I'm not the first to point this out but the website in question, which is mostly static, could easily be hosted on a VPS for at most a couple hundred dollars a month.

I used this to implement <yes-script>, the opposite of <noscript>, to be able to designate sections of a page to be hidden if JS was disabled. You can of course do the same thing with classes, but custom tags are fun.

Anyone have knowledge on how accessible SVGs are for folks who use assistive technologies?
Countless lives over the next decades are going to be lost due to decisions being made by this administration. Deaths and illnesses that otherwise would have prevented using existing frameworks and systems had they not been destroyed.

How does that square with the cost of education significantly outpacing inflation?
The money doesn't go to the researchers.

There is "think" and "super think" (there may be something in the middle).
If you use the word "think" at any point, this mode will also trigger...which is sometimes inconvenient.
Plan mode is probably better for these situations though. Claude seems to have got much worse recently but even before, if it was stuck, then asking it so "super think" never dislodged it (presumably because AI agents have no capacity for creativity, telling them to think more is just looping harder).
The loop of plan -> do is significantly more effective as most AI agents that I have used extensively will get lost on trivial tasks if you just have the "do" phase without a clear plan (some, such as GPT, also appear unable to plan effectively...we have a contract with OpenAI at work, I have no idea how people use it).
think / think hard / think harder / ultrathink

Did you try using a recruiter? Not one that works for a company but one that matchmakes between candidates and companies. My last three jobs I've used a recruiter and this worked great as a filter.
How do you go about finding a recruiter? (for technical roles like system engineers)

I am not super familiar with the windows ecosystem but my understanding is that scoop is a package manager similar to choco or nuget correct? is scoop seen as bloated? thanks
The lack of awareness is that the vast majority of users are not aware of and don't use scoop (or probably any package manager) on Windows, especially to install GUI apps, and that doesn't automatically make them "not sane".
