Honestly, as someone that's been picking up OSRS again (and is actually now thinking about RS3 given all of the recent progress jagex is making on removing MTX in it!), I'd be good with that. I still like to play it myself without

I might toss it out there that upcoming changes to attr() [0] as well as typed properties [1] will add some interesting features. Being able to provide a value that's subbed into a stylesheet from the HTML itself is neat. You can try t

It has been funny seeing the tide come in and out now a few times. Though I will admit that each time, the ergonomics get better. AJAX as a pattern was pretty gnarly if you wanted to do a bit more than update a notification badge or comment

I think so! As far as I can google, it seems like everything available is new-old-stock or recovered discs. https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/we-spoke-with-the-last-person-s... Interesting little read I fell into while looking t

I think it's just a bit of an obscure way of saying total subscribers. "${verb}ership" like "readership" meaning the number of subscribers + casual readers of a magazine [0], or "viewership" meaning a TV s

I’ve been more and more confused by Apple’s product positioning for MacOS. They still have a sizeable “pro” (emphasis not sarcasm) market that spans across a very aspirational set of careers: Film, YouTubers, developers, photographers, arti

I mean, if there was only 1 engineering firm that made the iBridge, which represented nearly a quarter of all bridges out there, they might last a bit longer. They really made the bridge experience truly inspiring with the all-new glass I-b

It would be interesting to see you compare notes with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46446021 . You both seem to have similar uses for windows, but totally opposite experiences.

The example that comes to my mind is apidock for Ruby! https://apidock.com/ruby/String/split Though, considering how much information tends to get centralized in these comments, I think the wiki-like direction is

I guess there's two ways to read a ratio like that. Either A) the false positive rate rounds to 100.00000%, or B) the correct positive rate rounds to 100.00000% and the few that slip through are great tragedies due to "just not in

I'm sorry, I hope I don't come off like I'm minimizing a real problem here, but from the outside looking in, it just feels like an entirely alien line of reasoning that could only describe a solution to an imagined problem. H

That's a really interesting comparison! But does anyone know if any Apollo lunar lander was specifically notable at the time for the power of compute on board? I feel like the takeaway could be "wow, technology has come so far, th

I can't really defend Mozilla's priorities or business model myself, but I do agree that Firefox users create this massive pessimistic cloud overtop of firefox. From what little I know, the Firefox MPL license isn't restricti

Yeah I can totally see that working well! I think the main thing is taking small, specific steps that keep you in the loop, and less so about the actual act of typing the specific bytes that are fed into the compiler, though I guess I still

I love the name "software carpentry" haha. IMO, I found those specific example tasks to be better handled by my IDE's refactoring features, though support for that is going to vary by project/language/IDE. I'm

Neat! I would be interested to know how performance differs between CSS 3D transforms vs something like threejs that renders onto a canvas node for this specific kind of directionally-lit voxel scene. I would imagine that CSS transforms are

That's such a cool effect from just the choice of font. (Though I guess there are countless human hours spent on unifont and unicode as a whole) But I love the idea that even if your bronze age CAD guy wrote all the solid names in Line

Hmm... I sort of would've preferred it was JUST a button. I wonder if you could even make it perpetually powered by body heat + buffer battery if it's ONLY job was to emit a couple packets over BLE with some burned in ID that you

OH! Ok that makes more sense. `:` from the tutorial is `-` or `~`, because it's the first char after the pipe. I do lose track after that though, in my brain, It looks like the entire second part after the second pipe character should

Is it meant to do something? It doesn't follow the same cause/effect syntax as the tutorial, and plopping that welcome block into https://playground.nova-lang.net/ doesn't seem to do anything. I assume it&#x2

Every library I've had a library card for (Toronto Public Library 7ish years ago, and BANQ Montréal) have had O'reilly subscriptions for free! A few other people have mentioned it in this thread with specific cities, but check you

It's not always a good thing, but I love Ruby's ability to define new runtime-valid syntax that looks pretty much native to Ruby itself. def method(thing: String | "default value") the pipe operator seems to be

I don't think they claim the mold removes radioactive material, but that it absorbs a high amount radiation since it's producing so much melanin, and seems to be fine. Since it's absorbing so much, it works like a radiation

That is true haha, I think I'm mostly thinking about what the GP comment mentioned, in that it just generating this replaces what otherwise would've been a fun afternoon with friends.

"Web Components" is a term I do try to avoid though. "Components" is a word loaded with very specific meaning to a lot of JS folk, and it can be really hard to describe the ways in which a "Web Component" does
