For camping and off grid living, recharging spare LiPo batteries via a ribbon cable or contact pins sounds like a massive pain in the ass. Give me a standard USB C based power bank, the thing that Solar Generators and many panels have suppl

Many are. Scissors, drill bits, even the way most people use a kitchen knife, they put as much force onto as small of area as possible. At certain differences in scale it won't matter (razor blade vs a single hair), but how a cut is pe

My gut reactions would be to still do whatever performance-related weirdness was absolutely required in a Typescript codebase and either alter the .tsconfig to allow for that project's required style, or to explicitly ts-ignore and typ
