Zen Garden is pretty much the opposite of what one should do nowadays. Someone wrote some markup and sprinkled a ton of CSS hooks on top and then someone else came along and wrote the CSS. It uses these 12 IDs: css-zen-garden, design-archi

It does work, but you need a browser which supports all of the used ES6 features (even in sloppy mode). As far as I can tell, it should work in Microsoft Edge. It will work in Firefox once they enable `let` without specifying the script ver

The one at my local university dispenses chilled water with light carbonation. I wish I had one of those at home. Tap water doesn't get any fancier than this.

Interesting data, poor presentation. The tables need some formatting and colors would be nice, too. Instead of "slower" and "faster" it should be just a factor. So, 2x would mean that it takes twice as long and 0.5x woul

It's not an issue since using a non-hoisted variable before it was declared is an error. Your editor should immediately highlight this error with a squiggly line.

Yes, I "dare" to have an opinion on that syntax. I like it from a theoretical point of view. It's very uniform which is convenient for implementers. It's brilliant, really. However, I dislike it from a practical point of

"This stuff" was referring to the entry point. I didn't complain about parenthesis. ASM's syntax is also extremely simple, but that doesn't make it easy to use, does it? If everything looks the same, it's hard

The example was taken from Wikipedia's Scheme article. I do not know how to write Hello World in Scheme. By the way, I really like how everyone's Hello World looks different.

Best? If we'd all agree on what "best" means, we wouldn't discuss anything ever. Scheme and all the other Lisp variants look terrible to me. Having an excessively simple syntax doesn't mean that it's nice to us

They meant something like "var n = Date.now". However, there is no guarantee that this will work since it assumes that `this` isn't used by that function. E.g. if you want to do something like that with console.log or documen

Norwegian with Sámi has a lot of collisions. With the regular Norwegian layout, the only collision should be µ (M + AltGr).

AltGr is used by many layouts such as German, Turkish, French, Polish, and US International. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key Also, this was supposed to be fixed in 1.0. I don't know why they decided to rel

by ahoge 11y ago
Eh. Why is 1.0 out already? Keyboard layouts which use AltGr are still broken. E.g. I can't type '@', '\', and 'µ'. Yes, I can't write metadata annotations or escape some characters.

Since ES5, you can't use `with` in strict mode. Well, you shouldn't use it anyways since it's confusing/ambiguous and it's also terrible for performance.
