   Wow. When I hover over the link, my tab in Chrome crashes. I assume this is caused by some pre-fetching stuff. Any explanation of what's going on here? I can't exactly view the link...

   I'm confused. If you're writing OCaml in the first place, why not just directly run it on MirageOS? The obvious benefit of a JS VM unikernel is that you get to write your application in JavaScript...

   I find it's better to be aware of/vigilant about the common bugs in flexbox's implementation, and explicitly fix specific problems as you encounter them. I've never found a polyfill that doesn't rely on hacks that l

   What? It's fair to say Ruby didn't take off until 1.8 which came out in 2003, but how in any way is Node 20 years old?

   Nobody likes a self-righteous censor, I get that, but I'm just being honest with you: it comes off as lazy and juvenile without really helping your case. I'll try to be more tolerant...

    Yes! Why aren't more people making this observation? One of the huge selling-points of React is the modularity of components, and yet styles frequently ruin that modularity. Anyway, I got so frustrated with the state of things that I c

    Separating JS and markup was important when we were imperatively mutating the DOM by hand. Writing "inline" JS is necessarily global, and therefore makes writing modular code a lot harder. In other words, separating JS from the

    As a developer whose job is to deal with the ugly details of implementation, it's easy to forget the original purpose of the technology we're building. Creating something for novices (or humans, as I like to call them) is the nobl

    I can't speak for everyone, but I suspect web developers are used to staring at "markup soup" when viewing the source of a pretty-nice-looking website such as the one showcased here, and so this seems refreshingly elegant.

    The notion that this feels refreshing enough to be compelling news is a testament to how incredibly convoluted our use of browser technology has become. It's nice to be reminded of CSS's humbler, less-radioactive days...
