For what it's worth, TOML [0] has been around for a few years. It's intended for configuration data and borrows some ideas from INI files. The +++ thing is just Zola's way to have you tell it whether you put YAML or TOML insi

I grepped the minified source code included in the page, and it looks like the project was built using React. React isn't opinionated on how you should handle component styling, and so the community has experimented a lot [0] with diff

Thank you for sharing this; I find the technique refreshingly simple. > You may have seen people achieve this with a more complex headless Chrome-based solution, but for many sites, this will be perfectly fine! Can you elaborate on the d

Used judiciously, ligatures can help make code more readable, not less. Consider JavaScript's == and ===, and their inverses != and !==. I personally find them difficult to visually distinguish on occasion (especially the negative form

One advantage is accessibility for people with limited vision. A folding phone can have about the same screen area as a small tablet, while still fitting in a pocket or handbag. A larger screen is immensely more comfortable to use if your f

I've heard that cities also charge for parking because of an interesting social factor: many people will drive in circles for half an hour looking for a free spot rather than pay for parking in a private lot. Everyone driving around in

Are you referencing the ESLint backdoor? From my recollection, the two incidents seem really similar. Both were noticed and unpublished quickly. Both could have been prevented by 2FA. Can you elaborate on why you think this incident was han

I think OP's point was that if your company provides a service, and runs 10 containers to do it, then each container provides 1/10th of the total functionality of the service and is therefore a "deciservice". The joke be

While both your question and the GP's are worth pondering, I'm not sure either is identical to the original question. The new job doesn't necessarily come with less free time (or less free coffee and foosball).

The article is likely referring to the estimated dry prominence of Mauna Kea. Topographic prominence [1] measures the height of a peak relative to its lowest surrounding contour line (that doesn't also contain another, taller peak).
