Re:The Future of CSS on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @05:08AM (#50177914)
Reactivity is updating the DOM whenever the underlying data is updated. That's one of the most basic reason for existence of all js frameworks. There's TC39 Signals proposal to bring that natively, but for now as said above the choice is either use a framework or recreate one. It's surprisingly easy nowadays using Proxy.

I read Children of Time after seeing it recommended here (awesome book btw), but I wasn't aware it wasn't a standalone. Great news!

These things are of course possible without the help of AI, but I don't think they're trivial. That requires some specific knowledge, and making it easily obtainable is one less barrier to entry for people interested in it. Such attacks would require both knowledge and access, and I think preventing both is a better strategy than focusing on the physical aspect only.

If these systems allow anyone with an internet access or a few grands to run an open model to obtain the necessary information to e.g. build a bomb, spread an infectious agent, hack water or electrical infrastructures, I think that creates significant threats to the population.

The necessary IQ for destroying the world is dropping. Op does not say it's low enough today, but that will probably come sometime. Denying the possible harm these tools are capable of doesn't help.
Without disregarding other lines of work, but from the neolithic revolution to the early modern times, the vast majority of the population were farmers. Quoting Brett Deveraux:

"Prior to the industrial revolution, peasant farmers of varying types made up the overwhelming majority of people in settled societies (the sort with cities and writing). And when I say overwhelming, I mean overwhelming: we generally estimate these societies to have consisted of upwards of 80% peasant farmers, often as high as 90 or even 95%."

There's no ultimate best player/build. When you factor in that each cart has different stats depending on the terrain, there's a "best" build for each track.
Re:The true power of regular expressions (2012) on Monday August 03, 2026 @12:05PM (#49157614)
You don't control these external resources, and now the explanation of what your code does is tied to a site that could be taken down tomorrow, leaving you with a dead link and an unexplainable regex.
Re:The true power of regular expressions (2012) on Monday August 03, 2026 @07:49AM (#49154506)
I'm wary of external urls in code. Some plaintext comment would come in handy for the day the link inevitably goes dead.
What's your time estimation for the last 2 points? Last I heard TSMC is not willing to commit dozens of billions to build new fabs for what might be a fad. Granted, they're not theonly foundry, but that's a signal nonetheless. Given the current craziness around hardware, I doubt the stabilization will come soon. Probably not before token costs soar.

I don't know for devs, but that's the message we get from upper management.
I've been using Feedly ever since the death of Google Reader. If you ignore all the ai bullshit it's simple to use and I've had no issues with cross-device sync.

Re:AnimeJs v4 Is Here on Thursday April 03, 2025 @03:25PM (#43574230)
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.
Re:Oncall shift should be Tuesday to Tuesday on Saturday November 23, 2024 @02:59PM (#42223453)
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.
Re:Can you convert a video to pure CSS? on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @05:23AM (#41377641)
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.
Re:Oldest cave art found showing humans and pig on Thursday July 04, 2024 @04:15PM (#40877712)
Not sure that was the case 50ky ago. That was during a glacial period, sea level was probably 100+m below current level.
Re:Wrong Map of Europe on Thursday June 13, 2024 @04:02PM (#40674019)
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

Re:Constellations are younger than continents on Monday December 25, 2023 @05:48AM (#38761531)
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.
Re:Bandcamp's Entire Union Bargaining Team Was Laid Off on Thursday October 19, 2023 @08:11AM (#37941773)
"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.
Re:Is Beekeeping Wrong? on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @08:10AM (#37234641)
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.
