It does have actual genuine uses. I'm in the process of recording a series of tutorials for my peers but I'd like them to hear things in my voice so it doesn't sound like I have offloaded the work to someone else. I don'

They seem to have a blog post on that: https://trynova.dev/blog/why-build-a-js-engine It reads like an experimental approach because someone decided to will it into existence. That and to see if they can achieve better

This is a non-starter for many larger companies. With supply chain attacks being what they are currently, this would directly prompt Security teams to block this outright.

Just to add a bit to the excellent list this thread has collected: https://github.com/kuchin/awesome-cto Some hit-and-miss there but I discovered a lot of great advice.

You could make the same argument backwards though - many people may find it easier to do deep copies rather than throwing extra software they might not necessarily be familiar with.

by VPenkov 3y ago
I'm not sure if you're asking why deep copies are useful or something else. Maybe you're handing over your data to a library developed by someone else and you want to make sure the library cannot mutate your original data, so

It is very frequently needed when you're working with a component framework like React or Vue. Typically leaf components shouldn't mutate properties directly but rather emit a changed version of the original data they receive. But

No, you're right, and I should have set the expectation that you can't really get into deep thinking mode that more demanding tasks require. But a lot of it can be discrete or boilerplate. While it's not muscle memory yet, le

I was a high schooler when I was learning to code. I had a laptop but only the breaks between classes to do it. So what I'd usually do was get up in the morning and learn something, then sporadically practice and experiment with it for

There are alternatives throughout Europe. The Balkans have Emag, Benelux has bol.com. I think in both regions Amazon is less popular. I'm sure there are other examples.

Heh back in the day I memorized it by remembering that if I didn't know it, I could get myself in TRouBLe.

It's the closest thing to a quote without being a quote. Enabling interpolation for old syntax would break old websites that display strings that aren't intended to be interpolated. If you're curious enough, I'm sure you

One that I feel is underappreciated is the inline translation of whatever website you are browsing. I don't speak well the language of the country I currently live in and Chrome really helps. I haven't really found a comparable fe

I was thinking the same but also I suppose it's also easier for people to sell stolen bikes so I'd be cautious.

There's a lot of division between frontenders and non-frontenders. Project like this help making frontend concepts more accessible to other developers. Great way to make things simple here!

Here's a fascinating post by it's author detailing so many cool aspects of it. I hope they've ported his work over in the new task manager. https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/gqb915&#

This looks like a lot of fun. I'm curious, where did inspiration come from? I love playing creative versions of classic games like that and if something inspired you to build this, I'd like to try it too :) This reminded me of a p

Makes sense. In 0.x.y releases, any version changes are allowed to have backwards-incompatible changes. Authors typically use "minor" version changes to indicate this. https://semver.org/#spec-item-4

Presumably, but they could always add more heuristics like tracking viewership spikes. Sounds like they'd have a way to append more checks and were aiming for "good enough for now".

Sort of but not really. Operating systems usually come with a mostly-known set of fonts, however major updates sometimes change or iterate on fonts. Also, installing certain Office and/or design software adds more fonts. But this is wh

I like it. It's easy to be against change and difficult to get behind it. Maybe in attracting developers who criticize it, some will end up finding something educational. The homepage could be more useful, especially around the ways to

You've got this backwards. They collect the fee from you, not the other way around. They do so until you run out of money, then they close your account. If you have money in your PayPal account, now is the time to withdraw it. If not,

Charlie Temple are cheap and okayish. If you don't use glasses full-time, they're a good option, otherwise not so much. Or at least this was my impression from 3 years ago. My partner is a full-time user or Ace & Tate and she&

Is describing them as bad related to their ease of use or is it related to technical shortcomings? I use PGP very frequently and I'd like to know what's bad about it so I could maybe look for alternatives.

Very exciting. I wonder if :focus-within is on its way out as a result of this. Granted, it would have a lower specificity than, say, .bordered:has(input:focus).

Put an item (e.g. a potion) on your belt. Then drop another item (e.g. a stack of coins) on the ground, then walk away a bit. Click on the coins on the ground, then the instant before it gets picked up, click on the potion. If you do it cor

This is indeed a problem with all indie developers, but look at it from another angle - what are you really losing if support stops? If you'd still be getting what you've paid for when support ends, then it's a lot easier to

It's better to start late than never. You probably have only a handful of high-value accounts. Emails, hosting, domain names, utility providers, social media. Then you can focus on anyone who has your private data. E-shops and such tha
