Not exactly the entire story. Browsers don't care about the extension, true, but they still need to know whether to parse the script as a module or not, by using: <script type="module">

I have no idea why you keep bringing up <table>. It is totally unlike CSS Grid and completely unrelated in every way. CSS Grid is for layout, not tabular data. It allows you to move the presentation of your elements around at differen

CSS Grid does the opposite of what you claim – it fixes the mixing of concepts that previously tied HTML elements to their layout, not make it worse.

What are you even talking about? It's a semver-MAJOR release. Nobody is going to accidentally upgrade to 4 and have everything break, unless they are very confused and cavalier with bumping their dependencies. So people relying on old

It would be odd to me to describe webpack as "shaping up against" Brunch. Brunch is basically niche by comparison – by # of installs, webpack is roughly 172X more popular. webpack not only has more features, but I wouldn't ex

Here's one datapoint, from building the single JS entrypoint for this simple demo site: https://exogen.github.io/layup/ First build: Parcel: 23.9s, 422K output size webpack 4: 9.6s, 399K output size

I didn't mean webpack specifically, rather that module bundlers themselves are a worthwhile pursuit.
189.
by exogen 9y ago
It's not a global setting, but rather something individual module authors can enable in their `package.json` – or, if you're working with a module that hasn't specified it, you can tell webpack to treat that module different

Naw, it has to do with tree-shaking imports. webpack might have a different option for what you describe – if not, most linters certainly do. `sideEffects` explicitly tells webpack whether it's safe to remove unused exports from a modu

by exogen 9y ago
webpack team, great work on this! The new `sideEffects` option is the big one we've been waiting for – lots of bundles are going to be much smaller. People like to gripe about webpack and JS bundlers in general. At my last company, bef

The biggest win I've noticed from CSS Grid so far has been from `grid-template-areas`. (The `grid-column` and `grid-row` syntax used in the article is kind of an alternate way to spell this, but I prefer using the `area` properties.) E

Doesn't get more "public transport" than using a public sidewalk via free manual transport. ;) (The fact that you can feasibly walk to work is an even bigger benefit.)

by exogen 9y ago
The most immediate benefit is never having to think about and munge class names. Your Button.scss would typically look like: .Button { ... } .Button--primary { ... } .Button--small { ... } .Button--alt { ... } And then

One improvement might be to use a pronunciation dictionary and map the emojis to actual sounds rather than characters. Having recently needed such a thing, I found that there are two widely available datasets: CMUdict and Moby Pronunciator:

Yes, I was talking about GraphQL.

by exogen 9y ago
I love GraphQL and use it quite a bit, but the "graph" part of it is a bit of a misnomer given all the existing graph database and query technologies. It doesn't really offer anything in terms of interacting with RDF triples

That’s an interesting approach to it (modifying how the package.json is processed). If anyone is wondering if their current package manager supports this, it does if you are using Yarn. Yarn has a `resolutions` field to override subdeps (ei
