If you use Svelte with Sapper, you will get the "best of both worlds". The first page you hit has the content baked into the HTML, and all subsequent content "pages" load like a single page app. [1] https://sa

It's probably just simpler to administer if it's just universal vs having layers of red tape to manage and police it. You're never going to get 100% of it put back in the economy immediately, but I think a very large percenta

My understanding is that Rudy Gobert (who felt he was well enough to play) was in the team hotel, not at the arena. In any case, that's moot, as Donovan Mitchell, who also tested positive, was at the arena and ready to play.

The startups I worked in around that time - we were using recent hardware with 4 digit years and unconcerned about Y2K issues. So while we were -aware- of the Y2K issue, it didn't impact any of us in a concrete fashion. We would talk a

I guess I have a different perception. If you were trying to produce code in the 90s using two digit years, the weird looks had less to do with Y2K than "why would you save incomplete data to save a couple of bytes"? For context,

Apparently there is big money (and lobbying) in wildlife markets in China, so I have my doubts.

Aren't SARS and COVID suspected to be the result of viruses jumping species in wet markets that sell wildlife? If that is true, I'm not sure you can just say "it happens", as the wet market environments are man-made. [1]

I'm a user in tech who uses Edge with Google Docs. I don't use the offline feature, so to me, the user experience is no different than it was with Chrome.

Edge's ability to convert any site to a PWA is pretty awesome too. I haven't spent much time with the new Collections feature, but it appears to be useful.

That sounds like the same calculated risk they took with the early 2011 MBPs. I ran my 2011 MBP hot and it eventually bricked. The logic board "post-recall" also eventually bricked too. The Apple support thread for that issue ran

It's also important to note that not all developers have the same constraints. If your employment prospects don't depend on using the major frameworks that everyone else is using, you're probably going to choose (or even crea

I agree. The first thing I thought was that it reminds me of Svelte, which I have been using and like a lot. Like you, I'm not sure it's for me, but I also think it's interesting.
