There was a great refactoring chance in the example where the cache was removed. That is, extracting the caching logic from the API call logic. Caching could have been a more generic function that wraps the API call function. That way each

A refactor does not change behavior, period . By definition. If something changed, it's not a refactor. It's a change. Like in the example where the caching was removed: NOT a refactor. Ore where the timeouts for the requests wer

> every cycle creates an anonymous function No, that's not how it works. The function is evaluated once before the call and passed as an argument, then internally reused. Also, you're microptimizing. Prioritizing supposed p

That's great advice, thanks! What are you using to scan the packages/images if I may ask?

Nice, I love lit-html(1)! I wanted to add my two pennies to the discussion. You are of correct that with that approach you lose the declarativeness but sometimes you don't need that, if the thing is mostly static. I went this road many

Well, I don't know. If we look at the body counts, I think being in the receiving end of getting democratized by the USA is actually worse. But this is "whataboutism" and not addressing the point of my comment. The actual poi

Floats are not weird. They were just utterly misused, using them for layout is an ugly hack. They were conceived to float text (or other elements) around static elements. Think text floating around a picture, like this: https://t

I wish you were right about this. But then again, why does the US risk going to war with China over Taiwan? You think it's because democracy, liberty and or human rights? It is very obviously strong geopolitical interest.

Pax Americana is a farce. There was always war going on and America was always involved, and for their own imperial interests. This narrative that the US are the good guys and they are the police of the world is the propaganda of the empire

This looks great! I've been wanting to drop the Swipe keyboard ever since I saw sneaky ads on it (like me typing "Google Maps" and getting "Bing Maps" as a "suggestion").

Fun fact: nextjs was inspired by PHP and can generate static pages that you can throw into a web server. Another technology that kind of covers the use cases of the article (the mildly dynamic pages) would be htmx and friends.

Hey. Webdev here ;-) It's the other way around: after every optimization we have more "budget" to spend. More code, more bloat that we can get away with.

Babashka scripts are interpreted, the babashka binary itself is compiled with GraalVM. But: you can also build regular Clojure programs using GraalVM and create a fast-starting binary.

I'm quite proficient in German and English, but still translating is astonishing hard, even into my mother tongue Spanish. The translation always sounds weird. I'm always in awe at great translations. When I read translated texts

Not really, all the rendering is done in the server. All HTMX is doing is fetching HTML snippets from the backend and patching them onto the DOM.

Localisation means in this context the translations, date and number formatting, currency, etc. So no, that doesn't change depending on where you are.

I guess they mean UIs built using XUL, which is a XML-based declarative user interface markup language. Kind of an HTML variant for desktop UIs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUL

Tmux is more keyboard oriented, I guess. For example: I can copy and paste from one pane to another without touching the mouse, which is something I think is not possible with Konsole. (I haven't used Konsole or KDE for many years, so

Other commenter mentioned Hy, but what about Clojure? It is a lisp on top of Java, and all of its variants (Clojurescript -> Javascript, etc). Then there's Fennel (Lua) and others I can't remember right now.
