It's reasonable, but unethical, for taxation opponents to keep the process as painful as possible until they get what they want, which is the elimination of income tax.

Indeed, but there are ways around that. Check out fontsource (e.g. `npm install @fontsource-variable/roboto-flex`) to add fonts as a locally hosted dependency.

Seems good! I really like the ability to combine CommonJS and ESM modules, and the built-in file-watcher. My reluctance is two-fold: nodejs is still dominant and mainstream, and Bun is VC funded which, as others have mentioned, doesn't

I'm confused why they waited to patch this vulnerability until it was found in the wild. Or am I misunderstanding? Is this not the same NSO zero click exploit from like a year ago?

I was expecting this response, and let me say: it fills me with distaste. You cut off any possibility of improvement, on their part, because no matter what they do, you won't accept it. It is the opposite of constructive criticism: it

I use Chrome in development on a Windows box. Here is my experience with this upgrade: 1. Upgraded manually from 116.0.5845.179 to 116.0.5845.180 through About dialog. 2. Restart. No notification that anything has changed. 3. Go

I like this articulation. I might modify it slightly because you have, in turn, implied that posters are gaslighting the reader. When, in fact, they are merely exposing a defense mechanism. They say that every pessimist is a dissappointed o

You can achieve the same goal, if not so elegantly, if you define a node process that processes HTTP POSTs by evaling the body of the request to replace the previous handling function. In practice you'd quickly want to post a function

The termites evolved that coloration for a reason, perhaps to avoid predators. It stands to reason that the beetle would also evolve avoid predators in the same way. That is, the mimic has two audiences: the termites, and the termites'

Why ban e2ee when you could just pass a law giving LEO's the right to passively turn on any mic or camera or look through photos and messages on any smartphone at any time? I mean, how can they keep people safe without that access? Thi

Great idea, but it does require a private dining room. This wouldn't work in a public space, like a restaurant, for the simple reason that "the Jefferson" cannot control attendance. To put it bluntly, when someone breaks the

Sorry to be negative, but I think the conventions around marriage needs to be redone alongside all the other changes around marriage. To wit, the ability of a woman to divorce you and receive alimony and child support for basically the rest

Easy deployments are great, and all too rare. But feature flags are good too. It's actually a trade-off between determinism and control. No flags make the blob deterministic; flags give you control over the blob very late in its runti

This is precisely what a senior does for a junior: review their code. Not just for it's ability to run, but what resources it uses, which resources can be trusted, and what other resources are available. That's what makes the expe

ChatGPT is a junior programmer who knows everything and can do shallow things (like this) instantly . I'm not sure it will ever be a really good programmer, but having such a junior dev at your fingertips feels like a superpower. Th

History is driven by theory tempered by pragmatism. The market cannot set its own rules, and standardization helps markets thrive by reducing the risk to the participants. It sounds like you've recently read Ayn Rand, so perhaps you&#x

If you live an unusual life, you may need unusual tools. Also, there's probably more than a little low-key play acting, like when a normie wears "aviator" sunglasses. When I was a young kid, maybe 8, and home alone, I walked

I find it interesting that 2 of 3 comments mention the word "love" because I was going to post "I love this so much!". There's something magical about such found objects, and is a big reason I still have a huge, unw

It's not proof, but it's telling: it's the same reason sales tax is not included in the price of an item, unlike VAT in Europe. They want you to know how much you're paying. This happens in other spheres. Two that come t

I think this ignores the complexity cost on the consumer. If every product has a different set of rules, the consumer will not be able to know them or follow them. This is already a big problem with long and unique EULAs for software. This

Rather than us fighting for the right to repair, shouldn't manufacturers be fighting for the right to limit our ability to repair? Isn't "right to repair" the default state? The right to repair, modify, disassemble, reco

"The lyrebirds’ performances are a classic example of an excessively complex trait or behavior that was likely shaped through sexual selection." One cannot help but consider humans through this same lens.

I'll never understand those who don't want to travel to space. It's an enormous universe we live in, and here we are, on one (admittedly awesome) planet. There is a great deal to learn, and many adventures to be had! Note tha
