Do you genuinely think Angular's template language and all the complexity it comes with is better than JSX just saying "anything between {} is plain JS"?

Of all the ways to write how your HTML is supposed to look from JavaScript, JSX is probably the closest to Javascript there is. It's a very simple syntax translation to JS function calls, and all code / logic is still plain JS. Ev

The better European induction cooktops have an individual touch slider control per "ring". I have some family members with those and that control model makes the touch thing a non-issue. No need to wait while pressing +/- eit

I love what she does here: https://youtu.be/XvDZLjaCJuw?t=949 , also demonstrating pipes and scripts. The input she chooses makes the whole segment pretty damn funny.

Stardock's WindowFX is probably the closest you're going to get. It's old, was never all that stable and never got super popular (compared to WindowBlinds), but it should work. https://www.stardock.com/product

Stardock's WindowFX is the Compiz equivalent for Windows. It still seems to exist: https://www.stardock.com/products/windowfx/ I remember trying it in the XP/Vista era alongside Compiz/Beryl and it

JSX is easy to summarize as: HTML where everything in curly brackets is a JS expression that gets evaluated. There are some additions (prop spreading) and restrictions (curly brackets apply to whole attribute values and element bodies only)

It's very easy to enable. But yeah, I will admit it's not 'production-ready'.

I've been using it since a few betas in on all my devices, with zero issues. Anecdata and my work is mostly Chrome(/ium) and Android Studio.

It doesn't work very well in office environments unfortunately. I gave it a try with my work MBP and Mac Pro, and the amount of cursor judder / keyboard lag was wild. It'd also just plain not work at times. I think things are

64GB RAM was available on the 2019 Intel 16" MBPs (at least). This comment was written from one of those with 64GB RAM.

The camera bump on bump on bump design is really disappointing to see. There must have been a better way to deal with this surely? I can only imagine all the dust and grime build-up in all those ridges, especially in between the three camer

Croatia is an EU member, but not a Schengen zone country. The ban is on Schengen zone countries, not on the EU.

No reason why you can't just generate random images and add them to the real database, indistinguishable from actual hashes. As long as the test images aren't public it's low risk, and even if they leak they could be removed

I wish they'd just offer the great current Mac app. It's there, it's fully functional and works great. This really is a shame. Electron apps are slowly becoming the bane of my existence. 1Password was the only native thing I

I guess there's a large pool of IP addresses used by residential ISPs that could be recycled relatively easily. When I lived in Ireland I only got a public IPv6, my IPv4 was behind CG-NAT. The nerd in me wasn't a fan of that on pa

Nope, it's really not enjoyable. To me it felt like fighting the car. I much prefer the "co-pilot" style of openpilot and most other lane assistance systems. Until you can trust your assistance system enough to not want to ma

Having done a Seattle > SF > LA and back roadtrip with a Comma 2 back in March/April, this looks really cool. Even with the very modest hardware of the Comma 2, it effectively takes all the stress out of highway / stay-in-la

I wonder if you can use a rhyme to help people. Sander, rhymes with wander (for Americans). Björk inspired me with her own brilliant rhyming word. I'll leave it up to you to discover what she uses: https://youtu.be/AGtM

I don't have a huge variety of airport experience, but after about 40 trips in the last three years it's an efficient security I value most. In Brussels Airport there's a single security hall with a huge amount of lanes that

It's wild. I moved from Belgium (generic company) to Dublin (Facebook, 2018) to Seattle (still Facebook, 2020) and my net income more than doubled with every move. And that's as a software engineer without a degree (dropped out of

VW group has a dual-clutch automatic transmission that includes an EV motor for their plug-in hybrids, the DQ400E. It looks pretty cool indeed!

I'd like this a lot, if it was discrete. I lived in Dublin for two years, and in my limited experience of going out the experience could always be summarised as "loud, couldn't understand anyone". If I could hear a littl

You haven't used the right flagship Android phones the last few years. Android on a recent Sony flagship feels smoother than iOS on an iPhone X to me.

It really depends where you go in Europe. In German mobile connections are notoriously bad. I've had moments where I'm standing in the middle of Aachen struggling to get a single byte through. Then there's Belgium (especially

The A mount is practically dead, it's been surpassed by the full frame E-mount. Only somewhat recent Sony cameras are supported by the webcam driver, and there simply aren't many recent A-mount cameras.
