   I could believe it, I just think it's hard to sell that to some people, as it's not very specific. The pitch just isn't that compelling, as things like "fast", "just works", etc. aren't very useful. I

   It's not obvious from that what the difference between React and Next.js is. React handles rendering UI components, you don't need either to fetch data from APIs, and displaying images and fonts is not something you need any JavaS

   I've messed around a little with this because I like the idea of zero-dependency websites. I think the biggest issue I have is how web components work. I really hate that JavaScript is required. At least with SSR you can have nice, sco

   Bugs not being caught by tests seems like a big deal. I recently discovered a bug in the nodejs repl and couldn't get the tests to fail, even though there was a consistent infinite loop. It made me think about how many other tests are

   Just wanted to say, please include some technical information if possible. I've spent time with and looked into developing for Clover and set up other POS systems. I've also tutored people pursuing their CS degree while bartending

   I think about this line of thought a lot in reference to Is The Man Who Is Tall Happy?[0] Seems somewhat relevant here. [0]: https://youtu.be/goalPsow7cw

   I added some more information in another reply, but Svelte has officially supported TypeScript for a couple years now. It provides some tooling to get started and there are also existing projects that may make certain things easier or more

   I may be missing something (I haven't used Svelte, SvelteKit, or TypeScript much), this doesn't seem accurate. I was going to link to a direct example, but I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're looking for. More

    SvelteKit isn't Svelte's UI framework. SvelteKit is a full web framework for serving Svelte apps. It's essentially Sapper + Svelte in a more harmonious combination. I have no opinions about any of these libraries and framewor

    There are specific comments already, but multiple successive slashes are treated as a single slash, in every case except when a path begins with exactly two slashes, in which case it's implementation dependent. https://pubs.

    It works just fine on my iPhone 12 Mini, which has (basically) the same RAM, so it seems like it's something else. They're basically the same phone in general though, so I would be surprised if it was a hardware issue.

    Ctrl-W in certain contexts (especially shells) deletes the previous word. Shells vary in their behavior, but in this situation partOfAWor^w is essentially the same as using strike through. It implies the writer started writing a word and ch

    I've always been curious, what do maintainers that are trying to pass the torch look for? Surely there are a huge amount of people that offer but they mostly get rejected. What makes a good candidate?

    Just to be clear, are you suggesting that wearing a hat causes some sort of damage to one's health? And further than that, a hat that kept one's head as warm as two one inch pieces of plastic? Obviously I don't have data to b

    I'm reminded of OCaml's `let rec` which I'm somewhat surprised to not see any mention of, neither here nor the w3c's GitHub issues ( https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues ). I was originally

    If I may ask, how successful is this? I feel like this is in a similar space to kiwico (not exactly, but it's similar enough I imagine both that they could quickly take over, and the average person is probably more aware of kiwico even

    The interaction of engineering and "use" by the Lock Picking Lawyer ( https://youtu.be/Ecy1FBdCRbQ ) was fascinating - "use" here really meaning "exploiting". It's a problem many here are aw

    I assume they meant aphantasia. As far as I know, there's no evidence that people with aphantasia cannot dream, however. Anecdotally, I believe I have aphantasia and I very rarely remember any of my dreams, but it does happen.

    I typed out a lot about how I've never compared my nose or leg to an elephant's trunk, but it seemed beside the point. The general idea was it's interesting to think of how we identify things, and this comment reminded me of

    Yes, almost everything is technically possible. I agree with the first three sentences. I don't have an opinion on the last. Again, I was just curious if there was any reasons I couldn't think of why the top-level's comments

    I agree! But, objectively, someone does think they belong. That's beside the point. I was curious if there are technical, business, or political (or something else) reasons why it's not possible (either theoretically or practicall

    That's totally fair. I also definitely agree that IJW is difficult. And people want different things, and have different ideas of what "It Just Works" means. I was just curious about what about the previously mentioned reques

    Is this sarcasm? I don't mean any disrespect or negativity, I just don't understand. I'm not familiar with this space, but I don't see why the aforementioned expectations are unrealistic. The only issue I can imagine is

    I actually just ran into this yesterday and completely agree! I ended up just C-c-ing out and used -p. The other thing that was frustrating with that was that the help text for what commands do is printed before everything, so if your windo
