Lately I've really enjoyed writing small apps in vanilla TypeScript. Since the TS compiler generates JavaScript that works in modern browsers and those also support the module syntax natively, you can get away without using NPM and a b

Dweets are pretty nifty. I'm constantly amazed at what people can accomplish in so few characters of code. To me it feels like magic. It reminds me of visualisations made for WinAmp back in the day, there too the community came up with

I would imagine the escape system is only used when there is something very wrong with the flight. In that case there is usually no hope of recovering the rocket anyway (if it didn't explode, could it make it to the landing site?). The

But when the trees die, new trees will grow in the same area, sequestering more or less that CO2 that was emitted from the dying tree, no? Would this not turn the forests into a permanent CO2 sink, at least on a rough scale? Or do they sequ

Personally when I write webpages, I turn on VoiceOver on my Mac and run through the page's features. Just doing that usually points me to a few pain points that I can alleviate with ARIA and different HTML structuring choices. For hard

Something like this is already in use in Finland. AFAIK it's at least for electronics, cars, car tires, and plastics. The manufacturers/importers are responsible for handling their recycling costs and so they put the cost into the

Hmm so when a forest grows, it sequesters a certain amount. When the trees start dying, they will start releasing it. But when the trees die, new trees will start growing in their stead and sequester the CO₂ released from the dying trees. I

There's a lot of talk about planting trees now with TeamTrees and other similar things. I'm wondering what we will do with all the trees then when they have stopped growing and thus mostly stop sequestering CO₂. Trees don't l

The problem with the last code snippet is that it looks like mutating the original value, and that would mislead newcomers to the language.

Session ID in URL is a terrible idea because guess what, people share links with each other. Example: A school enrollment system in Finland logs you on with another person's account if they give you the link to a page they are viewing
