbox and the only way out in say Node.js is to write C++ addons. For example you don’t get to see TCP headers with Node out of the box and you can’t c

I am well aware it supports Linux but the vast majority of work still involves being in Windows-only shops which is a circle of hell I am keen to tread only when I absolutely have to. :)

Sure but that runtime is much more general purpose - JS runtimes are focused on network apps. For example you can write an app like Calibre in Python and QT and it is much lighter than writing something with JS and Electron. Python is easie

I’m a JS/TS dev (and fan) I don’t think either is a replacement for Python. They are not standalone languages but require some runtime to interact with the world (DOM or Node.js etc) which have limited capabilities for interacting with

An interesting tangent on this is: how many answers to these (or any number of factual questions) do you (as in anyone) actually know. Not believe you know, but actually know. Knowing something is different to reading about something, or he

I led a project to (successfully) migrate a Vue 2 to 3 app and while that was painful and expensive, I still find Vue more pleasant to work with than React once it was done. But TBH depending one team code discipline either could be fine or

If by tourist track you mean several cities each with a population count greater than London then sure. :) But it is true I was there as a tourist to see a few places and China is an absolutely huge place. I wish the touristy places in the

I’m currently travelling in China and the total absence of graffiti and the wide availability of public toilets as well as the general cleanliness of the place is a stark contrast to London. I am somewhat dreading that part when I return.

It is a specialised instrument but a useful one: batch processing and query pagination are first class use cases for generators that can really simplify business logic code. Stream processing is another and in fact Node.js streams have had

That is a good question - my personal opinion is that it should mean that models are not subject to copyright at all (similar to databases) but we will see what the courts decide :)

In mind, if you feed code into an AI model then the output is clearly a derivative work, with all the licensing implications. This seems objectively reasonable?

I have to say I am not a fan of doing this on the client side. API gateways (which is what server side load-balancer can be abstracted as) serve as important control points for service traffic, for example for auth, monitoring and observabi
