You can do it, but that undermines the whole point of React: fine-grained reactivity. If the child component had been a React component instead, the children would have participated in the virtual DOM, and React could do a minimal DOM upd

Agreed. The way I explain it is: suppose you have a `<super-table>` element, and you have a child slot called, for example, `<super-row-header>`. Presumably you want to write some JS to transform the slotted content in some way,

HTML elements can style themselves now using the @scope rule. (It's Baseline Newly Available.) Unlike the "style" attribute, @scope blocks can include @media and other @ rules. You can't get more self-contained than this

I've reviewed this and your other comments on the thread, and I think you're making a mistake, believing that to solve the loneliness epidemic, you primarily need to "reach people." As long as leaving the house and makin

If you're looking for individual advice, instead of "solving" the whole epidemic, then here's mine. To solve loneliness for yourself, you've got to get out of the house more. But, deep down, you already knew that, r

This is answering the wrong question. You're answering the question, "In a loneliness epidemic, what can I do to be less lonely?" Your answer is to use self discipline (which is hard) to get out of your house consistently,

Not really. At a buffet restaurant, if you could take the food out with you, you'd takeaway more food than you can eat at one sitting. OpenCode users and Claud Code™ CLI users use tokens at approximately the same rate. This is more lik

As far as I know, OpenCode sends (has to send) the same data to Anthropic as Claude Code™ CLI (especially if they're going to successfully imitate CC™ in order to access cheap subscription pricing).

by dfabulich 9mo ago
For folks not following the drama: Anthropic's $200/month subscription for Claude Code is much cheaper than Anthropic's pay-as-you-go API. In a month of Claude Code, it's easy to use so many LLM tokens that it would ha

This looks really cool, but I'm not going to use it today, because it only supports SQLite, with Postgres and SQL Server "coming soon." This seems like a very odd starting point, especially for a paid tool. I don't hav

Mozilla's problem is unsolvable. Firefox gets 90% of its funding from Google, putting Google effectively in control of Mozilla. Ideally, Firefox would be financially supported by its users, like Wikipedia. But that requires ads naggi

No, passkeys haven't added a new general lockout issue, because Apple, Google, etc. don't allow you to create an account where you can only login via passkey with no external authentication factor. They require you have something

The author still has one last misconception about passkeys, namely that if you lose a passkey, you have "no recourse." People wrongly think passkeys are like Bitcoin wallets, where losing them means there's absolutely nothing

That's entirely right. Products have to transition from fast-moving exploratory products to boring infrastructure. We have different goals and expectations for an ecommerce web app vs. a database, or a database vs. the software control

XSL is a Turing-complete functional programming language, not a declarative language. When you xsl:apply-template, you're calling a function. Functional programming languages can often feel declarative. When XSL is doing trivial, fun
