I was able to remove babel few weeks ago in one of my projects when webpack started to support class properties natively. The project in question only supports evergreen browsers. So nice to have super simple build config. I have nothing ag

I don't know what the situation is with the C++ development. But in general, based on my experience on standardization work, it's really hard to stop a committee from inventing new features when the members get paid to participate

I hope too it can keep following the rover for some time. Hardest part might be to alter Perseverance's schedule accordingly I guess. Additional data transfers need to be planned. Preferably Perseverance needs to take some images duri

My guess is that they prefer to sell more than one device to everybody, so not anytime soon. Really interested to hear Apple’s excuse not allowing to run MacOS on M1 iPad pro with an external monitor and keyboard. The standard "optimiz

Is it too optimistic to hope that flights will keep the solar panels clean and Ingenuity could follow the rover some months.

There is indeed some contradiction in concluding that your situation is a special enough to write an article about it to New York magazine and then say in the article that "At this point in my life, nothing is going to change"

Got the similar feeling. At least the author is not far yet with her thinking process. If it's 6 million after taxes, there are so many possibilities. No mention of considering stop working and doing what she truly likes to do.

Detecting mining jobs sounds like an interesting engineering challenge. Kernel has an OOM-killer, could it have a mining algorithm detector and killer too? Something that is hard to bypass. Detecting them while they are running would be the

Easy to see now that a lightly constructed five story cube might not be a fully fire proof.

If I had to bet, I'd say Bezos's wealth won't increase today. Amazon is -2.35% in pre-market right now. He will instead probably lose more than any of us has ever made. I get the idea of the counter but it gives a little too

It helps to think that odds for not selling during the first peak are quite close to 0%, at least for me. Other outcome would have meant very stressful last years.

I've been wondering this myself too. Lockdowns are so expensive that I'd assume every unconventional method to expand the production is taken into use. The situation is bad but not so bad that competitors could be forced to work t

Apple rules state that the app needs to show the prompt if it does tracking based on any id. As far I know you can't avoid it by using logged-in user id or email. Technically yes, but not without breaking the rules set by Apple. "

I live in Europe and decided to buy an apartment from a building that has been constructed in 1936. Brick walls are about 2ft thick, no issues with the neighbor noise. Still happy with my choice. I think it's the same everywhere. Const

I've wondered about this too. 5G is a marketing and umbrella term. Is it the new radio protocol, MIMO enhancements, new bands, or something else these people are actually afraid of?

This can easily be a monthly plan that runs several years. In that case doesn't make a big difference in his long term income.

Native Array.isArray was added to IE9 and Chrome 5, meaning totally obsolete node v0.8 supports it. Hard to imagine who really needs the library in 2020. https://caniuse.com/?search=isArray

I had a summer job in 2001 which included helping the newsmaster at one of the biggest ISP at the time in Finland. If I remember correctly, there was a dedicated satellite dish to get the full newsfeed from some specialised newsfeed operato

The article should have explained this in little more detail. Does he have a 2005 phone, probably Nokia Symbian? Or does he actually remember something and can use android or iphone. In the first case, a written note in his own handwriting

yes, it's easy to see they are at least somewhat frustrated because of not getting more details about what happened from CenturyLink. I think that's understandable.

This lead me to think that there are huge amount of legacy HTML functionality that Electron could potentially drop if it was possible. Electron doesn't really need to care about breaking the web. So there's definitely room for alt

Maybe shorting wouldn't have been needed. Just buy from the dip and trust that the stock recovers when twitter confirms hacking. But requires a lot of cash that the attacker probably doesn't have.
