As someone who went through two of the touchbar macbook pros up until recently getting a M2, "on a mac level" is a pretty tricky metric these days. Apple were charging crazy prices for garbage quality machines for years. A friend

Assume "pretty good" here means "pretty good relative to Sora", because even Sora can't claim to be "pretty good" yet.

I use chezmoi - it handles both elegantly & has no real requirements w.r.t. how you choose to structure your filesystem. It also handles recovery well when you mess things up.

The slow part here is going to be HTML handling. The comparator - turndown.js - is built on top of domino.js, a mature HTML lib built as a more performance-focused version of Mozilla's DOMJS (an already mature project in itself), so ev

JetBrains "Inject" is fine for contiguous embeds like JS in XML, but doesn't cut it for inline intertwined string-templating. E.g. (from the article): <a class="button {{if .IsPrimary}}primary{{end}}" {{if eq

[off-topic comment but somewhat relevant for anyone choosing a lang/ecosystem] I noticed that the syntax highlighting for the Go html/template examples in the article is incomplete. We're using Go html/templates on a new

Tbh I've been rather impressed about how much of DDG has continued to work while all their results are down - e.g. all bangs continue to work fine.

try/catch messing with const is a well known problem in modern JS & one that imo needs a generalised solution & not one specific to one constructor. As far as other error return patterns existing in "the spec" - there

The problem with this line of thinking is it gives automatic carte blanche to anyone pointing out problems to implement "solutions" to those problems with little interrogation of whether those solutions are actually better. SUID,

I think the feature to compare could be made a little more obvious - I can see why they would default to Chrome (both the most popular browser & also the one that shows the starkest difference), but tbh I find the most interesting compa

Apple is 23% worldwide, but if a brand is looking at specific markets, it can be as high as 40%+ (US). As for p3 adoption outside of Apple-land, you're right there's no good stats but I'd wager they're higher than you&#x

I'd imagine it's largely just due to a combination of inertia & ignorance (though the lack of clarity around display support is almost certainly a factor too). Apple made a song & dance about it 7 years ago but releases of

p3 has been the default for Apple desktop & mobile displays since 2017 (iPhone 7 era). Other device manufacturers are more likely to have lagged on that but I would imagine a fair number would have added support since. Also, within CSS

Big companies can afford to - the point is not that Meta would win a case, it's that most people are too small to survive a case long enough to see it through to a win against Meta.

Re-iterating what others have commented: quick-wittedness isn't "thinking fast" in the same way as you think slow, it's a different variety of thinking that comes with practice. I've always been a slow thinker, &amp

Homebrew adds a location to your $PATH that is writable by unprivileged users. This means any non-root process has privileges to mask any binary on your system. They do this in the name of "convenience" - so that the Homebrew proc

The package manifest for maven is pom.xml. Sure it's got quirks - I might have the wrong version of a maven plugin it's got required directives for or something - but it's always there, it's declarative, and dependencies
