Did you try out pnpm, by chance? I’ve read a few good things, but it doesn’t seem to get mentioned all that often. So I’m curious what people with larger projects think about it. https://pnpm.js.org/

It's Typescript for the immediate future. It's where the resources are (Microsoft, etc), it's where the type definitions are for the libraries you want to use (don't underestimate this one!), and it's where the deve

Interesting, we have an Elasticsearch cluster of around 300 i3s (and maybe soon some i3ens) I think mostly because of the NVMe storage. But yeah there's not much compute to go with all that disk space. > aggregates were one thing th

Are these expensive watches $200, or $2000(0)? It’s hard for me to imagine it being economically worthwhile to do intricate repairs on $200 watches, or that it would end up costing less than buying a new watch.

Yeah, I don’t get it either. Unless the point is that you should completely discard the food, rather than trying to remove the moldy bit and eat the rest? People never died for no reason, though, they just didn’t understand the reason at th

I do think it’s wholly inappropriate to comment on another person’s body parts in a public forum, when it is not the topic of discussion, even if that person appears to be proud of said body part. But I can see your take on it

Ok, that makes sense, but my question isn't "how would I go about coming up with an estimate?" it's "how could I claim my estimate is accurate, given that the thing I'm estimating has never happened before?&quo

That's not my point, though - perhaps I didn't word it clearly. I'm not saying this event can't or won't happen, I'm questioning the claim (maybe I'm misinterpreting the article?) that we can accurately fo

Iceland is a little bit more "on the way" than NZ is - it can be a stopping point on a trip to Europe or the US. But I think you must be right. If the trip becomes less burdensome more people will want to come. The obvious (to me)
