It's very obvious that they've unleashed a bunch of very junior developers on front end, it's I'm surprised that it still works. The previous AJAXed implementation had its haters, but at least it was very close to bare

"// Divides by 2" is the worst kind of comment and the unfortunate part is that thanks to "AI autocomplete" these will only be merged even more often [raises hand for forgetting to delete this instruction]

It's chaining without having to vary the return of each function. In JS you cannot call 3.myMethod(), but you could with 3 |> myMethod

The Philippines has similar billboards and painted jeepneys you might like. Lots of signs have now been replaced by advertisement banners though (Coke prints your store sign, all signs look the same, coke logo bigger than your store name)

Nothing is really needed, C89 was good enough. Dots are not the same, nobody wants to use chaining like underscore/lodash allowed because it makes dead code elimination impossible.

Some things are still impossible. I lost count of the bugs I reported to TS only to be told that "works as intended" or that it's a "design limitation."

Importing without extensions is not a TypeScript thing at all. Node introduced it at the beginning and then stopped when implementing ESM. Being strict is a feature. What's true is that they "support TS" but require .ts exten

You're probably a programmer. This is what your job looks like to everyone except programmers. Pure gibberish.

This post is titled HTML-in-Canvas, so you can find the point in the link. A lot of people just want the freedom of canvas rendering/shading and the flexibility of HTML/CSS. Current options may force you to create a layout engine

There's nothing wrong with the contrast, it's more than 10:1. For reference 4.5:1 is AA and 7:1 is AAA in WCAG

I don't see a problem with what you're saying at all. For reference, you can already have HTML in SVG in HTML in SVG. If you have a canvas-first page, where do you store the title? Right, in <title>, so <!doctype ht

Static hosting is essentially free. Add ads and it's a cash machine, not the opposite. Either there's something that they didn't tell us or they're incompetent. The only thing needed is a staticization of their website,

Are you suggesting that facts are useful in public debate? Everyone has an agenda and they will follow it regardless of what you show them.

You know what's even more annoying? Google Maps app on the iPhone uses the local currency for hotels and it doesn't let you change it at all . Oh, "local" as defined by your IP too, so enjoy your VPNs. The only solution

The crazier part is that it's spreading to more industries and more countries thanks to Americans thinking they should tip everyone everywhere. Thanks.

This is the most "just build your own Linux" comment I read this year. Just download some tool and be productive within seconds, I'd say.

I love unplugging the charger from my computer and charging my phone in a swift, 3-seconds motion. Likewise, I hate that USB-A is still everywhere and I cannot use it without carrying yet one more cable. Sometimes I have it, sometimes I d

You could say Google should have stuck to search, Apple to computers, IBM to punching cards. As companies grow, they want to diversify and not die.

All bets are on Passkeys, but I'm sure a lot of people can't deal with them due to lack of sync across devices. Passkeys are a great Trojan horse for password managers vs oauth, magic links, "password123" strings

As far as you know. People who don't "over engineer" also don't track errors. So you might be losing a bunch of users because your website is broken on their devices, and you'll never know. You can't repro it b

I'm the person who automates things. Before making things complicated, people would just copy paste crap from SO and hope it worked. Then came linters and everyone hates me. But you know the codebase is slightly less buggy/shitty

Correct. It's broken by default because you're the only user and worked on it for 10 minutes 5 years ago. Probably wrote no tests for it. Compare that to something like jQuery where all the edge cases have already been accounted f

Leaving the complexity of attempting to circumvent the great firewall aside, VPN isn't free. Not many are willing to drop £60+/year just to avoid identifying yourself on PH. Easier to find a website that doesn't enforce it.

Correct. It's not hard, just stupidly time consuming to the point of being unable to ever produce anything that works 70% of the time. I hate anyone who will attempt to craft their own 10-lines line parser and then ignore that it fails
