All true, of course, but USSR had wine regions just the same, they just weren't in Poland. This was a surprise for me, but apparently: > The former Soviet Union (FSU) was the fourth largest wine producer in the world in 1980 behind

Agreed. I'm working on some hardware that I intend to open source and prepare a ZIP with all the files necessary to order your own boards from some place like JLCPCB that also does assembly. For the user it's a matter of dragging

This is what's happening with open source hardware. For example, VESC and ODrive both quickly had knockoffs in all the usual places. The maintainers were somewhat understandably irked by this, but if you ask me it's exactly what s

That's a fun one: > The Court decided that Filburn's wheat-growing activities reduced the amount of wheat he would buy for animal feed on the open market, which is traded nationally, is thus interstate, and is therefore within

To replace C-style strings you only need the length! You also get cheap substrings which is such a common operation that it alone IMO makes it worth taking this route.

I don't think so. Once a function is compiled, it basically becomes a black box with a type signature so unless sleeping in a function affects its signature, that information is erased. If you pass in some kind of a sleep token that ha

We don't even need to look at other industries. It's demonstrably not the case for professional software developers at the moment. The companies are simply doing whatever is in their best interest which is retaining expensive and

I think we can wait to argue about who gets the space resources until we can reliably get to space. Currently the resource being exploited by the "charlatans" is pretty views from upper atmosphere. As long as they don't leave

At this point any kind of business that does repeatable and sustainable space flights is good, is even if it's for the entertainment of the billionaires. Slowly and surely the process will get improved and the cost will go down and may

Yep, I just looked it up and it does indeed say that, at least for the 2016 version when all of these features were introduced. Fine! Carry on applying your maps to your non-Arrays! Personally I think Array.of($nodeList).map(…) should be gu

You should forget about that too. It's applying a function from one object to something else that it wasn't designed for. It happens to work in this case because $nodeList and Arrays are both array-like, but that's a lucky ha

Interpreters are considered elegant, too. For example, Lua is a great little language and it runs everywhere precisely because it's interpreted.

Just for the babies. The babies stay in a little bubble with the correct atmosphere and it's a big party when they come out the first time!

How about keeping the query as a separate, importable .sql file that can be analyzed by a tool and it could spit out the typings to a .sql.d.ts file? The editor support for mixing languages in a single file was not great, last time I checke

I think the distinguishing difference between conduction in a fluid and convection is that the fluid "leaves" and takes away the heat.

Agreed. It's unsubstantiated, cynical and I think meant to provoke a reaction and say something about the poster (it does). Downvote and move on.

Look, something I’m finally qualified to answer! At my previous job our customers were a representative sample of the Fortune 500 and about 40% of our users (their employees) were on IE11 just a few months ago. There were some very well kno

You can do it, but it’s not done commonly. The most common way ads get onto the page is by including a third party script which is easily blocked.

You can't have interactive elements inside anchor tags. Very often the box will have some additional buttons for different actions, like "Save for later". I like the approach of using an anchor tag just for the title and have

Why would you have notifications turned on for Twitter? Just turn them off. The trick is to intentionally go on social media and waste time, instead of being pulled in by a notification.
