I can barely follow German and I've been taught it in high school for a couple of years. I would not expect a German person to understand Dutch.

I'm a relative newbie with Nix, but I recently installed a Gnome extension through Home Manager, and then removed it again. It left some native functionality unusable because the install flipped a pref and the dev had forgotten to reve

Unfortunately I can't provide that, since I'm merely trying to come up with the reasoning of the author. If they have sources, though, that could lead to this reasoning.

Obviously I am putting words in the author's mouth here, so take with a grain of salt, but I think the reasoning is something like: such LLM-generated content disproportionately negatively affects women, and the fact that this got push

I think in UI design it usually is intended to refer to the main thing you want/expect a user to do in any given situation, i.e. having multiple CTAs is a bit of an oxymoron while having multiple buttons is not.

I feel like as soon as a particular type of student learns that this is used, they'll have an excellent way to get that test that they didn't study for postponed, and even have plausible deniability that they didn't intend

That's also why a number of cities here have started banning the use of newly-purchased non-electric commercial vehicles. The feasibility-impact ratio makes it an easy first step.

I guess that also means the first stable release of Cosmic - congrats to the team! Honestly I expected it to be delayed more, so good on them for pulling that off. Hopefully it's actually stable.

I kinda needed to see a video to get an idea of what this does. There's one linked at the bottom of the page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA5nHk-6UJc Nice work!

Haha fair, we do still suck at properly centering text, I'll give you that.

> the ability to reliably center things. Assuming one agrees that we even did regain it. Is there anyone who does not agree that we can reliably center things in CSS nowadays?

> a better experience (because there is no build step) I feel like the way to make both of us happy is to just strip type annotations, rather than doing full type checking in the browser. Which, luckily, is already making its way through

Heh well, that's a good source. Any idea if all your colleagues thought the same?

I wonder if, if you'd talk to a rescuer, they'd agree...

by Vinnl 11mo ago
Yeah that's kinda the point; you get all that, unless you don't run the build-step/in-editor dev process. And the only reason to make that step optional, is to not run it, which is a worse experience. So I'm not necessar

I'm waiting for that first point to. The good news is that they just started work on workflows, which should allow for that.

Immich was my gateway into NixOS. It did a really good job of showing how well it can work. I'm only a couple of months in, so we'll see if it sticks, but I'm also running it on my laptop now.

In my mind, the alternative is running TypeScript while writing and at build time. Type checking at runtime is at best redundant, and at worst an excuse to skip type checking and have it blow up in the users' face.
231.
by Vinnl 11mo ago
So then the user gets a type error in their face instead of the page loading? That doesn't really sound better than the developer getting that error while writing the code, which is what TypeScript currently does.

by Vinnl 11mo ago
Sure, but that's an orthogonal concern. That sounds more like a call to standardise Zod.

I think it's mostly a marketing play by Deno.

An important feature of TypeScript is identifying problems in your code before the user runs it, i.e. before a browser even comes into play.

What's an example of a thing you usually need to fiddle with? I feel like 1 and 3 are already true for my existing native terminal emulators, which I also never configure. So presumably there are things Ghostty does that aren't en

I have seen a number of attempts at exploiting this on our deployment already. Luckily I saw and was able to apply the patch last night, but as a European, it wasn't great to only get the announcement after dinner time.

I might be overlooking something, but if Mastodon were to decide to add an input field to your settings page where you could enter your domain, along with instructions on what static file to upload where (ie in .well-known), I wouldn't
