I’m sorry your project was stalled by this. What static file hosting were you using? If it doesn’t support COOP/COEP headers yet, you can force it by using a service worker with this neat hack: https://stefnotch.github.io&#

Or those juice pamphlets were planted by Big Juice in a psyops move to increase juice sales and juice being “good for you” is a semi-recent invention, only recently overturned in favor of “juice is not good for you”.

With a kid or is that just your impression? I used to like living in the city with a kid. Lots of access to interesting places and activities, able to walk to school and playgrounds and such. It’s lost some allure during the pandemic.

Cities with shittier weather, e.g. in the Northeast or upper Midwest, don’t seem to have this problem as much. Much less antisocial behavior than in California cities, which seem uniquely bad in this respect.

Induction stoves have all the benefits you mention, plus they are faster to heat and cool down and produce no indoor particulate pollution.

Majorly editorialized title for a link to the position posting. IIUC that's not OK by the site guidelines.

That's... completely backwards? City dwellers have the smallest environmental impact. Air quality within cities is actually a totally different issue from whether living in a city is in and of itself harmful for the environment. As th

What do you mean by “we” have “accepted” any such situation? Most of the people working on sites with those banners aren’t here on this board. Even if they were, what do you want them to do? Refuse to work? Quit on principle? It’s not l

Doesn't the price of energy factor into literally everything else? Every production and supply chain in the whole economy takes energy: gas, gasoline, oil, coal, solar, nuclear, etc. If energy prices are up significantly, I'd exp

That's... incredibly naive. And I don't think YouTube dislikes are a clear-cut case of "bad thing done for money". It can easily be argued either way. It's also naive to think that YouTube developers don't al

I don't understand this sentiment at all. I have no idea what any of what you're posting has to do with "well intentions" or "money mak[ing] people do anything". Are you just mad that dislikes were removed fro

Can you expand on that? Was this a property of C compilers or other languages on IBM mainframes? I get that it's tongue in cheek, but it would probably be even funnier / ironic if I had more context to understand it. It's th

It's a bit different in that space because the "new markets" are seen as a thread that will cannibalize the core business. It becomes a major political issue within the organization. Not to mention the reputation of the orga

Sounds like selection bias. Do you live in a region with high vaccination rates overall? I certainly also don't know any unvaccinated-by-choice people personally either in my bubble. My city is up to 82% one dose, 71% fully vaccinate

This comment fits in just as well with a phone from the 1870s as a phone from the 2020s. I can just imagine someone saying this about the neighbors' party line.

In #2 you use Atomics.wait in the Worker instead and then it can signal the main thread when done. We use this to convert async browser APIs to service synchronous callbacks that our C library compiled to WebAssembly expects.
