Agreed, but that's a different conversation because gofmt is a lot less opinionated than prettier. Prettier goes well beyond style issues, and messes with semantics - it will add or remove parentheses in math expressions, add or remove

I think the real issue with prettier is that it's almost become a de facto standard. E.g. personally I don't like it at all , but do like Svelte, and Svelte's official (and AFAIK only) formatter uses prettier. Hence I use pr

Newp. DHTML as a term is way older, and referred to earlier things.

TFA is old enough that the "HTML5" here means "as opposed to Flash".

Very neat! Though I got prominent clicks and artifacts in both chrome and firefox. If anyone's interested, some years ago I made a wrapper library for things like this, to wallpaper over the famously hairy WebAudio synthesis API. Basic

> your statement that midori was the colour standardized in law since the 1930s In 1930 , not since the 1930s. The 1930 law used midori, but it was changed to ao in 1947 after that became the more popular usage. The page you linked was

I don't follow. Are you suggesting the link you posted contradicts something I said? If you want a source that the 1930 law used midori, see here, under 発祥期: https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%81

This is pretty far off base - for a start, the first JP law on traffic lights in the 1930s used midori, not ao. Per jp references, ao/midori split into distinct meanings around the Heian~Kamakura periods (so 800-1000 years ago).

Obscurity isn't involved. In set phrases like you're talking about, the "ao" is basically a category specifier, not a color specifier. Like aoba means young fresh leaves, not necessarily green ones, and aoyasai doesn&#

In set phrases it can refer to things of various colors, but on its own it means blue. Like if you use it to describe a sweater, people will assume you mean a blue sweater.

The word "ao" in Old Japanese already had the blue/green confusion before the character 青 was borrowed to write it, so if classical Chinese did as well I guess that would be two such languages.

I just scanned a few articles on this. TFA and its source don't mention this, but the first JP traffic law for traffic lights (from 1930) used midori/green, following US standards. But apparently newspapers mostly used "ao&qu

Hmm. Thanks for the link; I can see where that argument comes from. But doesn't that entire line of thinking disappear if one just uses scoped CSS inside components? Everything in that link assumes that all CSS rules are global, and it

To me the title reads very differently - it's saying that if you demand certainty you'll wind up treating something uncertain as certain, and hence believing something untrue. For reference incidentally, the title is a callback to

I don't think "Ngrams are wrong" is what TFA is about. The author isn't an expert on Ngrams and he's not sharing any new information about them; what he's really talking about is how data about language is unre

Horses for courses, but to me the original title was the forest and the stuff about Ngrams was the trees. As such I found TFA interesting, even though I have no interest in Ngrams or whether they're correct (which is why I definitely w

Sorry, HN previously had TFA's actual title - "Who Lusts for Certainty Lusts for Lies".

And boo, incidentally, to whomever changed the HN title - from the most memorably evocative title this site has ever seen to one of the blandest.

Japanese first/last names are largely separate, so it would be pretty safe to just find someone on wikipedia who shares either name and use them as a guide.
