In that instance, you are right, but there are often cases where you need to do multiple queries / updates spanning multiple tables in a single transaction, then you do need a generic transaction wrapper.

Be aware that it is bits, so 62.5kb. But I agree, the internet is still usable with that.

> Figma runs untrusted user plugins in your browser by running them in a QuickJS engine that is compiled to Wasm.

According to the linked blog article, this is not what they are doing, but rather an option they explored. They use JavaScript Realm shims to isolate the execution.

Curious, what did you get out of it? Counseling? Some action plan? A reflection? Seems intriguing to do, but would like to know how it helped you exactly if you don’t mind sharing.

That’s true, at least I would have eaten it. I did leave out boiled eggs with holes after cooking them for at least a day in the past. It depends of course, I don’t live in a super humid and hot climate, results may differ there.

Does the same apply for cooked eggs? I would have thought all bacteria is gone from the shell after the process, making EU and US cooked eggs virtually the same. A short search seems to agree with that.

That egg was totally still edible, even if you pierce it for the cooking, it should be good for at least a few days. If you do it right, it can be weeks. In Germany you can buy cooked eggs in the super market and they are not refrigerated.

Had a similar thought recently: With the advent of AI, custom software became extremely attainable. DHI syndrome suddenly becomes less of an issue - and can actually become a perk, as you build the most minimal software that works for your org, skipping potential vendor / saas fees. Really curious how the landscape of software will change in the next years due to that.

Can recommend visx as well, it's great as it's basically a thin layer around d3, giving you maximum flexibility while providing lots of built in components to get you started.

Maybe she is in a holdback experiment. To understand how a feature affects the metrics (such as running ads), they often have some people in a holdback. I worked there and we did have such experiments for our features.

I think it’s that a paper submitted by one of the most famous authors in the math field is not auto approved by the journals. That even he has to go through the normal process and gets rejected at times.
