This is kind of where I've been thinking lately. If I can speak of human bodies like computer hardware, there is a physical limit to our hardware and how much data it can process, and yet intelligence seems to be something beyond the h

Anecdote: Jalapenos really bother me, but I love them. I don't know what it is about them, but they give me days of problems when I eat more than a couple bites. I can eat much spicier capsicum peppers than Jalapenos, and fresno pepper

Do not use Prettier with HTML. We can't use Prettier at work because it doesn't reformat HTML but actually rewrites it, taking liberties to insert new closing tags where it sees fit and where they were never present before. We fou

Further size reduction, you don't need the `this.` on the inline event listener, so it can be: `contentWindow.location.hash` and `contentDocument.body.childNodes` instead of `this.contentWindow.location.hash` or `this.contentDocument.b

This doesn't make sense to me - for a lot of religious workers it's not just saying words or leading a service, but something spiritual. It seems like they think they can automate away the clergyperson's humanity, but how can

Just being real here for a moment - Firefox probably wouldn't exist if Google didn't give them millions, so the continuing existence of Firefox is thanks at least in part to Google taking them on as a project. Now secondly, Firefo

I write HTML by hand and one thing that's come in handy is HTML's built-in functionality for author-defined custom elements. We use ICON-LIST which wraps a UL and optionally an SVG if you don't want to use the default checkma

Thanks, that makes a ton of sense, smaller/better by design but equipped to handle the same kinds of problems that JavaScript does. Is there any advantage to writing in Dart and transpiling that to JavaScript?

As someone inexperienced with Dart, but ever curious about it - is there anything more you can share about that, or what might have been? I end up writing almost all my work in browser-based JavaScript so I'm curious how different my w

Even though I've never used Angular, and do not build web apps at all, we have put custom HTML elements to great use at work. It's also not about locking down styling, but it's a neat way to package up _functionality_ and beh
