I think there are pros and cons to this. I can definitely see how, in a company with larger teams, separating the frontend and backend can help with productivity. On the other hand, I'd wager that decoupled applications are less effici

Fortunately with modern serverless architecture, it's possible to make this performant! Just split up each comment into words and dispatch each word to a queue where AWS Lambda workers can check the words against the user's passwo

Any idea if these projectors could be made to work with other sources that don't require DRM? As much as this sucks for movie theaters, it could also be the deal of the century for a home theater build if you know the right people...

I also think a person who has had to strip out or replace dependencies is more likely to be careful when choosing them in the future. This is definitely the case for me, at least.

The problem is that humans are bad at sitting there paying attention while they're not actively engaged, which is what's required to use FSD safely. Also, FSD has essentially no benefits if you use it safely. If you listen to some

I do think cofounders, particularly cofounders with specific skillsets who could be earning a solid salary at a more established company, have additional barriers. Being a cofounder means giving up "I'll definitely make X" fo

Honestly in my brief dabbling with ChatGPT, it hasn't really felt like it's good at the stuff that I'd want taken off my plate. At work I tend to build stuff that you'd describe as "CRUD plus business logic", s

I don't have a handy article to link, but US vehicle loan terms have been steadily increasing for a while now. Many people end up rolling negative equity into their next loan, which can push them into choosing something more expensive

To be clear I agree that your setup should be supported, but I have to ask... How do you have those set up? I've seen people with a random smattering of monitors, but typically it seems like that happens with smaller/older monitor

If you go far enough away from the nearest city that housing prices drop, median income drops as well. I'm not saying I'm surprised that housing in NYC is expensive, but I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia (specifically in one o

T-Mobile has been rebranding themselves as the "rebel" of the cell network industry for a while... Maybe someone can convince them to parody this by releasing a "5,736G" network?

I don't know if much innovation is really required, honestly. You probably won't find what you're looking for with Mac/Windows, but if you run a tiling window manager like i3 on Linux you'll pretty much just see a c

I imagine that economists probably correct for inflation when putting this data together. I can't speak for these graphs 100%, but I think the real issue we're talking about here is not money or people but resources. Resources can

The problem is the ecosystem. You can get response times for the main page down pretty low (especially with caching plugins) and the time to serve static assets is the same for Wordpress or a static site. Most likely if your site feels slow

I don't think you're quite getting what really causes these safety issues. Limiting cars' acceleration or speed still leaves 6000lb SUVs with double the momentum of 3000lb sedans. Most car crashes don't involve anyone go

Ultimately I don't think they can. How would they handle a link like ` https://example.com/password_reset?prid=ZXhhbXBsZWNsaWNraWQ `? I'm sure somebody will figure out a way to use multiple seemingly-legitimate para

Yeah, even if ChatGPT could perfectly understand the prompts you'd still run into major issues with token limits. I tried to get it to rebuild a single page for me (to move from one UI framework to another) and I couldn't fit the

Car guys recommend Toyota because someone who's asking what car they should buy probably just cares about affordable maintenance and not having their car in the shop all the time. If you just want to get from point A to point B, Toyota

I still think these numbers are too low, at least for my metro area. $60k post-tax in the Philly metro area isn't enough to rent a decent place alone and also save for retirement. Maybe when they say "take-home" they're

A large part of the issue is the modern Javascript ecosystem too. The browser isn't the most efficient way to build apps, sure, but using a virtual DOM adds a whole extra layer of performance issues.

With Reddit specifically, I think they at least have one legitimate reason in addition to the normal nefarious ones. Their new web interface is incredibly slow, especially as you continue browsing over time. On phones, that's likely to

Unfortunately many of the people who fled Russia are vocal supporters of Putin. Those people support the war, but don't want to be drafted into service themselves. Obviously this isn't everyone who has fled, but I think it'

I just took a look at Gunicorn and, while I'm probably a bit biased as a PHP developer who also maintains the infrastructure, I think setting up PHP is almost exactly the same as setting up Gunicorn. The Nginx config will look a little

I'll second the advice to learn Laravel! PHP has gotten a lot better over time. For someone who hasn't used it since version 5 or earlier, writing modern PHP with a modern framework like Laravel will probably feel like whole new l

This isn't meant to be a dig at you, but iCloud seems like an interesting choice for someone who cares about visible folder structures, given that Apple led the pack on hiding files and folders from their users. I'd be curious to

In my opinion, Windows and Mac OS are similarly bad for web development. Mac OS comes a little closer to the Linux environment I prefer using, but you'd probably eventually run into something that was a pain to get working. I never had
