I mean, one could argue that NPM ended up like that because of JS's terrible standard library that includes none of the basics people need all the time. I really like working with TypeScript, but that is the pain point that always come

Yeah, it's kinda sad how close we are to the specs and that they aren't getting much ahead. Higher resolutions just chew through that bandwidth quickly. Apple had to really hack around to get the Pro Display XDR to do 6k at 10-bit

Those curved displays look nice, but they only compare well in real estate to a single 4k monitor. I'd be a step down from a double/triple 4k setup.

I'd say it comes down to two big issues: the first one being the tooling just isn't there, and people don't want to do this stuff in code. The second—and I'd say probably bigger—issue is that video streaming has solved t

I agree there is a need to sell the need, and this page doesn't do a good job of doing that because while a looping animation is good for showing the animation, as you say, it isn't a good idea. I can see animations like these wor

The flex/grid stuff in Firefox's dev tools is really nice.

How do you define "one thing"?

The section "Works on any kind of image" is really misleading, as it mentions JPEG as a lossy format (alongside JPEG 2000) then says "FLIF beats anything else in all categories." It really needs a giant caveat saying &q

Could also just be a philanthropic act for the media attention. CaH have done a lot of advertising through weird (mostly positive) means, it wouldn't surprise me if this was just another example.

Their stance is the only one compatible with their core aims. I'm not sure why you would expect anything else.

Here in the UK, delivery was standard well before apps—almost every local take-away offered delivery if you phoned up and ordered. Maybe just because the UK is smaller and so they need to cover less distance? I often see people talking abou

Pro: You don't have to deal with the security hassle that is storing user secrets. While it is something where the best practices are very well described at this point, it's also something people consistently got wrong for a long

I get I'm probably not representative, but the obit actually made it feel really human and endeared me somewhat. Realistically, I think it doesn't matter that much? (Not that you ever want to throw users away, but in terms of &quo

I doubt anyone using these kinds of licenses really thinks they are going to "work" from the point of view of significantly limiting that behaviour. They do, however, act as a way to advertise the issues—this article being an exam

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply no features, just far less than TS.

I've played with mypy a little, and it's certainly not bad, but it does suffer by comparison to typescript, which just has a lot of really great structural typing features that mypy still lacks.

No syncing built in, it just works on a file and you can use whatever service you want to sync that file. Most of the dropbox-style services will work (although on mobile sandboxing can sometimes be an issue). On Linux keepassxc is great, w

I am actively doing this for a project of mine: https://github.com/Lattyware/unrpa I also do a MyPy type check as well with the actions stuff. It's very similar to the GitLab CI stuff, if you have used that.

They are pretty unique and are good, although they are slow to update the service and it's starting to hit some real issues for me. The most relevant issue for me being the lack of U2F (now WebAuthn, I guess) support. It is also really

The thing is, GitHub shouldn't care what you want here. GitHub is a social site, and the users accessing repositories are just as important as those that own them. You might not care if your account is compromised, but if other people

If you can talk your way past two factor auth, it is useless. I can see the argument for being forceful about prompting you to write down backup codes or whatever, but fixing that after-the-fact is something they should absolutely not bee

The distinction of "orbiting another body, not a star directly" seems pretty clear to me, but the idea of something being the naming example and then no longer being in the group definitely has happened before. The word "heng

Free speech is about not being arrested for expression. You are talking about companies being compelled to repeat speech, and that begs a lot of questions: what speech, by whom, how much relative time and visibility are different bits of sp

Free speech is about the government not punishing you for your expression, not that all speech should be without limit or repercussion in general. How would it possibly work if I couldn't be fired for insulting a customer at work, or t

The government shouldn't be able to lock you up for your expression, but we are talking about if Blizzard can stop an employee from expressing a view on their product. How can you possibly enforce that anyone should be allowed to expre

Your first examples are all completely different. The government should not be able to punish the expression of ideas (usual caveats, calls to harm, etc...), no. Beyond the government? It's just not that simple. The solution is compell

The difference between neo-nazis and democratic protest? The difference is content. I hate the tendency to fall back to arguments about free speech when that is not the point. Yes, of course everyone should be able to express views indivi
