Cljs setup for this case probably would require a bit of scaffolding. While using https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint perhaps would be pretty straightforward. Albeit you're gonna lose the type-safety guarantees

It's not about "having" or "not having" keys for specific actions, it's all about freedom and feeling of control. When you take and apply the idea of modality, you quickly realize that you are no longer constra

No, as far as I know, at Apple, this is strict - you cannot contribute to OSS, period. Not from your own equipment nor your friend's, not even during a vacation. It may cost you your job. Of course, it's not universal for every te

Honest and maybe stupid question. What does enabling HDR on Mac actually does? I have Samsung Odyssey, and turning it on for me only slightly dims the brightness of the display and rather feels uncomfortable to me personally, so I keep it o
