I once worked with a guy who had standards and a good handle on the disappointing gap between concept and reality and even he said to me “that’s your problem John, you’re always trying to change things”. A few months later he quit.

For a div, fit-content is already defined as the width of the longest word - that is the minimal intrinsic width of the content. Not amazingly useful, but it can’t be changed without breaking existing pages. The meaning of content width get

This claim makes zero sense. The Russians had already withdrawn their army so the opportunity to trap them was nil. Not only that but any future opportunity to trap them was also lost. Meanwhile the Russians got a free moat at a crucial mom

So if the founder goes on TV and announces their merger then it’s nonpublic information until they file the form? Everyone who trades on that is insider trading? That can’t be right.

If the Boeing 737 MAX nicely demonstrates why this is an awful idea.

How was the synthetic data generator trained?

This is something that never gets old to me - seeing other experienced devs playing guessing games instead of instrumenting the problem thing and walking through it step by step. That’s not to say that you can’t guess the first, or second p

I don’t know - there’s real impact and then there’s inconsequential path dependency. This feels like the latter. The networks turned out to be valuable but LISP did not.

Early humans were nomadic. They had no need to stay in the same place year-round. Just follow the animals.

At first glance I thought you were off by a factor of 4x, as 100gal of gas weighs around 1/4 ton but then I realised that the oxygen in the CO2 is coming from the atmosphere.
