You can embed HTML in SVG, vice versa and use CSS on both. In fact one little trick if you are doing a complex animated layout with SVG is to nest HTML elements with it that you animate it via CSS transitions or keyframes, which are much mo

I don't quite understand your comment. You can embed SVG in HTML and vice versa and you can use CSS on it.

Not OP: I'm in the same boat, but I found XML has some nice properties that I sometimes miss in JSON, given that XML is used well ("correctly"), such as the differentiation of metadata (attributes) and data (nodes), namespace

This is an extremely cool project, thank you for sharing! Edit: I'm not familiar with scheme/guile (only dabbled with Racket and later Clojure). Are these real bytes that behave like actual bytes when you manipulate their bits (un

I didn't know WasmGC was a thing yet! https://developer.chrome.com/blog/wasmgc/ Some things that are at first glance surprising is that GC'ed languages might ship a smaller binary, because they don'

Most of the so called middle class are just well paid members of the working class. Small business owners and others who get much of their income via ownership rather than wages/salaries are often indirectly but strongly dependent on t

No, it’s an idiomatic way of expressing who’s in charge of a given piece of data. There’s nothing in the type system preventing data races. But that’s orthogonal to channels. They just help you to structure the code.

That's not how I would characterize philosophy. A lot of things that are very important in the pursuit of knowledge like logic, science or ethics are philosophical concepts and branches. It lays the foundation of what we call "obj

Instead of pushing the external, side-effecting thing down the stack, I put it up the stack and call the logic that generates the data for it from there. Now I don't need to mock an interface, I just need to test data in/out. If y

Ok, but C++ is a compiled language. Even though compilation speed doesn’t need to be that slow, at least you’re getting something out of it. JS is interpreted and JITed. The whole point of using it is having a very fast feedback loop. The t

Breaking code that doesn’t need to be broken is the biggest redflag for a platform or foundational library.

At this point we should rename "microtransactions" to "macrotransactions". From a quick search: $500 for a character cosmetic: https://www.si.com/esports/league-of-legends/ahri-ban-rate $50&#x2

I agree with the general sentiment but want to add: Dogs certainly process human language very well. From anecdotal experience of our dogs: In terms of spoken language they are limited, but they surprise me all the time with terms they have

There are certainly cases where type hints could be leveraged. But ultimately the way a JIT like Turbofan works is that it will do better optimizations if your JS code is already monomorphic (functions signatures, object fields and so on).

I love how you misspelled it as „gorilla marketing“. That’s exactly the kind of humor I‘ve seen on the author‘s social media posts.

Htmx is a very small, mostly AJAX related library with a nice structure that helps you do this in a principled way. There’s nothing special about it other thab doing pretty much exactly what you’d want.

You could call the data you generate for the tests "mocks". But they really aren't "mocks" in the sense of behavioral mocks via IoC/DI and you don't need to manipulate them via some kind of interface in or

by dgb23 2y ago
Put a small data interface around your IO, have it return DATA | NOT_FOUND etc. Then your tests don't need behavioral mocks or DI, they just need the different shapes of data and you test your own code instead of whatever your IO depen

To me the interviewees didn't come off as you describe at all. They are discussing the subject matter, which is the focus of the book "craft of programming" (see: subtitle). Also most of them (at least) are known to have a fo

Honestly GP is making two very valid points though. Something that Clojure does is differentiating between () = lists of calls, [] = vectors (the go to sequential data structure), {} = maps. This definitely helps the eye to see more structu

Thank you! I read the article about quality attributes you linked. Interestingly it mixes attributes that are measurable, like performance and availability, but also ones that are very hard to measure like extensibility and adaptability. Th

We have or rather could have data and metrics. We just tend to ignore them outside of specific domains. For example, from glancing at this summary and table of contents, it seems like there’s no to little mention of performance metrics. Wha

This is an effective, simple solution if the application doesn't have transactional constraints and authorization. The user is in full control of the data - and that's a good thing. It becomes a bit more complicated if the data ha

You might have misunderstood the quote? I think they said "apprenticeship" to emphasize practice over theory.

I identify as a craftsman but I resonate with the above comment. Ultimately programming is half technical (what does the computer do) and half human expression (reading and writing code). The latter [0] is really more of an art than a scien
