There is a good reason for it, and that's saving money. Computation on the user's device is free, doing it on the server/cloud costs money.

Serving static files that's cached in the browser, and providing a thin API layer is cheaper to host and might be worth it on the long run.

Great, this explains everything, thank you

So basically because you have more than enough rpms to maintain idling the engine knows to turn off fuel injection until it needs to exert force again?

I'm thinking of a scenario when you start on a level road, reach a slope going downhill, then reach a level road again. Then the engine first consumes fuel, then it shuts it off, then eventually on again, without me pressing the gas pedal at any point?

I'm thinking you think the engine itself has a brake on it.. No.

Of course not. I know it's not an actual brake but it comes from the engine's resistance to spin on higher rpms, so when you shift to a lower grear the rpm goes up, which "activates" this resistance.

What I'm confused about is the relation between idling and engine brakes.

Even without giving it additional gas the engine is still idling, so on a level road you could travel with a certain speed without pressing the gas pedal.

So what happens when you're going downhill, you don't press the gas pedal and the engine brake effect kicks in? Does idling not consume fuel anymore?

I think I'm missing some information that would put everything in its place for me.

I might be in the minority but I prefer to do it like this: Boolean(m).

It's the same thing but less cool. On the flip side it's easier to read when you have a line full of operators.

Using engine brakes can cause your car to not use fuel in some cases.

I've read and heard this from different sources (even driving instructors) and I don't get how it's possible. Your engine is still running, doesn't it use at least as much as it does while it's idling?

Edit: thank you all for your answers. I knew how the engine brake effect worked, my confusion was about exactly why the engine didn't consume fuel in the process. I now understand so thanks all.

I wonder how Svelte's code is built to make this tradeoff worth it. I've been using TS for a long time and in every project the compilation part was the shortest task in the whole build process, especially when you compare it with bundling or running unit tests.

The title makes it seem like it's a wide spread thing in the industry but according to the video it's 3 frameworks.

Yeah, it's additional work but I've found that really convoluted or complex type definitions usually mean you should consider refactoring. Of course this is a bit different when it comes to developing frameworks where you might want to support a bunch of different use cases.

Maybe I'm biased because I've been using TS ever since it first came out.

This looks kind of like the Imperial City from Oblivion, which has a huge tower in the middle called White Gold Tower.

I ordered one from eBay for a couple of bucks. It was fun to play around with it but got bored with it rather quickly.

What happened to the White Gold Tower?

Ever since the internet became so popular political discussion has devolved into repeating the same lines as some political influencer while silencing everyone who disagrees.

This isn't even unique to one "side". In my home country it's the people who call themselves conservative christians who have the most support and you're wasting your time trying to talk with them. They assume you're some woke agent on the payroll of some Jewish billionaire.

There's a difference between having a different opinion, being misinformed or being malicious on purpose, but everyone assumes the latter for some reason.

I won't argue with the book being mediocre (I myself enjoyed it but many others didn't), but it wasn't a faithful adaptation at all.

Not a classics, but:

• American Gods: they made unnecessary changes and introduced unnecessary filler plotlines until it felt like a drag to watch. The book already explored social issues, but the showrunners decided to dial it up to 100 and spoonfeed it to the audience at the expense of the actual plot.
• Ready Player One: they dumbed down the whole thing about hunting keys and portals, removed tons of important worldbuilding details, made pointless changes that ruined the spirit of the books. They should have made it into a series instead of a movie.

The problem is not straws but the single use, non recyclable plastic ones. They're a convenience and not a necessity. Same goes for cutlery, plates, cups, bags, wrappings etc.

There are alternatives like durable plastic ones that you can reuse, metal or paper if you want single use straws.

A few methods that come to mind

• put the side of the cap on the edge of a table and hit the top with your palm
• get a fork (or anything else), grab the bottle's neck a bit under the cap, put the end of the fork just under it, the middle part on your fingers, push the other part down to open
• find a door, put the bottle cap inside the metal rimmed hole in the door frame that the latch sinks into (sorry, don't know the word in English) and use it as a normal opener. Be quick as your beer might spill.
• get a screwdriver and a hammer, put the screwdriver to the middle of the cap and gently hit it with the hammer. The cap will slightly sink into the bottle and the sides will release their grip

Mixing metal with other genres or introducing instruments or elements that you otherwise wouldn't expect in metal.

By now most of these are considered to be subgenres of metal but for me it blew my mind when I first encountered them.

Bands like Ayreon, Avantasia, Subscribe, Therion, Haggard, Nightwish, Ostura, just to name a few.

I used it on a Mac and on Windows, for me it feels very modern when compared to bash (although I never was a bash expert).

However, the problem is that it's not installed by default on Linux (at least on most distros as far as I know) and Mac, and Windows machines might have an outdated version which you'll have to take into account.

So unfortunately it doesn't meet OP's criteria that it should "just work" without installing an interpreter.

I don't really understand your question. Like I wrote in my comment, I prefer to handle it depending on context.

It depends.

Should governments regulate what you can or have to say? No (except if you threaten someone, call for physical violence etc.)

Should individual people have the ability to ban you from their property or web service because of what you say? Yes (I prefer if they don't but it should still be their right to do so)

Should businesses? Yes but probably not arbitrarily

What about spaces that can be seen as public forums? It's complicated, maybe it should be handled on a case by case basis
