Like jwilk, I don’t get why that should be relevant. I suppose if he’s at a bar with cops, ideally they would not let him drink if he is underage (this requires a fantasy world where cops apply the law equally to their friends). Which sugge

Those are some interesting numbers, but I don’t understand the connection. Slime molds are exciting because dragonflies are better hunters than porpoises despite having a millionfold fewer neurons?

Nationality is not a geographical position. It’s more like saying that someone is a “millenial” instead of listing their actual date of birth. But unlike which generation you are born in, nationality is not a simple, fixed, unique thing tha

You don’t mention it explicitly, but I assume you’ve manually copied and pasted all the code, as well as the various patches with updates? In my experience, that quickly makes new suggestions from ChatGPT go out of sync with the actual stat

It’s not ridiculous. Look at how it’s done on the page itself: a link to the footer in the header. I’d argue that the word “sitemap” isn’t a great choice for the link text, but the interaction itself works ok.

Looks interesting. So used to coming across things like this, and then in section N of the documentation is the first time the developer bothers to mention that it’s React-only. A breath of fresh air that this looks genuinely framework-inde

The bottom part has 5 digits, but the top part only has 4 (counting blank as digit 0). If both had 5 digits there would have been 5×5=25 positional digits. So it’s kind of base 5, base 4, and base 20 at the same time.

Please re-read your own comment. You describe two hard things, performance and long-tail compatibility, and literally state that “the team” will have a nightmare left after an initial cruise.
