This reminds me of when I (a native english speaker), was speaking spanish and said I was glad someone could spend time with their kids. I was later corrected that the verb I used (prestar I think) for "to spend" had the negative

But let it be noted that "should've" != "bad/malicious" (at least, that would be my reading). Rather I think it's more about bad fit and incompetence in a specific responsibility.

Ha! We used to live with my in-laws and when moving out I setup my SSID to be the same as theirs because who wants to re-authenticate an unreasonably large number of wireless devices?

On the flip side, is there a JVM-based Wasm interpreter? JNI is great and all, but I love the thought of compiling native code to WASM to provide a single package for all plaform without extra redundant packages.

To push this point a little further: in Rust when there's not a clean way to prevent memory unsafety (or when you haven't requested to), it aborts the process. Out of array indexing, stack overflows, etc.

When I went to high school we used windows XP. I took an accounting class that used Excel and by some keen insight and nifty use of formulas and copy->paste values, I was able to get down with in class work exceptionally fast and often h

It doesn't matter they why (to me). Knowing about it, I'd like it fixed. For all justices.

My understanding is that those were later refuted. (And that light wine drinking correlates with socio-economic status, which also correlates with health)

You got me curious about the stats. For one way commute time the mean is 27.6 minutes, and only 22% spend more than 30 minutes. I'd be more interested in median commute time though. https://www.zippia.com/advice/av

I'm not hearing any of the "blindly" stuff. It's more like "China has done to their monopolies what I've wished would happen to ours for a while now".

What are your build times like? On a broader note, does anybody know of any build time comparisons for UI frameworks? Whenever I search for build time speed comparisons, I only find runtime speed comparisons...

I think we were at around ~150k lines of typescript I think. We were also stuck on Angular 12 due to browser compatibility issues (cries in IE11). I think we were looking at ~20s for the dev server and ~25 minutes for the the prod builds.

This. As soon as you have to integrate multiple languages, jumping from the native build tool to an integrated build tool is a must. Why? So that you can saturate all your threads in an efficient way.

Angular doesn't play well with newer build tools - esbuild, vite, etc., making Angular quite isolated from the other frameworks. So a plug for vite is a plug for most frameworks except Angular (and others not on the radar). But also An

In addition, my understanding is that there were a lot of skilled workers let go during the pandemic that aren't (or won't) come back, which is a huge choking point.

It was inspired by motion sickness prevention glasses I heard about. They are hollow with water inside halfway to provide a horizon that reflects real motion. I think the perk to the VR thing is to be able to watch movies or read books with

Solution: wear a VR headset on the plane which displays the horizon in a way that makes motion visible, and keeps a book in the center of your view :)
