This is for good reason. Rapid tests are substantially less sensitive and often give false negatives, especially for asymptomatic cases. There are also a lot of rapid "at home" tests out there that have high false positive rates,

This is probably a less unusual opinion than you'd think - power steering, especially modern power steering, insulates you from the feel of the road. The argument is usually hydraulic power steering vs electric power steering these day

I absolutely think Ubuntu's update cycle is a big part of why PHP 8 doesn't have a higher adoption rate. The PHP webapps I write are all served by Ubuntu servers (on 20.04 LTS) and there isn't an official PHP 8 package yet. E

I think PHP7+ has provided a lot in terms of modernization and focus on the OO paradigm. For what it's worth, there are a couple of tools out there that should help getting your personal app up and running on PHP7 if you're intere

Interestingly, I have an app using Heroku Postgres that seems to have had zero issues during this outage. I can see data that was stored during this period of time and Rollbar doesn't show any DB connection errors.

This isn't really a sight-seeing thing, but grab a cheese steak! Pat's/Gino's are the famous spots where everyone takes photos, but IMO they're mostly tourist traps at this point. Worst cheese steaks I've had w

Some people may not consider it a beater, but rental cars get treated like absolute crap (regular gas even if they should get premium, traditional oil vs synthetic, renters beat them up because they don't care). If I were choosing betw

Obviously there are many other big issues, but the things you've listed don't have a (direct) impact on climate change specifically. There's lots of things going on that damage the environment in various ways and I agree that

I'm not familiar with the specifics of gain-of-function research, but on its face this comment sounds a lot like "we haven't developed a vaccine for COVID yet, so we should ban trying to develop a vaccine" would've

What kind of bugs have you seen? I haven't tried Tailwind JIT yet but I'm hoping to eventually switch over a work project and I'd love to have some idea of when I'm getting myself into.

You don't, that's just the quickest/easiest way to get started. If you read slightly further, you'll get to the section for people who already have the dependencies installed directly: https://laravel.com&#x2F

Wouldn't Docker still need a VM for Linux containers on any non-Linux OS? My understanding is that it uses the host's kernel, so running it on macOS would always require a VM.

So I'm a Vue developer who hasn't ever actually built anything in Svelte, but Svelte uses a really cool model that's completely different from Vue and React. Where Vue/React use a virtual DOM, Svelte is compiled to essen

I don't think this is a hard problem to solve, it's just outside the scope of the site generator itself. The best way to handle it probably depends on how you deploy the site, but one option would be using the at command to either

One thing to note here that's a bit ambiguous in your comment - an M1XX with 128 GPU cores would still have substantially fewer GPU cores than the 2x Radeon Vega II Duo. The Radeon Vega II Due has 128 compute cores and 8192 stream proc

There are lots of 18650 "manufacturers" that actually just buy used batteries, re-wrap them, and sell them as new. I imagine that used Tesla battery packs may be used for this purpose pretty frequently. Unfortunately while this ac

You can probably use almost any marketing email provider for this - I know for a fact Mailchimp has an API integration to push new contacts into an email flow.

If you want GPU performance to match a dedicated GPU, you can't fit it in a Macbook (or any Mac except the Mac Pro, for that matter). Even if the M1's graphics units only used 50% as much power as an equivalently-powerful Nvidia o

To be fair, they're getting paid to recommend buying it through Amazon. Sure there might be an incentive to link a higher-priced laptop to get a larger commission, but in terms of Lenovo-vs-some-other-brand I don't see any incenti

Cooling on new Mac laptops is nearly-nonexistent. I'd wait for ARM (if that will even be usable for you) or go for a PC if you plan to do anything except editing text files and using SSH.

This is the most negative possible framing of the argument at hand. In my personal position, I want to "force" the government to "use it's [sic] monopoly of force" to accept a little more tax money from me in exchan

That fits into my definition of "significantly". It may not be a total game-changer, but if up to 15% isn't significant, where do we draw that line?

Are Android 0days still selling for way more than iOS 0days due to relative scarcity, or is that outdated information? If it's still true, this article is missing pretty much the whole story.

If a third party could provide an equivalent to Apple's tracking ID, they'd already be able to do that with a library. Having a different app store has absolutely no effect on this issue whatsoever.
