Because when a language doesn’t supply common features out of the box, users implement them for themselves, and inevitably a lot of them do a bad job of it :)

It’s a web build tool, which does basically the same thing as every other web build tool — it takes a bunch of developer-friendly inputs (multiple files, typescript, JSX, scss, raw images) and turns them into browser-friendly outputs (singl

A couple of years ago every new Go project was being reported here; before that every new Elixir project was being reported; I don’t know if HN was around in the mid-2000’s but I’m pretty sure if it was, it would be full of every new Ruby o

Spotting lint problems in real time as I type is way more useful than spotting them after I submit a pull request and wait 10 minutes for the CI system to kick in :)

Ok, but if we use this definition, then “somebody took a screenshot of my Signal chat and posted it on Twitter” is proof that “Twitter can read your Signal messages”. That doesn’t seem like a very practical definition.

Does mozilla corporation income necessarily go to firefox development though? (I worry that foundation income goes to activism and corporation income goes to the CEO’s pockets...)

Having worked at a porn site and a FAANG, I’d say my porn work was more impressive — because payment processors / ad providers / hosting companies / etc are so anti-adult-content, getting anything done is a lot harder.

Very fair point :) All my other dependencies, using 5 year old versions is fine; it’s mostly just PHP that gets an order of magnitude less-painful to work with in each release, so being stuck a few versions behind is extra frustrating...

PHP 8.0 is 10 months old, and debian’s upcoming release will be upgrading from 7.3 to 7.4, which will make 7.4 the standard for the next ~3 years (even though it only gets upstream support for 1 more year)… I am starting to reconsider my pe

Will `screen ./command` automatically and seamlessly reconnect my ssh session when I roam between different wifi networks? Or do I need to reconnect to ssh for myself, and then run a second command to reattach to the screen session?

You can use screen/tmux, but they’re both more complicated and less good when it comes to this specific use-case. Personally I use both - mosh (or et) for the seamless automatic-reconnect, and tmux as a console window-manager.
