mobile first css was really useful when stuff like grid wasn't well supported everywhere yet. you could stick stuff in a @supports block, and older browsers just get the mobile view instead, which usually doesn't need grid. But ye

Signal's stance on third party clients is so disappointing. Telegram really has them beat there, although it has to be pointed out that Signal actually publishes server source, while Telegram doesn't.

that's the struggle of learning any new skill, though. at first you're going to suck, and you're gonna know you suck, but you have to keep going to stop sucking eventually. same with programming.

well, if you don't have type annotations, nothing is enforced, obviously. but you can pretty easily make it legacy-code compatible by just having type annotations be optional, but enforced if present

the proposal is for type annotations, which are to be treated as comments. i want type checking to be done in the browser, whether it's before the javascript is run or at runtime isn't important, the point is that i want the brows

adding type annotations to your code is opting in. if you don't want it, you can leave them out, or have them be removed during bundling. what's the point of having annotations that do nothing?

browsers are very conservative about breaking changes. javascript features that allow for loose and questionable usage is the thing that got us into this mess in the first place. once this is out there, there will be code using it in the mo

the moment they add this to javascript, there will be people out there feeding strings to number-annotated parameters of functions (and so on). and then of course no one is going to want to break existing code. that's why doing this in

I think it doesn't really matter one way or the other, anyway. Even if it takes 10 years to proliferate, at some point in the future, it'll be 10 years from now, and we'll be able to use it. depending on your usecase, maybe s

it should also be enforced by the language. and then you can still check and remove it using a transpiler, if you want (for smaller sizes + speedup due to lack of type checks). but if you're gonna add type annotations, they should do

I don't want this. I want real types, that are checked and throw errors, or are at least coerced on being passed into/out of methods (preferably the former) If you don't want to take the performance hit of type checks, you ca

does this allow only open source extensions, or proprietary ones as well? If it's the latter, is there a way to filter for only foss extensions? I don't use vscode/vscodium mostly because I didn't want to get suckered in

yup, I still use one too. it's great, way better than google maps. But I'm guessing it's a hard pitch to get people to even try a dedicated device for something they already have in their pocket, for free.

Yes, sorry, that was my roundabout way of saying that. Whenever phpmyadmin gets on my mind I just see red and wake up in a pool of sweat, several hours later, without any memory of what happened.
