Agreed. Having a "HTML + CSS" engineer on the team was largely due to the number of hacks needed to make css work -- purposely adding invalid html that would only be parsed by spec…

If I'm correct that the data center shown is on Belfort and Glenn Dr, then you don't even have to "research" zoning, just look across the street. In 2021/2022 before it was built: …

Also live near the data centers. While I'm obviously not 100% sure, I think that blue one is on Glenn Dr - for a bit of context, that is less than 3 miles (drive) from the Dulles I…

But there is an upside to this - you get the benefits of being a city with big business (tax revenue, donations to the local schools, investments in infrastructure), but don't have…

Depends on the definition of SPA, but in the days of jquery, I hardly consider any of that single page app. For example, the server rendered page had most of the html initial rende…

The word choice of “several” feels a bit mis-leading. Reminds me of the Big Bang Theory quote: That is not a lot of weeks. In fact, that's the bare minimum to get to the plural "we…

Is there a git gui/extension/etc which makes exploring the git blame similar to what the author did easier? Here is what I find myself doing often: - blame on file - scroll to line…

So the vercel ai js-sdk is not tied to the vercel platform and is “just” a js library which points to various llms? Is there any promise/plan/etc to keep it that way?

Your example of “New X” is spot on, because there was a timezone with that name, “US/Pacific-New”, which was different than “US/Pacific”. Bit of history: it was added to some timez…

I enjoy your 4 types on the architecture. But I’m still a bit confused on what the project actually “is”. I see you have an architecture and I’m using ts to define the interface be…

This doesn’t even make sense… why is you rebuilding it for them even part of the discussion? You built a demo of something they didn’t like, so you took it down. That should be the…

Context for people who might not get the joke/parody: SST adding containers to their stack might be viewed as a "betryal" in a similar way to how some basketball fans felt when LeB…
