   I agree. I’m not familiar with Python and figured the '1'*n was just a quirk to convert the int to a string, not an integral part of the process. Kind of a weird way to repeat a string, tbh, but I guess the concision is appreciate

   Very cool, thank you for Monokai! Big fan of your other stuff, too. As someone who owns one of those pink hoodies from your (now defunct?) shop, why did they say “Machine”? I kinda would have preferred one that said “Monokai”, lol.

   Very nice, thank you! I see you have a checked bell icon, which I was missing from my usual go-to https://phosphoricons.com the other day. Definitely want to try these! Might I suggest giving the icons some more breathing room?

   ProcessWire is great and it’s the perfect example for the OP’s main criterion “can be downloaded, dropped onto a server, and you’ll have a website”! One great thing about it is that that’s also how you update it. Download new version, repla

   Yes, this is exactly why you choose Htmx. So you can focus on web fundamentals. Reason about HTTP and HTML. Sometimes throw in some vanilla javascript when absolutely necessary. Pull in one or two hand-picked zero-dependency libs for things

   While I doubt that’s true in general, I could fantasise that this somehow, in a roundabout way, contributed to our intelligence because it may have increased selection for better vision, pattern matching etc. to gather (edible) fruit.

   I think this video, and most such experiments involving children, suffer from a central issue: children are extremely sensitive to what they think adults want to hear. The kid watched the woman manipulate the things. He probably figured it

    I fully believe the biological details presented in the videos, sure, but there’s a certain clickbaitiness about them that leaves a bad taste. The one about genetics seems to force conclusions that are palatable to modern sensibilities. How

    Huh, I guess “non-trivial PDF” is so wide a spectrum as to become meaningless, but FWIW I’ve never had any such problems on much lower hardware specs. I am, however, only talking about whole books, long-ish forms, brochures with print-quali

    I don’t, really. I open the browser and there they are, roughly in order of opening. So I continue where I left off, more often than not closing the browser with more tabs than I opened it. Sometimes I use the AllTabsHelper extension to pru

    I’m at 7124 right now, the oldest one is probably being a decade old. Not sure what the issue is with amassing tabs per se. It’s just stuff on a computer no different from some messy directory, inbox or reading list. Of course, things 404 a

    Wernher von Braun himself also wrote probably the first serious treatise on human missions to mars as well as a science fiction novel on the topic in 1948. Apparently the original German novel remains unpublished, but there is an English tr
