There's probably other life in the universe (intelligent or not), but I doubt its ET visiting us in an FTL tractor. Besides, the visiting methodology of these aliens wouldn't match their alleged level of advancement (unless they e

Also, it was comparing a headless library with a concrete (and rigid) implementation. You could use the a similar amount of React code to get the same concrete implementation. Probably not intentionally deceitful, but it a ridiculous compar

Not the person you're responding to, but I'm confused what you're arguing against. Men proposing with a ring? Either way, to me it's someone sharing a story about a romantic gesture. If you remove your implication of sex

FWIW, I've had the same experience with CLion at my previous job. Syntax highlight lagged 30+ seconds behind. Autocomplete was unusable, because it took almost a minute sometimes (for method names!!), or would pop up with stale/ir

Would it make it much easier? If you really need env var support, you can just wrap this, I suppose. But more conveniently, you can also mount (and load from a config map in the context of kubernetes).

There's a lot of techniques applied. It's not really "one new revolutionary thing" but a bunch of things and research over the past 20-30 years put together to make nanite possible. This video might shed some light http

I only glanced at the docs, but way they expect apps to integrate with it seems a bit convoluted to me? It's not really a reverse proxy at this What would be wrong with just using HTTP/2, maybe with a few custom headers sprinkled

Sure, some are funny and witty, but they're still helpful and the user has to rate the game, not just write a comment. There's the occasional "in joke" comment that usually only makes sense to people who're already

Slurs are unintelligent, low-hanging attempts at an insult, and a sign of a weak mind. Worst of all, they're completely lacking in imagination. I get called gay/fag in games often (I'm queer and got a slight gay lisp), but it
