Man, how awesome would that job be?

I will agree with this ... to a point. An endless journey, often fraught with physical and/or emotional pain, without any kind of satisfying destination, would be completely miserable.

The point is that you have to enjoy what you're doing. If the journey is completely miserable, fraught with physical and/or emotional pain, then just stop. Go do something else that you actually enjoy.

Do you believe Putin cares who he inconveniences?

I have said this before, and I'll say it again. Our current, and foreseeable future, AI is more akin to the computer on the Enterprise NCC-1701* than it is to any sort of sentient being.

In general, I hate frameworks, and not just JavaScript frameworks. Firstly, for the reasons she describes; they do change quite frequently and break stuff. Secondly, I don't see it saving any more time than using several nice libraries. Not only do you have to learn JavaScript, Java, C#, etc. but you have to learn the framework syntax as well. I will, obviously, use a framework at work when I have to, but for my personal projects, I try to "hand roll" as much as I can with vanilla languages.

This is why I like things like React and Astro, for the most part it is just JavaScript in the end. Other than JSX which is already familiar from using HTML and has applications beyond React

I am ... confused by your statement.

To simulate a Godzilla incursion and check if the movie where Godzilla attacks San Francisco makes an accurate depiction of what would happen.

For science.

The real question is would a Godzilla incursion be good for property values (novelty, tourism attraction, remove some housing stock) or decimate them (safety concerns, change the spirit of neighborhoods).

Depends on the cost of Godzilla insurance, which currently is quite low. Lock in now!

Yet another great benefit of open access to prediction markets! /s

Died of "sadness" ... that's incredibly sad. I mean, I know it's possible, but it seems so surreal to hear.

It's incomplete without the rest of the sentence: "a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life"

Grief is not just metaphorical, severe bereavement can affect health in very real ways.

yes, stress hormones may be one cause and can harm a lot of tissues

Uh, oh ... AI is in for it now. It has rankled the ire of lawyers. ;-D

I tried to implement flood-fill for a JavaScript project I am working on. I found out quickly that recursion was NOT the best way to do this.

I was following this "live" on Reddit, where, supposedly, nine Redditors were posting all the events. It was a wild ride. I'm glad it was a non-event, and everybody is safe.
