I think of it more like lightning, where the lightning branches out chaotically trying different paths to the ground until a critical path is found, and then the "leader" strikes the ground, and everything follows with it.

This is what people mean about DSLs needing to be small in scope. If you go past that scope, you need to completely redesign, or create two separate DSLs. Surely not taking a super small, specific, DSL like "what if we made redundant s

Couldn't upvote this hard enough. I fundamentally blame Sun and Java for this. I guess I blame James Gosling for Java, and Sun's aggressive marketing of Java in the 90s, along with the naming/marketing deal with Netscape that

Using JS/Node and React/Native, you can target absolutely every platform with a unified codebase. There's essentially no technical debt in choosing these technologies because if you start with a web app and then want to make

The most important thing I'd like to see is ASI ("Automatic Semicolon Insertion") removed/disabled in a stricter mode. Too many weird edges cases in the language exist, and it's now getting in the way of extending E

This is completely useless. Who even uses `i` to enter insert mode? I am almost always using one of the following instead: - o: open new line below current line - O: open new line above current line - I: insert at beginning of current line

Two-spacing is from the era of typewriters. Typerwriters had monospaced typefaces because of how they operated. One space didn't work well enough if the period is rendered center of the type block. To work visually for prose, you'

If you read the article and the spec, you'll see that any explicitly created variables will always take precedence over automatic IDs, so any globals will always override these IDs.

Finally, the feature I've been most looking forward to is finally here: - A shortcut to turn on the flashlight (The "Quick Tap" gesture can now turn on/off the flashlight) And this concludes all the features I was lookin

"Why am I sweating right now? Oh, the Nest set the temperature too high again!" And then after a few instances, I just turn off all the automation and set up a schedule like normal. Same with the "away from home" which s

Clojure, like Ruby, does falseyness correctly in that there's only 2 cases of false: nil and false. Everything else is true. This is easy to reason about, and it allows for nils to "flow" through your logic (especially with n

These are old CP/M filenames that DOS reserved for cross-compatibility. They "exist" in every single directory, as CP/M was a directory-less OS.

Worse: back in the day, you could type raw HTML into AOL Instant Messenger. Notably, being able to construct a link with whatever address you pleased, including `file://c:\con\con`.

I've been wanting to develop a similar app, but a PWA with WebUSB instead, so an installation is optional, and configuration is available on the go.

I've been thinking this for ages . We need more special contextual comments to change a file or scope to behave better so we can move forward and scrape away all the bad legacy of JS.

If this were a 60% board instead that could fold the display over to cover the keys for transportation, this would be an instant sell for me.

This is cool and all, but nearly useless for any experienced vimmer. I almost never press `i` to enter insert mode, and I don't expect most vimmers to do so either. My most common ways to enter insert mode are, off the top of my head..

Neat, but I'm talking about experience as a left-handed writer. I don't see anything indicating it writes better for lefties.

As a lefty, I can recommend the "Pilot Precise V5 Rollerball Pen" on the list, in 1.0 BOLD tip. Bold tips are a must so the left-handed angle-of-attack doesn't leave us scratching and gashing the paper. This one is particular
