The fact that PHP stands at 78% and Javascript stands at 2% in the report is counterintuitive. This anomaly might be caused by all the Wordpress sites that are out there, if so, readers should not use this report to steer their career.

It's still not very clear why it started out this way. After all, Subsystem for X, with Windows implied, would have worked too.

I don't like the extra padding that every designer is adding into every web site and application. I need to keep multiple sites/apps on my screen as I need to look at references, work on my tasks, and communicate with others. but

Designers seem to have no problem ballooning the size of their pages with high-resolution photos and videos through. Perhaps it's because getting high-resolution photos and videos is a lot easier than designing and creating icons in mu

Part of the reason might be caused by the popularity of the consumption web where sites want photo to be king, so they reach for minimalistic icons. Font awesome was invented and the look ended up being fed back into productivity apps.

They just need to earn their own crypto somehow. The AI could do then quite a bit even though they do not have Personhood, which could include lobbying politicians for Personhood.

I agree that folks losing their homes to freeway expansions have stake in this. I am pointing out that the language shaped discourse against motorists. This is not the only example either. Motorists are compared with rats in other situation

The concept of induced demand shifts the government from a role where it manages the supply of road to serve motorists, to a role where it exists to manage traffic. The critical differences in that the motorists are no longer meaningful sta

The only other party that's capable of pushing this kind of functionality onto the industry is Google, and Google does not have HDMI out on any of their current Pixels. Perhaps it's intentional to prevent Android from competing in

Here is a question for everyone: What would it takes for ChatGPT to provide support for the AutoHotKey V2 syntax? Is the manual sufficient? Would it also need a library of sample codes? Would it require StackOverflow posts?

When ChatGPT serve me broken code, I would paste the errors back in and ChatGPT would try to make corrections. I don't see why ChatGPT couldn't do that itself with the right compiler, saving me from being a copy and paste clerk.

I just did a Google search on a [big canadian bank with 4-letters fraud] and got all the bank's own pages. The bank created specialized pages for different fraud related scenarios, and they monopolized the first result page.

What constitutes 'work'. On one extreme, a studio spending millions making a movie is a single piece of work. On the other extreme, a photographer might take 100 photos in a day that he/she offers for sales. The number won&#x

For anyone wondering, Google consumed 25% of water used in a city of 16000 people. This doesn't seem unreasonable.

One possible reason that Google doesn't offer a blocklist is that Google only provides a limited number of results per query. Given Google typically shows more than one result from the same domain, so with a blocklist, it would actuall

Depending on your requirement, it might be better to create custom functions in Javascript [1]. One difference is that the functions are tied to the Excel installation, and not on the workbook like VBA. [1]: https://learn.microso

It's amazing looking at the staying power of flat design. 10 years ago, some commentators on HN were calling flat design a fad. 10 years later, we only evolved to flat 2.0 with saturated hue on buttons and bit of shadow around buttons.

Yeah. I don't doubt the skill of the NASA engineering team. They could definitely solve this problem if they were asked to design the power system to last longer.
