Along the lines of adaptive structures that change depending on how they're used, I thought this article about how JavaScript arrays work in V8 was interesting: https://ryanpeden.com/how-do-javascript-arrays-work-under-

The thing is, React works with plain CSS too. I think a lot of newcomers see that JSX looks like React-flavored HTML and naturally assume that React will have its own flavor of CSS, but it doesn’t. There are libraries for CSS-in-JS of cour

Nice job! It looks like a ton of effort. What's the tech stack for something like this? All homegrown? I've wanted to mess around with screencast editing but programmatic video stuff in general seems daunting.

Your point #1 sounds similar to the method outlined in Profit First[0]. Theirs is a bit more complex and has more accounts (Income, Profit, Owner's Pay, Tax, and Operating Expenses), but the theory sounds the same. It's been a big

That default service worker setup was frustrating. Even for local development, it would mess things up sometimes. Luckily they turned it off for new Create React App projects a while back - so at least it shouldn't haunt any new apps.

I remember pointers being very hard to grok when I was first learning about them. And then once I was finally starting to understand, I saw a char and my head exploded. It took some time & practice for it to become second nature, but

I must admit, I didn’t know the origin of the phrase when Trump said it. I only learned about it after the fact, and passed on the link here.

Pretty much the only time I care about whether an app is “native” or not is when I have to update it. The CapitalOne app is awful about this. Every month or two (which is roughly how often I open the thing), it requires an update. Not a s

Nothing would stop you from doing that (import thing from ‘./downloaded.js’) but it’s Just Not Done That Way and packages aren’t really built with that in mind, so it probably wouldn’t work very well in practice.

I'm wondering about the practicality of importing from URLs. I didn't see it addressed, but an import like this will be awfully hard to remember. import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@0.50.0/h

Cool, I guess? My gut reaction though is that this would be one step closer to a world where we're running iOS instead of macOS and we don't really have computers anymore. No more terminal (unless you pay $4/month for the ter

A couple others have mentioned shell tricks. One of my favorites is using Alt-. (in Bash and Zsh) to insert the last argument of the previous command. Press it multiple times and it will cycle through the last argument of all previous comma

If you want a lightweight cache, check out react-query[0]. It's a nice abstraction around fetching data, and it handles caching out of the box, as well as refetching data when the browser regains focus and a lot of other nice things. 0

The implication behind “we don’t use Redux, we use hooks” is that they’re using React’s Context API directly as a “store”. A component at the top level has some state, probably using the useReducer hook, that state is passed down using a Co

I guess the size escalation is just like with cars. It seems "nobody" wants smaller phones or cars, so every time there's a new model they get bigger. As a person who does actually prefer smaller phones and cars, it's a
