I thought they just dumped it overboard but maybe there are some ethical cruises... maybe.

I like Deno because there is no "install" step for users, you just run it.

trrrs is a wild thing to want as the universal connector... They are bad for any actively powered connection since the tip/rings hit EVERYTHING on the way out and shorting. Split keyboard users know that pain.

Honestly many companies would do well to use these services. I think we get too much into the idea our apps need the same guarantees as the large products out there. Define your SLAs and then choose the platform.

I agree, it's a ui/ux problem. It would seem that using the open file dialog should also request access but I'm guessing that was too intrusive and the user action is seen as implicit authorization. Security is one of those things that should aways be explicit though.

We can get stuck in our minds and lean too much on prior skills instead of fully assessing the problem at hand. More likely than not, given he was a contractor, building a trench and walls seemed like a simple solution to something he has probably dealt with many time and didn't think twice about it.

Sort of, electricity and magnetism are two sides of the same coin, electromagnetism, so it's waves in the electromagnetic field with the wire acting as a wave guide. (as far as I understand)

Veritasium has a video that goes over this. It was pretty controversial at release but it gives a good overview. https://youtu.be/oI_X2cMHNe0

And why magnets work due to relativity https://youtu.be/1TKSfAkWWN0

The legislation requiring this is silly, are there any studies at all which shows it reduces harm... I couldn't find any. It would seem safer for children, and the population as a whole, if they banned vehicles which don't provide adequate front visibility. Maybe even require sensors that will prevent the vehicle from moving from a stop if something is detected in front.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I've been doing meal replacements, i.e. Soylent, for almost a decade now. It replaced about 80% of my meals (100% of my breakfasts) the others coming from restaurants or when I feel like cooking dinner.

It saves me time having to cook, time having to plan, time having to think about the nutrition

I have zero health issues from this long term consumption. I have a full panel of blood work every 3 months and it's been nothing but good for those 10 years. Some people have a little digestive issues when starting but if you titrate into it then you should be fine.

“Optimized Battery Charging” on BigSur and later is supposed to learn your charging behaviors automatically and eventually know this without having to be told.

Get used to it or toss them in the dryer for a couple of minutes after they dry to soften them up.

There is also https://github.com/igor-petruk/scriptisto which would allow you to wrap any compiled language.
