I too don't use half the things mentioned in the project's documentation but I know what they all are, the ecosystem isn't that big. I'd be really interested to hear what stack you…

I can only assume you're not a web developer? Because just the title of the post makes it clear to pretty much any web dev what this is. The package introduction sections accessibl…

I noticed another user has already commented, sounds like they've had more experience with the things you're interested in than I have, for FWIW, the APIs have been sufficient for …

Appreciate you taking part in the conversation. So often people complain about companies not communicating like humans, but when they do people almost seem to get more pissed off. …

Good and clear explanation. This is a risk you take when you use a CDN, I still think the benefits outweigh the occasional downtime. I'm a big fan of BunnyCDN, they've saved me a l…

I found it useful. "Being in sales" is a moral grey area for a lot of us, so it's interesting to see the response when someone indirectly challenges those that don't share that vie…

Isn't Vue like 13kb? By what measure is that considered big?

Not exactly surprising given the ubiquity of the English language. I always find it funny how it's used as a criticism of English speakers. We are no less able to learn other langu…

That's funny, I always think of the house in My Neighbour Totoro as probably the most idyllic place I could imagine. I'd swap my place in relatively central London for it in a hear…

I readily accept that the reality is harrowing, but I don't agree that just sharing information about some potentially immoral thing is anything like the pursuit of some state of m…

Just a friendly heads up: I used to be a huge fan of this YT channel until I saw some pretty damning evidence that the guy is a predatory sex tourist/pick up artist. I really enjoy…

Good article, articulated a lot of my own feelings on the subject. The only part I can never quite get my head around is having multiple offers at once. It takes me months if not y…

I built an ecommerce website recently with a terminal of sorts. You can list and add products to your cart using commands. Alas the platform it's built on (Shopify) doesn't have an…

I really despise the term "inclusivity". This guy seems like a prick but I wish companies would be honest about what they are doing. "Inclusivity" means getting everyone to subscri…

I've tried to read about prions a few times and never really grasped the mechanism, so this was a really informative explanation, thank you.

I draw the line in that I don't eat anything with a central nervous system. I don't doubt a biologist might make me reconsider my understanding of a CNS, but I've always found it a…

Another example in the retro style: https://based.gg

Salaries are operating expenses, so if a company makes £1,000 revenue and pays £1,000 in salaries to its staff, it makes £0 profit.

I think shame is a really useful thing in the context of society and something I feel a lot of Western cultures would benefit from. I've never understood the "don't X shame me" thi…

I don't think it's achievable, most people would rather not inconvenience themselves, but why is not a reasonable thing to consider? It's stupidly easy to be vegan in a first world…

> The people who committed those atrocities were human beings with full agency, not infants, not subhumans, and they alone bear the overwhelming responsibility for their actions. I…

You seem to be quite unaware of the facts of the genocide. France directly aided the Hutu government because they were worried about Anglophone influence in the region. Both before…

I think that is extremely unlikely. Another referendum anytime soon would be a political nightmare for both Labour and the Tories, it's such a contentious issue that they're both b…

It's not exactly helpful to be a contrarian about every action of a government (by the way, the "English government" doesn't exist) because they haven't implemented the specifics o…

The prime minister issued an apology over a decade ago. Please stop spreading misinformation. You may feel passionate about an issue for whatever reason, that's not an excuse to li…
