Try asking this question to an LLM. (No, seriously.) Or to a search engine: https://share.google/dTJmGU38xw0kDSJlZ

Despite the fact that HTMX is a good solution in many cases, it's not the best solution in all cases. Ditto for React, and for any technology actually. Planning and consideration are always required, if you care about the end result.

Halving the fuel consumption may be worth the trouble with all above. Novel things always look unviable. First cars, first planes, first EVs all looked like dubious gimmicks sorely lacking the required infrastructure.

The fact that certain aspects of work feel enjoyable is also not random. It usually indicates an elevated level of fitness for the job, a higher chance of success for a given phenotype / genotype. I can imagine that Mr Ludd had been en

Cost of replacement? Cost of insurance against a fire? Cold weather performance may also be quite important, and not only somewhere in Alaska, but even in places like Dallas, that are hot in summer but cold during winter nights.

Food is not meant to be enjoyable, it's meant to nourish. But by a fortunate coincidence it may also be tasty. Now imagine replacing ice cream, or steak, or fresh berries, or whatever you enjoyed eating, with something like Soylent or

The answer is positive. LEO satellites need orbital corrections every few weeks, and some, several times a week.

Won't it still be useful to have access to content posted by educated and well-meaning people without a direct commercial intent? The ancient original filter (access from universities) is long gone, and both low-content posts (a minor

I envy (or maybe feel for) the longevity of those who see the Mongol Empire, the Roman Empire, the Babylonian Empire as recent events.

IOW, it was also technically hard for Sony to launch the original Walkman, but they overcame the difficulties, because they expected a huge market success (which followed). Now the product would be niche, and what had been originally buil

There are no way to name most problems both compactly and descriptively. The inability to attach an acceptably descriptive moniker to a problem leads to calling the problems (and solutions, theorems, etc) after the author.

So, it's like an aquarium, only in space. You sit and watch, and sometimes maybe move rocks around, or even introduce new species.

The scoop: X-ray imaging of various strictures for scientific purposes produces colossal reams of data, previously hard to analyze. Meta provides machine analysis, both segmentation and classification, using unsupervised learning models. &g

In must be noted that it should parse as (avoid (success at all costs)), not (avoid success)(at all costs). That is, losing integrity for the sake of success is what's to be avoided, not success itself.

The idea is good, but why limit it to a professional headshot? With approximately the same amount of effort / compute the portrait can be put into a large number of circumstances where people enjoy being portrayed: backpacking in a for

As I said, the law is the problem. Since the law demands to track and investigate ladies suspected of destruction of embryos inside their own bodies, the police's direct job is to do just that, even to the detriment of other activities

It depends on the speed of change though. If a million-strong industry collapses overnight, it can lead to really painful social disturbances. If it winds down in 10 years, the transition can be much more smooth. BTW see also https:/&

Centralization offers efficiency gains, else it won't happen. Your imaginary company in South Korea likely makes a million horseshoes employing only 1000 people, and the horseshoes are good quality, and the price is like 5% of the pric

Dark mode is great if you want to have many distinct colors on the dark background, like syntax highlighting. For monochrome, light background and dark text work better.

Image generation, I suppose. That is, I expect this to not be just a gamma correction.

Why not C++: build system(s), stdlib, modularity (though C++20 has modules, who uses them?), presence of UD. Better languages don't carry the unfortunate baggage of 1970s which C++ needs to be compatible with.

C++ is like PHP: it used to be a terrible language, and you can still reach for everything terrible if you wish. But during last maybe 10 years, C++ made a lot of effort to become a language with fewer footguns and more safe, high-level too

Go is not a better C, in the sense that you cannot write an OS with it. Runtime, GC, etc. But Go is a better language for many programs that were often written in C: network servers, CLI utilities, TUI utilities, etc.

Doing something that's interesting or cool without claiming any pragmatic use is usually called art. This could more readily be seen as an art project.
