This is the first time I've ever seen it explained how input methods allow users to write in languages like Chinese using the Latin letters A-Z: phonetics. I had always wondered about this, it seemed like some arcane magic to me lol, h

One of the things I hate most about HTML 5 is that documents don't need to be well-formed XML, and are even encouraged not to be - `<hr>` instead of `<hr/>` etc, thus excluding XML processing tools from being able to w

Thanks for this, it helps tremendously to have this advice when I can't decide if the hassle of sharing a side project as open source is worth the benefits, and how to ensure I can be a good leader to help my contributors and myself en

I agree that qualities like "fast"/"performant" are intentional, and are thus prominently displayed in the project's readme, but are qualities like "maintainable" often found as a stated goal in readm

It drives me crazy when I read fiction books which use Fahrenheit (and sometimes don't even specify units) as I don't understand that measurement or many other imperial units at all. One would think in this day and age that author

this isn't anything new - see CarWink[1] from 2 years ago for example. I didn't become a backer of that kickstarter iirc because one couldn't make their own graphics or translate the text for non-English speaking countries et

I think its fair to say that the results of this paper/study are entirely unsurprising. Yes, there are differences in how different regex engines work - anyone that has ever used regular expressions in more than one programming languag

These days I tend to use the built in element inspector instead to view live state, unless I specifically want to see the original state - from before JS got involved :)

sounds interesting, is the development of that something joe public can look at? :)

Agreed, and it is indeed possible to have "context coloring" with normal, useful syntax highlighting alongside it - subtly lighten or darken the background color when going down a scope level into a nested function etc.

How many people would know what caused it, though? Maybe they spent a while on a few different websites, but only one was a resource hog...

A paid, Mac only app which could fairly easily be implemented as a plugin to any popular text editor... I'm not sure I understand the appeal - what am I missing here, please? :)

Most compilers skip optimizations when compiling in debug mode, so that it is still quick to iterate/test, then perform the optimizations which take longer to compile for release builds. Obviously it means one can only profile code whe

This article is mainly about performance improvements, so I guess GitKraken wanted to remain competitive since Sublime Merge was released. But not being able to use it for private repos (sometimes I work on a project I plan to release as op

Modern debuggers generally support conditional breakpoints, but they often incur a high performance penalty, so this reasoning makes sense to me.

As someone that commutes 80 km to work every weekday (i.e. one way) in a country where its the law to change tyres twice a year and the usual recommendation for oil changes are after every 10 or 15 thousand kilometers, I think its safe to s

There are lots of references to "cross platform" on the page, so it seems that the answer is likely yes (without having signed up for the beta myself to fully confirm).

Was this perhaps inspired at all by the Materialistic Hacker News app for Android? It has most of those features you listed :)

I wonder if it will be a permission users can see an app has before installing for the first time or updating to a version that includes this "feature". I guess one will have to be even more careful deciding to purchase any apps,

well obviously the default should be Python 3, but I guess no default is better than a default of Python 2. I like that they separated the "user-space" Python from what the bundled tools use as a dependency.

not in this universe they aren't - many popular applications indent 4 spaces by default when pressing the Tab key, and render physical tabs as four spaces, for example github ;) tabs of 8 space width are a legacy travesty that wastes s

I like the uniform output, nice work! I personally think its easier to use something like the `sublime-syntax` grammar format to define a lexer (with a project like syntect[1]), rather than implementing each language's lexer as code, b

yes, it can be unintuitive, but single newline ignorance has its advantages too, for example one can make semantic line breaks[1] for easier diffability. [1]: https://sembr.org/
