And why did this war start? And how many military bases does Russia have, say, around Caribbean? What was Ukraine going to do with Crimea? People burned alive in Odessa? "Russia violated its treaty and invaded a sovereign country" - double standards at their best? USA/Israel being the number 1 terrorist/pedo coalition - nothing? Not even a strongly-worded letter? Fuck off already, the byproduct of brainwashing.
too little too late
then bloody stop sending troops to all other countries under whatever pretexts.
margin: auto, or flex align-items/justify-content are my go-tos

I initially read "42000 pinned out files" and sat there, processing, for a minute. Professional deformation at its finest.

I'm still a big fan of my Bowers & Wilkins px7.

React and its ecosystem is a pile of garbage perpetuated by industry inertia. UseState, useMemo, useThisAndThat where you have to guess whether that dependency will cause a re-render? Or 20 different routers, state managers, query builders? I'm not even talking about html-in-ts with `!!a && (<div>...</div>)` A stodgy, bloated, overhyped and misused monstrosity, that's what React is.

This could potentially open doors for short-haul e-aviation. Very interesting

yep PGLite + Go would be great!
That, and reduce the immigration ffs. Importing a city-sized population (500k+) every year? - Sorry mate, you just won't be able to build a new city every year.

The obligatory “To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”

All non-stick frying pans die within a year or so. We recently took the plunge and invested in a stainless steel one. Yes, it takes some (very little) time to adjust your cooking style, but that thing comes with a lifetime guarantee and you don't have to worry about accidentally scratching the surface. Win-win.

That was google's original plan with Dart.
I suppose it all depends on personality: some swe's prefer to write, some prefer to draw (I do both, but would hate to only have to deal a 1mil-lines-of-code fractal, but would (and am) fine with the 1970 approach).

slotchange is your answer. In the connectedCallback add the eventListener and inside your slotchange handler: const myBs = this._slot?.assignedElements();

Davinci Resolve works on Win, Mac and Linux. Switching to it from Adobe's Premier and Aftereffects was the best decision I've made. Oh, and it's free (not the Studio version).
Re:YouTube strikes again, it seems on Friday January 12, 2024 @06:19AM (#38966729)
People have every right to be furious about it though. Look at amazon prime: they've now introduced ads for paying customers. Want no ads? - pay more. What will stop youtube from doing the same? After all, shareholders must appeased. Where does it end?
