Is the implication here that we should wait another 3,500 years for our reservoirs to return to their former peak levels? I'm not sure that trends from a geological time scale are helpful in current public policy debates on natural res

Wow, a lot of misunderstanding of what Deno is and how it works in these comments! Must be frustrating for you. I'm a huge fan of runtimes that reduce boilerplate and configuration, so that's what makes me most interested in Deno.

I'm with lhorie. SSR literally is about serving strings... you're the one equating it with server-side JSX. JSX is syntactical sugar that abstracts vanilla JS which in turn renders strings. Rendering HTML on the server has always

Cascading only works as intended if you don't have third party styles and if the styling requirements of your application never change. What's funny is that CSS itself is subject to the same problems. It was created to help people

What does it mean to "know" a word? I have heard/read most of the male words hundreds of times, and probably used them myself, but asked to define them I would be either inaccurate or unconfident. For example, I know that ail

Whenever someone presents a flow diagram to describe software or infrastructure, I pretty much panic. It always seems like everyone in the room immediately understands this kind of thing, but to me every box and line and arrow looks like sh

I agree that this would be an improvement, but I see two problems: 1) This would require law enforcement, attorneys, judges, and juries to learn how the Internet works. For most people, what a server sent is what you can see in a web page.

One way to think about this is that people should donate based on value that they've already gained from the project, not additional value that they expect in the future. That said, for an active maintainer who is currently accepting d

I don't think it's accurate to say that light is slow on any timescale. It's literally the fastest thing, no matter what scale you're on. The issue at hand, and the reason that we can make light look slow, is that we can
