An unintended consequence of that approach is that to get two colours to match visually, they would need to be specified in the same colour profile. Say there is a background colour in sRGB and an image in P3, and both should display the sa

Yes, in other words compression can move information from the content of the data (which is encrypted) to the size of the data (which is not encrypted).

Thanks for these questions. Initially it wasn't clear to me what the difference was either, but now I understand the distinction a little more. The ORMs discussed in the article map a whole object model to a whole relational model. The

Regarding the hack to make function calls: if JSX elements start with a capital letter, then the pragma is ignored, and the element name is used as a local variable name instead, e.g.: transform("<Foo id = 'my-element&#x2

Would the rotation of the earth give some clues? Eg, the detectors are rotating, so the strength of the signal will change over time, assuming the signal lasts long enough.

Typing makes it easier to write a "find all references" function. Types distinguish whether a call to foo.bar() is calling the same bar as baz.bar(), which makes it easier to rename Foo's bar wherever it is used, but leave Ba

The signature panel is not permanent either, on at least one of my cards it has rubbed off to reveal a strip of "void void void" underneath.

Using TypeScript's user defined type guards instead of a switch looks promising here, inside the 'if' the actions are type checked.

Interesting to compare with TypeScript, which runs into similar issues. Before TypeScript 1.1, the intelligence was quite slow, but is now fine even for large projects. Third party libraries often have type definitions in the DefinityTyped

Components sharing styles is the same as functions sharing constants, so there isn't a fundamental difference here. One benefit of sharing constants is that you can use, eg, TypeScript to compile-time check that all of the constants ar

If it defaulted to yes, then running it would be, fuck<return><return> which is probably good enough. (Pressing the same key twice is pretty much the same as pressing one key, but pressing two different keys is harder.)
