This is something I often think about — if I understood you correctly. It sounds like an evolution of Gopher, with predefined structures for navigation, documents, and media. When we browse, we care more about the content than the presentat

Anecdote time. Years ago, I used to use yt-dlp to archive videos I'd like to keep forever. I had a few terabytes of videos, some of which didn't even exist on YouTube anymore. Then, one day, my hard drive suddenly died. I lost ev

> why would you expect a commercial company to give you containers for free Because they did. But you're right—they have no obligation to continue doing so. Now that you mention it, it also reminds me that GitHub has no such obligat

My layman’s understanding, based solely on the quote you cited, is that it criticizes books for not providing proper instruction — being just pupils, readers need a tutor. The only way this could relate to programming libraries being reused

You're right. I just checked the example project now and it's been updated hourly since then. It's just slightly delayed.

Edit to the other comment: the cron job wasn't being triggered at first, but turns out it's just slightly delayed. The example has been updated hourly since then. You can use a schedule trigger [1] on GitHub Actions. The whole gis

I attempted to implement the schedule trigger [1] on GitHub Actions as an example, but it is not being triggered as I expected. It needs more digging if you're so inclined. Aside from that, the whole gist is that the initial data can b

At this point, you could create short videos with relevant images and accompanying audio, post them on TikTok, and profit.

I think Github Actions could be used for scheduled builds, so that the initial load would have random articles right in. Further requests could then be made in advance so users would not notice any delay from the API.

I checked the website and, at least at the combo box on the landing page, it already has the language name! I guess that you could just go without the flag there, and it'd still work. I'm curious though, what flag would you use fo

Google Translator lists languages' names, and the list is pretty reasonable. I'm confident that designers could make it work even on interfaces where the language is a more subtle option.

A for loop and other syntax keywords are barely the only English people have to understand in programming. One could say that these could just as well be arbitrary symbols, and programmers would just memorize them. But think of all the conc

I’d love to see that implemented, yes, but it would be even better if all cars' speed were automatically limited to the speed limit of each road.

Assuming that your parents die separately, you being there will make it easier for the other parent still alive. The same goes for their relatives and friends attending the funeral. There's some comfort in seeing that the person was lo

If the company has enough people in the team, someone just works the night shifts or on scheduled weekends. No one needs to be on-call because there would be someone taking care of it already.

One advantage of vanilla JavaScript is its long-term stability. A developer can often revisit code written years ago, make a quick tweak to add a feature, and move on. It will probably feel as familiar and straightforward as it did back the

You could implement automatic saves on each change then, instead of regular intervals. You can also have a toggle, enabled by default, I guess, so the elderlies will have the option to make it like the good old times.
