> think about all the people growing your food etc Did he really say that? Farmers are the original WFH-ers.

> OP said Exactly. Just as we also see the sun rise each morning. That, however, does not imply one predicts that the sun will forever rise each morning. In fact, we know that at s…

Do you still find HTML5 to be as interesting as ever, or do you find that interest wanes with time? AI is many decades older than HTML5, so if your interest does wane then it stand…

> What if we _don't_ have one every 5-10 years? Then the observed trend will come to an end. Seems rather obvious, no?

Certainly if you need a network-attached database and aren't creating your own home brew network-attached database (the so-called API server), Postgres is a pretty good choice.

I'm not sure that's analogous to "best practices" like "do not repeat yourself (DRY)" or "don't use GOTO". These are little more than stylistic choices that claim to offer more mai…

> How other engineering industries deal with this phenomena? They don't. CAD, the "programming languages" of most other engineering disciplines, is as much of a Wild West.

Go has objects, but objects alone does not imply orientation. For that, you need message passing.

> If cars simply didn't exist, our cities would not, could never have, been designed the way they are, in any way. Nah. Many cities long predate the car. They absolutely were desig…

Stacked like a sardine for $3,500/mo, yet still have to travel long distances to do anything. The curse of the wannabe rural city. But, as people want to (or at least want to prete…

According to the specification, DNT: 0 = Yes, track me. DNT: 1 = No, do not track me. > I'm not even sure with it set to 0 that you can assume that intent. That's the problem. Some…

Interesting that they felt their content added to right wing conspiracies. Good on them for realizing and backing away, I guess, but won't they still feed other platforms? It does …

There is a "Yes-Track" header – DNT: 0 Granted, you can't legally use it like that where EU laws apply, per the GDPR. Hence the complaints about the GDPR you see in other comments.…
