And many cups of coffee either taste bad or are bad for health, yet those customers still pay for those options and throw the cup away afterward. It's worth noting those cups of coffee typically cost more than $1.

There's no reason to trust Apple. Numerous reasons to be on guard about any assumption relating to this company. From fading and variable service, quality of deliverables, security oversights, repair relationships and one sided contrac

Why server side rendering? Content that needs rendering just put in the tree and target a slot. My perception was this is the best practice. I haven't used the lit included intl translation and am curious if and how these concerns work

Great to see Deno going from good to better and better steadily over the past year. It is such a pleasure when compared with Nodejs projects. Always appreciate products that make life easier.

The Fed could possibly buy TSM and provide loan and grants to TSMC to accelerate their plant in Phoenix. I don't know how much that would impact the projected 2024 start of operations. https://www.bizjournals.com/phoeni

Apple and much US associated supply chains have already been moving away from China. Media is regularly coming up where the side effects are reported, for example the Foxconn contractor in India. The US lacks the infrastructure to leverage

I'm very curious to see what happens to Intel. When the TSMC Arizona plant comes online in 2024 or sooner there doesn't seem to be much left for it to do that AMD and others are already doing more effectively. Perhaps that's

Deno is the likely final, last stop and resting place for most anything web related to this type of tooling. It includes about anything that is the kitchen sink and swiss army knife of the space. For anyone who wants to simplify their life,

If it costs less than or equal to $10USD and works I'm all good with it. Please also include the common flu-types, HepC, HIV, etc at the same price point as well. We can move on to other things and ideally all be a little more producti
