TypeScript even took off after the earth had been salted by CoffeeScript. Many people were sceptical about TypeScript because they assumed it was as big of a buy-in as CoffeeScript - rather than it just being JS with some (mostly) strictl

"Skeptical" doesn't mean completely against their usage. From the author in the comment section: > “Embarrassingly parallel” tasks definitely make a lot of sense to do in Rust.

I think truly full stack is probably too much to ask: just accessibility is a huge area of knowledge, for example. I can fiddle around with back-ends, but I want someone more experienced to check my work or just directly help out with e.g.

I've been using this version for a while, presumably it's just gone under the radar enough. So please don't upvote this too much, haha.

That's weird, I thought the original also decrypted them. (You pass the key in the hash fragment, which your browser doesn't send to the server.)

Vertical tabs, an improved sidebar, and a better profile switcher are all in development for Firefox I believe, so that's something. And I guess the collapsed vertical tabs mode on Firefox gets pretty close to focus mode? (You can try

It hasn't been maintained for ages, so at some point you'll want to use some new dependency and find out that you can't. And it's very slow, too, if I recall correctly.

What's extra fun is that that insurance only covers treatments to a fairly low amount, just slightly higher than the price of your regular checkups. (That said, I believe dental issues that are the result of e.g. accidents do get cover

The funny thing is that people were calling for protecting the future of the children - and now we've just moved the goalposts to those children's children.

(Some extra nuance: it is of course true that, ceteris paribus, wearing helmets is strictly safer. It's just that the Dutch stats show that proper infrastructure is even more important, and cyclists are less of a danger to other traffi

Your source for helmets making up lots of deaths is talking about a recent increase in deaths, even though the lack of helmets has been a thing for decades. It's not the lack of helmets by itself that's a problem; it's the co

For last-mile deliveries in dense cities with good infrastructure, cars have to make detours and spend time stuck in traffic, I imagine. Plus, you don't need a driver's licence for a cargo bike, so you can also hire younger (cheap

I think Maciej worked at Delicious, which then got acquired by Yahoo. He then created Pinboard as a Delicious competitor, while Yahoo ran Delicious into the ground (as he predicted). Then when Delicious users had flocked to Pinboard, he acq

Only a subset of Threads users are currently exposed to the Fediverse, and I believe only partially (not sure if replies have been enabled yet, and if they are, if they're visible as regular replies, or under a separate heading?). I&#x

There are definitely jobs that allow WFH in the Netherlands. And there are loads that allow some hybrid form.

They force the employer to give a reason, and that reason has to be "reasonable", i.e. can be fought in courts if it's "that's just how we do it here".

I really want to give Sapling a try one day, yeah. Note that the workflow I described is indeed mostly a workaround for people, like me, stuck with GitHub.

by Vinnl 2y ago
Oh that sounds exactly what I need to simplify the workflow I described for the multi-PR use case. I'm going to try that out today, I just happen to have a use case for it ready to go :)

Thanks, but I do every now and then also want to rebase without applying the fixup commits yet. Just using shell autocomplete gives me the flexibility to do that with little effort. (And honestly since it already autocompletes if I type `gi

I'm using mostly this workflow with GitHub, with the main disadvantages being that it's more work on my side, and not obvious to my collaborators. But it does carry the same advantages of allowing reviewers to view diffs with just

You make it sound like someone was arguing for the green text issue specifically not to be solved, rather than just stating that that's only primarily relevant to US consumers.

That's mostly a discussion about semantics, which isn't that interesting IMO. It demonstrates the use of pure functions that avoid side effects, and argues that this is how you can get some important benefits associated with funct
