The thing is that this is a CSS change, which makes it declarative, which means it would almost certainly not "break" anything. Also, if it were made optional via a personal setting or by hooking into the user's system-level

Most of those extensions work by just inverting the colors of the entire page. Pretty unideal, compared to an intelligently-written dark theme.

The problematic thing about code is that it spans the entire spectrum between "five-minute fun project that will never affect anyone but me" and "world-shifting force". I don't think anything else humans do can cl

Update: feel free to continue adding recommendations but I started reading Crafting Interpreters and it seems like the perfect difficulty/depth balance, so I'll probably stick with that.

Wow, Beazley's course appears to be live, not a video series I'm okay with paying, but my schedule wouldn't allow for a full-time middle-of-the-day course

I saw Crafting Interpreters but I wasn't sure if it really covered compilers or focused mainly on interpretation (I know there's a lot of overlap, but still). I have done basic Lisp interpreters before in JS/Python and even d

Also V8 underpins Node, which has many more legitimate use-cases for that much memory. That said I think we need some sort of user-facing permissions constraints for memory usage and/or webassembly execution. I fear that in practice th

The couple of times I've made something with Mongo, I've always just found myself defining a schema in the source code anyway. As long as some code eventually reads the data there's no such thing as "no schema", the

I didn't see the pricing; that's more affordable than I would've thought, especially with the rent-instead-of-buy model.

I think people think that criticizing others by over-applying perceived HN tropes makes them sound intelligent and "in the know". I wasn't shooting it down, I was just expressing skepticism toward the complexity of the soluti

Interesting, but I'm skeptical it could make some semblance of normal life "safe" purely through occupancy counts. It also seems like a likely very expensive solution to something that could be solved with a handheld clicker.

I'm not saying remove it from the dev cycle; you can stand up a remote server for whatever testing happens during your normal workflow without a) buying a physical server box to use as your workstation, or b) constraining yourself to w

Just reading the part about the ensuing JavaScript implications gave me a stress-headache. Bless the people who are willing to work through these kinds of issues so the rest of us get to use the result.

Interesting, but I'd think that just running your profiling in a server environment would have the same effect as doing everything in one, no? And for much less hassle

There's a difference between "the compiler is faster when run at the CLI" and "the language server is faster". A good language server remains responsive by doing quick, partial compilations on just the section that

It certainly isn't completely raytraced, because current hardware can't support that. If they use the new hardware, they're using it in some kind of mixed mode. Whether that means only for certain materials, or whether they

For a while there they really tried to overlap. Unity's been making a huge graphics push over the last five years - it actually had realtime GI before Unreal did, and wasted no time telling the whole world about it: https://
