In Spain we have "en el quinto pino": in the fifth pine, and "estoy a tomar por saco", which badly translates to "to go get fucked in a bag".

One thing to note, CORS only makes sense if your API uses cookies for authentication, most APIs use custom headers, the Authentication header, or even url tokens, they don't rely on cookies, so most of the time, APIs don't care about CORS. People keep blindly repeating that accepting all origins "*", is bad for security, but the situations where this is relevant are really uncommon.

Oh no, the same scam again, when will people realize that putting dehumidifiers in the desert, where there is little to none humidity in the air does not produce significant quantities of water.

You can claim that your solution produces thousands of liters of water, but in practice its obvious that you cannot extract more water than what's already im the air, once you extract it, there is nothing left, it may work at first, but is not going to work continuously forever.

This is another example of a promised technology scam, pay me for the development and once it doesn't work, disappear with the money. People keep falling for it for some reason.

It would be funny for the AI to make such a complex plan and fail catastrophically because of a misconfigured DNS at Cloudflare bringing half of the internet offline

I don't use Windows anymore, but I understand if you have to. Recently I found this alternative to the windows explorer build from the ground up to be as efficient as possible https://filepilot.tech/ It's a cool project from a great programmer that has a presentation on the Better Software Conference showing how it works underneath. It uses older windows API functions that apparently are way faster than the modern alternatives.

Reminds me of Serial Experiments Lain, an anime released in 1998 that talks about the power of social networks and how companies will compete to gain control of the internet. Some of the predictions are outstandingly good.

1000x over a really inefficient type of solar panel, no comparison with the modern silicon panels, that article is trash.

Modern solar panels are cheap and efficient enough, the issue is energy storage, still expensive and unviable for large scale.

In the Space Age DLC you literally have to enslave the biters, they produce eggs that you need to advance in the science tree.

You should check out Ladybird browser, it's an impressive piece work, it's definitely no ready for everyday use, but it is proof that a small community can develop and maintain a project as complex and large as a browser.

It is probably the only browser in active development that is not being paid by Google, even Firefox gets most of its income from defaulting the search engine to Google

"Some of you will die, but don't worry I have plenty to spare"

Kotlin without a doubt.

Gives you more flexibility and freedom that most scripting languages. The syntax is clean and concise, the tooling is amazing and can compile to JVM, JS, Native and WASM.
