> Even 2 or 3 spaces sometimes work. What? Every number of spaces always works. Anyway, it's nice to separate style recommendations and syntax.

Yep, the videos are hugely important. The first half of Go Terminal's is just creating aliases (which is easier to do without the fancy UI), and that's where I got bored and closed the page. This project actually showed some inter

On that website, the styles are on :active (press and hold). It does need the SVGs to be inline with <svg>, though, which isn't great.

You can't put arbitrary CSS in GitHub readmes.

What is a "responsive icon"? Keep in mind that you can just switch the path to the SVG in CSS in the same way that you'd alter properties of a CSS image.

Any bank that's remotely sane with regards to website security (probably rather few of them) doesn't do this at all and uses standard forms of 2FA. This one doesn't even protect against keyloggers, because they can combine th

It's a huge detriment to security. You can break sets of 5-7 characters at a time and combine them instead of having to break the entire password at once.

Document ready is hardly the most fundamental “tool” for scripting, and it has always been easy to resolve in a cross-browser way: stick your scripts before </body>.

I don’t find the arrow function version of (1) cleaner than the anonymous function version. Is it cleaner because you can fit it on one line? I don’t find the import version of (2) cleaner than the require() version. Having a boring old fun

What if you download a binary and a dynamic library is missing? (This is what happens with GHC on Alpine. Binaries will expect glibc. Packages fix this problem, but they also fix the Python problems.) Another example: I recently wanted to r

Just sign new commits with the new key. Signing a commit also signs its history.

by minitech 11y ago
No, just the header of the commit (i.e. just the SHA-1) is signed. The signature you used on the valid commit would work if tacked onto the malicious one.

You make it sound a lot harder than it is. What it is: git commit -am '(what changed)' Effortless combination of history, backup, and publishing. There’s very little reason not to do it. Up to preference how often it’s done

You can still model state pretty straightforwardly when everything’s immutable. This article shows that different designs have different applications more than anything, and, well, duh.

No, because it can just sit in the background and wait until you type your passphrase at some point. As soon as you run malicious code, it’s all over; no workarounds. It would be nice if npm didn’t run arbitrary install scripts by default…

The name of the function, though, isn’t `isPositiveSafeInteger`; it matches `Number.isInteger` instead. Or maybe you don’t just want safe integers, maybe you want `x >>> 0 === x`, or `x > 0 && (x | 0) === x`, or…. This i

A module doesn’t solve that kind of type confusion, though. Static typing does. The next best thing in JavaScript is passing consistent types of values to your functions, so just write function isPositiveInteger(x) { return x >

That’s also the whole point of using a function. (For what it’s worth, I changed it from this to show off ES6.) function repeat(s, times) { return new Array(times + 1).join(s); } function padLeft(s, width, padCharacter) {

Hah, “indispensable”. It pads strings. Here, I wrote an alternative: function padLeft(s, width, padCharacter) { var d = width - s.length; return d <= 0 ? s : (padCharacter || " ").repeat(d)

Ever used \b? This is like that, but for other patterns. Very useful in many situations, like tokenizing (because you have to match on things the last match already consumed).
