    Mexico most cabs there just have windows rolled down or even no windows at all aside from the windshield. In Mazatlan for example the most common taxi is called a pulmonia and only…

    The reason why this is a big deal is because they figured out a way to engineer the type of cells that are hard to create that can readily fight off the virus. In some people they …

    Yes but why bother with React, Hydrating pages at all if you can do something simpler? What advantages does React provide here? HTMX tools are simpler while providing straightforwa…

    Angular being basically the same HTMX is nonsense and you should know better. Say you have a huge Google Ads budget burning up on those landing pages. Make one version with React a…

    I had landing pages using React on a 1.6M/m budget. The loading times on cell phones in mainland USA meant we had people cancelling the loading of pages. When we converted to strai…

    Sounds like you never worked on complex HTMX systems. They're easier to maintain, allow for easy caching of HTML fragments in a page. For higher traffic pages React just fails spec…

    I'm unable to purchase it there even though it is way cheaper than getting it elsewhere because of blocking bugs with my Canadian physical address. Postal code which is valid is co…

    The article actually explains it better than I can but essentially you do not want the agent to get desperate which causes it to burn extra tokens. Planning phase doesn't test assu…

    I'm so glad it allows for preferences to reduce motion. I don't like these kinds of UIs at all... unless maybe I'm inside a video game and even then it bothers me after the initial…

    You're mistaken. Name 3 accomplishments he made and I'll show you world class work done elsewhere by other companies. The only thing he did which was notable was Starlink and I'll …

    Please refrain from putting these 2 in the same bucket. Fracking does lots of localized and non-local pollution. Nuclear is contained and way safer for humans.

    I can't comprehend for the life of me that people put their life savings in what Elon Musk is doing. Are people not seeing how he's lying about the future all the time? He said he …

    For the life of me I can't comprehend how people today start new projects and default to using React. Rails Hotwire, Phoenix Liveview, HTMX are all vastly faster and easier to main…

    I remember when people would talk about a new game they hadn't yet tried and the first question was "How are the graphics?". They truly did amazing work back then to push the limit…

    I have a really good friend who used Starlink for his cottage in Canada and as soon as there was broadband he switched away. Starlink was unreliable and slow compared to what he ha…

    I'm convinced that the internet is mostly dead at this point. Sites like reddit or this one don't ask people for their identity. Nothing on here could be real and we'd be none the …
