To be clear: I was asking for data about relative frequencies of accidents with varying tools, not about risks from table saws. But yes, those are all risks. Additionally, like most tools a poorly maintained table saw is more dangerous. The

My dad was a machinist when he was younger. My siblings and I grew up with a well-equipped home shop, including a table saw, a drill press, a milling machine, and my dad's pride and joy: a two ton metal lathe. He drilled into us the im

I would love if someone could chime in with actual statistics here, but I've always heard that table saws are the most dangerous common power tool in the US by raw injury count alone. I have a weak assumption that more people have circ

Thanks for the thorough reply! I confess I wasn't thinking about a particular build tool. My recent experience has been with Vite, where I took a similar approach to what you describe, but haven't had to dig deep into bundle perfo

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your question but why would you want a single bundle vs multiple bundles? If you have a single blob you have to invalidate the whole thing when it updates. If you split your code out into multiple bundles you can

To anyone reading this now and thinking, “299,792,458 m/s is the speed of light!”: stairlane’s comment originally gave 299,456,352 m/s as the speed of light. Unfortunately they’ve since edited it to the correct value, thus ruin

Yep. The utility had gotten reports of gas leaks on that street previously and didn’t fix it.

I can imagine it being different in a city. I'm in a fairly quiet suburban area. One time I heard a loud boom. A few hours later I saw a neighbor outside and asked if he'd heard it and if he knew what it was. He told me a house a
