Honestly I don't know why I'd want Stimulus over regular old web components if I wasn't going to use a whole library like React. It doesn't look like it adds much beyond what web components already give you.

I could maybe buy a tooth slowly repairing, especially with fluoride or something, but regrowing whole teeth? I don't buy that for a second.

Starches can be worse for your teeth than sugar because unlike sugar, starch isn't hydroscopic.

Same, I type on my phone with two hands. My experience typically has me going back and correcting words a whole lot more often with gesture typing, which kills any time savings and speed I may have initially gotten. Typing one or two letter

And it's not just things become unrepairable. Some vehicles, like my mom's previous vehicle, could be repaired by the owner. The problem was that any "serious" repair would require you to disassemble a surprisingly big

Right now we have a client that needs an integration, but the company that wrote the software to be integrated will not provide documentation for integration unless we purchase their (otherwise useless to us) software. That is, software t

I aggressively avoid buying books on Amazon, mostly for the reasons listed in the article, but between BAM and B&N, I will always go to a local bookstore instead. They don't grill me for PII at the register, for one. Overall the wh

Oftentimes the profile picture is the kid and it makes me wonder, what would the kid think in 10 years about the parent saying such awful things alongside their image. They'll likely never even know, and won't ever see it, but I d

I bought a super cheap Toshiba laptop for taking notes in college. One of those ~$250 ones. Completely unusable with the included Windows 10, but sailed with ElementaryOS. I put Fedora on it first, and it was mostly fine but Gnome was too s

Amazing. That link is solid white with JS disabled. Why does Google routinely refuse to display text unless JS is enabled? Their developer blog does almost the same thing.

For example, how could we ever confirm that Google treats reports on its ads the same as reports on other ads? It's unlikely that we will be able to make that confirmation, and should probably instead assume they are not treating them

Political debates on the dev floor are the bane of my existence. I have earbuds, but lately I've just started just leaving the room until it's over and letting the company pay me for the downtime. I am just extremely allergic to c

I was taken aback by the price of audiobooks until I listened to the first Dune book (my first "real" audiobook) during a roadtrip and realized they use proper voice actors, score (admittedly very small) parts of it, and generally

So basically Google looks at the terms of the software license that applies (GPLv3) and throws them out. Well that's a bit chilling. My question is, would they fight to protect the GPL licensing of Android if someone infringed it? To b
