- bleuarffIt's to be expected per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...
- Because it's never been considered an interesting target, compared to npm's reach?
- Interesting. Any source on why/when the switch happened?
- Handling resize is a different beast than being responsive. Working for every viewport dimension under the sun is not the same thing as gracefully handling an animation while the viewport size changes - the latter is much more challenging.
- Yes it is, but it's my understanding that this is the actual testimony from Tulsi Gabbard, part of the conversation.
- Here in France, we have strict laws, and on-calls MUST be paid in some form or another. When we were bought by a US company, mgmt tried to set up on-call shifts for us - we had never needed them for the 10 years prior -, until they learnt of labor laws and went "fuck it, you're on call mon-fri, 10am - 6pm". I'm forty, have a family, and no amount of money could justify that I can't shutoff my phone at night, or prevent from going on a walk on weekends because "uptime". I've never been so glad of french worker protections.
- I, for one, thought of a similar concept from Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
- I thought so, but when I came back to the tab later it was working, and was able to go through all examples. Unlike Chrome who crashed halfway through the page.
- Yes, but the model has asked that the community stops using this image. It should be pretty easy to find an image that can serve as a standard, and that no one objects to.
- Not sure that was the case 50ky ago. That was during a glacial period, sea level was probably 100+m below current level.
- More errors for France:
- Beaujolais is in place of Lyon. Beaujolais is a wine region just north of it.
- "Tolose" is actually spelled "Toulouse"
- "Anduoillette" is actually Bordeaux. "Andouillette" (without the typo) is a pork sausage made from intestines. Typically french, but the region most associated with this food is in the opposite of the country, in the North-East.
- "Marsupial" is Marseille
- The article goes on to say these stars are very young at ~10My, which is about the smallest time scale at which you might notice some change on continents'aspect. So you're probably technically right, but by a very thin margin.
- "Why should I care if a company I give money to treats its employees as slaves or as actual human beings?" A minimal dose of empathy towards fellow humans is a good reason, at least in my opinion.
- On the other hand, the head of the french hunting federation has openly said he couldn't care less about animals and regulations. While receiving public funds to fulfill a mission of regulation.
- And not even all ISPs, only the few most popular ones. Even if that's probably 96% of internet users, that looks like the law does not treat all citizens equally.
- Yes that was a bit of an exaggeration. It's not setting up a manufacturing line from scratch, but finding the spec sheets and contracting a workshop willing to do a small run on the desired parts, which is not that easy.
- The brand was pretty popular at some point, and there are a lot of enthusiasts, even a federation of Panhard fanclubs. When asking a workshop for some part, whether machining or molding or whatever, they generally group their needs to make runs of tens or hundreds of parts to make it viable.
Also I'm not talking about the CD, which is a race car and a different kind of beast, but most of their other models, from the start of the 20th century until the 60s.
- My wife is related to the Panhard family and many of them are collectors of the brand. There are 2 CDs in the family, perfectly restored. That car is indeed magnificent. The main problem is there's only a handful of mechanics who know and can work on such cars (leaving out the absurd money it requires). Replacing pieces can be an industrial endeavor to set up a factory line to craft new copies of the needed pieces.
- About bundling assets I'm not convinced. I've run a year-long test where 50% of our users would download a single JS bundle, and the others would use about a dozen distinct files. All using HTTP/2. I've checked every metric I could think of to see what's best. In the end the not-bundled pages would be a tiny bit quicker to load, but I the few milliseconds of difference was not significant. So I stopped bothering and do not bundle my JS anymore.
- Where do you get that average life expectancy of 10-12? I never heard a figure that low, and I doubt humanity would have lasted that long if the average life expectancy was barely enough to reach sexual maturity. Also, I think these life expectancy in the past stats mostly do not distinguish between the extremely high death rate for infants, and the more normal life expectancy for those that survived past 2 y.o. The distribution is so skewed, I guess even the median expectancy would not be really useful.
