as far as I've understood the AI mode on my new-ish washing machine: it's just a renamed "automatic" mode that uses a sensor to measure how heavy the load is and adjusts the cycle …

There is, the Koralpe massif. Previously to get to Klagenfurt from Graz you first had to go north through a somewhat tight valley for about 50km before the train would turn to the …

I've gotten into the habit of generally using single quoted strings (with 'around them') which alleviates most problems with escaping double quotes. And for the odd string that nee…

they do. which is how they figured out the discrepancy between estimated and actual weight. but they do need to estimate the weight to plan the loading of baggage and cargo, e.g. m…

Again, you are saying that breathing causes climate change? In its purest essence?

Sorry what? When has anyone ever said breathing is the cause for climate change? Or even talked about disallowing breathing?

I am aware. Why do these news corporations not just write an appropriate robots.txt so Google can't take their content? Is it maybe because they want their cake AND eat it too?

But wouldn't a developer who is surprised by performance penalties caused by empty scroll event handlers also not use passive listeners? The point of passive listeners would be to …

I don't think I said people write shitty code on purpose, I'll have to go back and read my own comment to make sure though. You might find that it is even a better option to do _mo…
