Hah, but galaxies are one of the few things where "massive" in the original sense of the word is appropriate. The article is about galaxies that are more massive than expected.

I've used Mypy since 2016 on big as well as small codebases, and it has been extremely useful for me. It caught numerous bugs at typecheck time. The benefits of better readability and e.g. better jump to definition and autocomplete are

In this case it's overkill, if you don't enable javascript, the entire article is perfectly readable, including images, and without cookiewall or paywall.

Yes, the process is called deconvolution, and it works even better than trying to bruteforce the input image of pixelated text.

For what it's worth, SQLite's documentation is one of the best among all software I've ever used. It's clear, detailed, well-organized, and everything is documented.

I'd love to see this tested at the Fan Showdown [1], it's a youtuber who 3d-prints user-submitted fan designs. Or given that the article is from 2020, maybe it was tested already. [1]: https://youtube.com/@MajorHar

The section of the system man pages. It's often used to disambiguate a tool from a libc function, when there are two manpages with the same name, but in different sections.

Nothing stops you from disabling javascript by default already; I do it for security reasons. A nice side effect is that many cookiewalls disappear too.

For an editor, maybe, for the files that you mount. But when e.g. a language server or IDE is involved, they need access to the tools that are now only inside the container. And then there's the shell itself, your shell history, etc.

It's not just about system time, it's about unpinned dependencies on external things. E.g. if you run apt update, after a package is updated upstream, it may install a newer version.
