PHP and Laravel are amazing.

As a novice Arch user, I never realized this is why I needed to update keys often

I get it now, but I have so much imposter syndrome that I wasn't sure if this was ACTUALLY something I needed to figure out -__-

It does. https://go.dev/blog/maps What the poster was alluding to is that you usually prefer to deseialize to a struct rather than a record/dict/map

The market can stay silly longer than I can stay solvent

Nebula is such a streaming service. From what I understand, they are a subscription based company that has a profit share incentive for it's creators. Consequently, the creators sk…

The OP is right that in everyday talk state is not used in the general sense of "government"

My own tin foil hat theory is that "state" in that usage entered into common English use (in U.S.) because of foreign actors. Rush Limbaugh, et al. have been talking about "deep st…

I think a lot of people dislike that JavaScript is a general purpose programming language, rather than being a scripting engine for browsers.

Htmx posits that current browsers aren't "truly" hypermedia since only anchor tags and forms can initiate GET/POST requests. It is more of a tech demo showing what client with ANY …

I've spoken to my friends on how right-on-red is one of the most anti-pedestrian rules of the street that exist. It was like pulling nails trying to convince them that the added co…

To whatever extent this article is true suggests that the way to convince people of certain positions is to hook them via peripheral route, but then keep them there via the central…

I did this by mistake. Got hired as a QA, transferred to dev in six months. I wouldn't technically qualify for similar roles in my company were I to apply from the outside.

As we discuss this topic, can we keep a few things in mind? Density does not mean Manhattan levels of density. Manhattan has 28,000/km^2, Atlanta has 3,500/km^2. That's an order of…

I love this comment because it is strongly hinted that Evrart Claire is the real deal and he likes to play the part of a corrupt Union boss

Wrong abstractions start off as right abstractions and slowly become wrong abstractions. What's the point in which a right abstractions becomes a wrong abstraction? Am I sure I can…

This "15-minute city" meme is the latest example of how conservative propaganda and misinformation make it around the world before the truth has even put on its shoes.

It's more that every substance has a specific heat capacity. That is, how much energy it takes to raise 1 g of that substance one degree Celsius. Water happens to have some of the …

I think the concern is that LLMs approximate that enough for decision makers to replace jobs. What critics see is a world where consumers and lower skilled workers get shafted in o…
