I tend to lower-case all my HTML because it has less entropy and therefore can be compressed more effectively. But in case of modern compression algorithms, some of them come with a pre-defined dictionary for websites. These usually contain

I really dislike it when a turing-complete language is used for configuration. It almost always breaks every possibility to programmatically process or analyze the config. You can't just JSON.parse the file and check it. Also I've

IIRC the CEO(?) of Duolingo was asked what he would choose if he had to choose between a more effective language course and more gamification. His answer was gamification, because the best course doesn't help anyone if noone shows up.

Yeah it might be closer to what's actually happening but it doesn't make it obvious why something doesn't work. The map model doesn't even cover non-unique indices. Or different type of indexes.

I use the mental model of nested maps for "column order matters". For example, an index "published, low_quality_probability, lang" is just a Map<date, Map<number, Map<lang, rowId>>> in my mental model.

I don't like it when non-clickable text isn't selectable either. But this behavior somehow makes it feel more like an actual app (when used in PWAs).

I proposed a primitive for this in TypeScript a couple of years ago [1]. While I'm not entirely convinced myself whether it is worth the effort, it offers the ability to express "a number greater than 0". Using type narrowing

I wouldn't be that sure if we'd want to exchange that for an ecosystem that consists of many different languages that all have their own ecosystem wich may not be compatible with WASM. Imagine needing nuget, maven and cargo -- all

You probably mean RFC3339, which overlaps with ISO 8601 and allows this. But the docs don't mention that RFC and only reference the ISO standard. You can compare the formats here: https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso860

`current_timestamp` also returns something like `2025-06-15 19:50:50` while the docs state that it is ISO 8601. Except that this is not ISO 8601 due to the T missing in the middle. This has caused some headaches due to different formats of

Depending on the use-case, it might be good to have a file format "diffable", especially when it's going to be checked in in some version control.
