The column number can be negative. 1--1 vs 1->-1 vs 1/-1 ?

Wow, some people really can't stomach the idea of the Arabs and Persians saving Europe, do they?

but there's also merit to letting the kids choose to hit pause

Why is there a "but" there? Nobody is implying that children should be strapped to a chair with their eyelids propped open with toothpicks so that they have to watch all the gory details of a horror movie.

You might want to read the TFA, it's describing a "whole other language" they call Hyperscript

    on click send htmx:abort to #contacts-btn
    on htmx:beforeRequest from #contacts-btn remove @disabled from me
    on htmx:afterRequest from #contacts-btn add @disabled to me

You have never used for..range in Go? That's an iterator.

If the owner cannot generate any revenue from owning the plot, then it is not a "land-like asset" and it just doesn't factor into this discussion. A "land" in LVT is not necessarily literally land, although the way most virtual worlds are programmed, the "land" in the game often has functions similar to real-world land, which makes it LVT "land".

HN: NPM is full of trash, anyone can put any garbage package on it, even is-even.

Also HN: WTF Google doesn't just allow anyone to put any garbage on the Play store, this is bullshit.

Supposedly if you scan the sky long enough, you'd find a copy of Shakespeare's play written in the stars.

You say "just add copy and move contructors", but that requires function overloading, which is exactly why he spent a third of the article ranting about name mangling. The point is that there is a tangled network of interdependent features that make C++ work, and you can't ""just"" take a small piece to put into C without dragging a whole bunch of other stuff along.

The author first says that CL people usually avoid dependency hell:

When programming applications in Common Lisp people will often depend on a small(ish) number of stable libraries, and library writers often try to minimize dependencies by utilizing as much of the core language as possible.

But then try to expound on CL's extensibility using libraries:

No one has been clamoring for a new version of the specification that adds features because Common Lisp's extensibility allows users to add new features to the language as plain old libraries

Very contradictory, and these two paragraphs are in two adjacent sections.

All valid javascript programs are valid typescript programs, so typescript necessarily must have structural type, it cannot have nominal type without breaking compatibility with javascript, which is a hard requirement.

A poem that has been consistent and frozen for 50 years, that works 99% same across all vendors?

We tolerate the SQL as it is, warts and all, because as soon as you bikeshed it it will explode into 50 different dialects. Just look at JSON for example.

What, you want the largest exporter of bombs, missiles, and rockets in the world to scold another country for exporting a few tonnes of funny powder?

Because there's no rule that says signals should ever be created at the top level assigned to a const variable. You could create signal objects dynamically based on user input, no current proposal or implementation prevents this. So there's no way to do static analysis on signal graphs.

That is not at all how science works. Outside of Mathematics, there is no such thing as Truth, only conjectures of varying certainties.

Also, research journals are really just fancy forum boards where researchers in a particular fields talk to each other, and even occasionally shit talk. They aren't ever supposed to be a source of truth, and in fact the first thing we learnt as grad student is how to critically read a research journal article and try to poke holes in the study. We are supposed to assume that the articles are wrong, until we can be convinced that they are likely to be correct.

Sometimes I think Google Scholars is a mistake. The general public aren't supposed to be exposed to research literature.

A dusty car body is no more "filthy" than the soles of your shoes. Do you wash your shoe soles?

The Coriolis effect deflects the warm moist from the equator eastward, such that there is a wall of eastward wind right around the polar circles the blocks heat from reaching the poles. In a locked planet, the atmospheric current is more direct, so the heat distribution is more effective.

Dubai, Israel, Singapore. Why do you think only Europe can do this?

in any configuration language that supports comments

Notably, not JSON. In fact JSON doesn't support comment specifically to prevent this. And YAML was created specifically to add comments to JSON, in violation of this precaution. So YAML can eat the lunch that it serve itself.

They speak many different languages at home, but they all do business in Mandarin.

For an article about "lightweight javascript", it mentions the bundle sizes of its examples exactly zero times. Probably because the livewire bundle alone is like 40kb, comparable to react+react-dom's 45kb.

Are we using that definition of "world" that somehow excludes any other country outside the western alliance? Saudi Arabia and six other countries have more seawater desalination capacity than Israel.

Same reason a top of the line PC tower still has crappy stamped metal frame and crappy injection molded plastic trims.

The main contractor of the elevator unit is a mechanical engineering company, they contract out the control unit to the lowest bidder.

No, they literally have to. The accessibility tool landscape is a wild place, since there are so many different human disability types, and people need different assistance in different ways, so there is no one tool that can help everyone end-to-end. Some people can see, but their hands can't type, so they use a custom input method. Some people can't see, but they can type, so they just need to be able to hear the page but otherwise can interact with the page with their normal keyboard. Some people have issues both seeing, hearing, and typing, so they have their own custom setup.

The browser's focus has to be taken as the gospel truth, because that is the only thing that all these different assistance tools can agree on. There is no standard otherwise. If you want to be a smartass and develop a speech-to-text tool that does it's own focus management separate from the browser's, well now people who need custom input solution can't use your tool, because what they are typing into (browser's focus) is different from what your tool is focusing on.

20% of the internet generates 80% of the revenue, and the salary for the webdev. Guess how much of that 20% is PHP? And how much of the 80% is PHP?

Land ownership is indeed an illusion. Your "ownership" of real estate is contingent on the existence of a suite of government apparatus that can verify the authenticity of that piece of paper you call your land title. It's contingent on the existence of a military force that holds the border of your country, such that a foreign entity does not just come in and install a different land office that doesn't recognize that piece of paper you call your land title.

This is one of the core principle of Georgism, that the value and usefulness of a piece of land is tied to the infrastructure that the government has built around it. Therefore the titleholder should pay for the upkeep of that government and infrastructure, hence the idea of the land tax as a single tax.

That quite funny. Just like when some people formed a violent militant group to take down a violent tyranical dictatorship. Of course they would promise that they would absolutely de-arm right after the dictatorship has been overthrown, and immediately establish a peaceful democratic government with fair election. They absolutely would, would they? They would never turn into what they were formed to replace, would they?

The decode input needs to be exactly ten hangul character, and must be the first 8192 hangul characters in the unicode set. Obviously I didn't put too much effort into making this robust, it was just a fun toy project.

looked as close as possible to native apps

This is a meaningless statement, because even native apps don't "look like" native apps. No operating system has a universal style across all native apps, and some (Windows) aren't even internally consistent with the OS's apps.
