I honestly can't think of a single practical scenario where I'd pick Deno over Node + npm today. Bun, on the other hand, has pretty much claimed the performance crown for itself at this point.

So what they were aiming for in the last 24 years if not to get into space?

I do wonder if they can continue improving interconnect specs as with Thunderbolt 4 the cable seems to be already the limiting factor. It’s thick, expensive and only available in very short lengths.

The brain contains approximately 20% of whole body cholesterol, you can't get away with not eating fats. Your brain needs fats.

Interestingly social setups had 'billionaires' and 'everybody else' too, it was just way worse for everybody else. It's not like there was no unchecked ruling class there.

Why not just use a 100Mbs (4G) unlimited mobile service?

Don't forget that Japanese actively shame fat people! This is very much frown upon in Western societies but it works for them I guess.

Java people is not used to 0-days. Eclipse Temurin (Adoptium) is still in the process of building the release. Their target is 2-3 days after OpenJDK GA, even though according to the OpenJDK timeline the code freeze was March 29 for the April 19 release.

You have to decode what they say. Which is really hard because obviously working on the product yourself, you want to believe they care about your product.

For example: - "This is awesome! I would absolutely use this if it would just have this one extra feature it does not have now." --> I absolutely don't care about this product. Please leave me alone. I have better things to do.

For the Macbook Pros definitely. Just try a non-4k (or FHD) display to trigger the external GPU to see the fans spinning up. Any ultra-wide screen will do.

Standard double blind trial protocol: you sign up for the trial. You might get the actual drug or you might get placebo. It's double blind because not even the doctor knows who gets what.

Sometimes I think the biggest slowdown for most coders is the inability to make a decision and start working in a certain direction. Not-deciding also includes masquerading procrastination as researching a subject :).

Volvo dropped a security package too because of the chip shortage: "Volvo is contacting customers who have specified the Driver Awareness package to ask if they want to continue with their orders without the equipment, or wait until the kit becomes available once more."
