Code written below your line gets executed if you don't return early. More breaking news at 8. Seriously, why would you think that assigning a value would stop your script from executing? Maybe the Typescript example is missing some co

I really hate that commit message. It is extremely verbose and doesn't allow you to easily understand what was done in the commit in a single sentence or paragraph. It mixes a very narrative explanation in there that is hard to skim. I

You can also use Foam, a FOSS VSCode extension that is compatible with the basic markdown files from Obsidian. You can just open your vault in it and it will probably work if you're not using the fancy features in Obsidian. https:&#x2

Everyone and their grandmother knows that the video is public domain now. How is it possible that Disney and Youtube don't? How are people so incompetent calling the shots?

I was very skeptic before I tried it, I had the same concerns as you. And before I realized, I had dumped 100+ hours into it.

Can confirm this is a bullshit theory. Eating beef and eggs did not help my depression years ago. In fact, going vegan has had a positive impact on my mental health.

There are way more trash discussions here on HN every day that don't get flagged. But it does show where the bias in HN lies.

Is this missing an /s at the end? I do believe in the power of technology to make a better world. That's why a venture capitalist using it for profit and then writing a manifesto about how virtuous it is, is the sort of disgusting

Is there some way to get involved in this to make sure it doesn't happen?

Right, let's just leave it to the free market to make the transition when economically viable. The invisible hand has been working great so far in preventing a global ecosystem catastrophe. /s

I was always skeptical of these fancy new vehicles with shiny electronics. I'm glad I still drive a 15 year old car and a 10 year old motorcycle where the most advanced tech is ABS.

They recently added profiles in VSCode for this very use case. I have a bunch of them configured for different tech stacks (they only differ by extensions)

Relevant to what? There's a huge business in videogames to make DRM constantly stronger and more intrusive. Definitely not as easy to break as the parent comment description for Audible.

My point is: if Mastodon can't get something as basic as an interaction with posts frictionless, I am skeptical that it can solve the more complicated problems, like profile migrations, discoverability, data retention etc.

The browser approach is best effort at rendering, rather than enforcing conventions. And I doubt that tooling can help with all the complicated ways in which HTML is generated (React, SSR etc). I was actually surprised at how underbaked edi

The problem I see with sematic web is that no matter how easy it gets, developers refuse to use it properly. I have been looking closely at the <main> tag since a browser extension of mine uses it, and although it is extremely clear w

Seeing this some non technical people will try out this Mastodon thing. If they can get past the initial hassle of choosing an instance to sign on they will try to 'Follow' the BBC account on the social.bbc instance, only to be gr

In that JSON example you're honestly losing more time with ChatGPT that doing it yourself. It seems more like mentoring a junior than a helpful assistant. Most of my interactions with it have been this way.

The site favicon hasn't been updated either. I imagine that last employee working at Twitter who hasn't been fired has had a difficult weekend updating the logo.

Federation has many flaws, but this is not one of them. It makes sense when the service is new to focus mostly on one big instance instead of many instances with 10 people each. Case in point: - The Mastodon flagship instance has 25% month

I have considered making the switch, but on Ubuntu touch screen is poorly implemented as mouse clicks instead of touch events. Chromium sidesteps this by doing its own touch detection, allowing me to comfortably browse through pages with to

Agree completely. Scoring is mostly a cultural thing, I presume based on how the person experienced grades in school and their social pressures to attain certain grades. As a child I moved from a country where getting any grade below 9&#x2F

I've seen plenty of extremely competenet tech people try out Mastodon and then quit because they couldn't bother with the UX and all the problems federation brings. So no, it's not just "unwashed masses", it's

I have no idea what I am supposed to see on this link. It is completely unreadable, with green text overlapping each other and green icons and no zoom. But I suppose that the UX is a good indication of the overall Lemmy experience.

I think it depends a lot on the subreddits you subscribe to. I mostly use it for engaging in hobbies that I find rewarding and as long as I moderate the time spent it is not wasted. Same as Youtube. If I had to rank, I would say HN is worse
