To play devils advocate, do the technical requirements even matter in that case if nobody can tell they aren’t being met?

It’s short term thinking IMO, but it’s my interpretation of the argument AI proponents are making.

As a fan of Time Team, that's very cynical.

Time Team is a good citizen of the archeological community. It has real professional archaeologists with academic credentials, not just entertainers.

It's funded via Patreon these days and is on YouTube, not TV, so ratings aren't as much of a concern.

Blame the media for the breathless hype if you like, they are the ones benefiting from the clicks here.

Fair, the author's point would have been stronger if the page was made using just static HTML/CSS.

But I have to defend Tailwind, it's not a massive CSS framework, it just generates CSS utility classes. Only the utility classes you use end up in the output CSS.

The article claims that loading JavaScript that sends back information comes under the ePDs definition of accessing stored data:

> So sending out JavaScript code that instructs the terminal equipment to send back information is… accessing the information.

Re:How Discord stores trillions of messages on Sunday September 29, 2024 @09:27AM (#41687243)
While it’s true that messages are read more, reading can be cached so not every read necessarily results in a DB call.
Re:Netflix never used its $1M algorithm (2012) on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @07:16PM (#38945547)
That is incorrect. The PS5 disc version was available at launch. The recent refresh has an optional disc accessory.
I don’t have the same experience. Is your mouse sensitivity turned up very high?
If you stick to a few useful types like `Option` and `Either`/`TaskEither` you can get a lot of value out of it when writing server side code, particularly when combined with `io-ts` for safely parsing data.

If you go all in and use every utility it provides to write super succint FP code, it can get pretty unreadable.

There's smooth movement and smooth turning options for most games, including Alyx.

There's an extension called Clockwise that does this for Google Calendar. It hugely improved productivity in my team.

Re:Stop Swiss Cheesing your calendar on Monday February 08, 2021 @03:58AM (#26062204)
+1 for Clockwise, it does a great job of automating this. It easily doubled my team's work time ("focus time" in Clockwise).

It also has useful preferences like "prefer morning/afternoon", "no meeting days", which it takes into account when scheduling.

I can't say enough good things about it. It's free at first but I would pay almost any money to keep it, the value of the extra time it gives you is enormous.

Re:TypeScript support in Electron on Friday June 02, 2017 @05:23PM (#14473423)
If you continue to use Electron from JavaScript this changes nothing for you. You might get more helpful intellisense if you use vscode, that's all.

I read this entire post in Samuel L. Jackson's voice from Pulp Fiction. I think that's what the writer was going for.

Perhaps ctrl+pgup and ctrl+pgdn for switching tabs as well? It's a common shortcut in most tabbed interfaces.

http://gitimmersion.com/ - This is a lab taking you through everything. I found it very helpful when introducing Git to my team mates who had little to no experience with source control.

It's a bit light on concepts but is fairly practical.

I have the same problem.
