If you're in, say, Japan, where most people know a bit of English, it's important to be able to break yours so they understand you better. Even more so, being able to speak broken Japan-flavored English would be perfect if your go

Well, Parcel touts minification, removing unused code, transpiling, and other goodies. If it worked, it really would have been perfect, I could have set it up in minutes. The half-hour I mentioned for Gulp was only enough to make me realize

I also tried that, but didn't find any pre-made gulpfiles for it and after half an hour of trying to make one I decided it wasn't worth the effort, but it's definitely still a great tool.

Yeah, I love next.js. I'm much more willing to go that route than fight Webpack.

Hah, I literally spent a day trying to use parcel to optimize a good old fashioned HTML+CSS+JS static site that's not an SPA. Webpack would be a pain to set up and all other bundlers were lacking for such an use case. Parcel 1 worked g

I love that they didn't kill the previous logo. Just cleaned it up a bit, but it's still the same as it's quite recognizable. Font is a mess, but they'll likely change it soon as nearly no one likes it.

How about putting a Chrome icon next to 'burrito.catering' as if it were a social network? The implications are awful but the results might be effective

It's insane how tightly coupled such crucial apps are to the OS. The first time I tried to make an iOS app and learned that you needed to download all of XCode and its updates (tons and tons of GB!) just to use some console commands an

I replied a wall of text in a sibling (cousin?) post, but here's a video of what the feature I meant. I'm not sure what the most accurate name for it would be, I've always seen it called text reflow. https://www.yo

When looking at a desktop sized web page such as old Reddit, most likely an entry's title won't fit horizontally on the screen. What some browsers do (and I really dislike) is that they somehow guess what's important on the p

Something barely related that drives me nuts, is that if reflow is something so important (it is), then why is Opera the only Android browser which implements text reflow? ! It should be a top concern for browser and page devs IMO.

The ability to criticize the ruling party without the government locking you up or giving you exorbitant fines in response is a must for me.

So it's not just a scam, it's a scam pretending to be a medical app? The walled garden method has been proven a failure and needs to go urgently.

Why did they even hire such a controversial person in the first place? It's baffling how they're doubling down on defending her after her previous actions. I wonder if this'll all cool down in a couple of days with everyone f

I suggest we don't need a 'better' Heroku, but rather a 'cheaper' Heroku, with the exact same UX as Heroku. That would be a worthy goal to aim towards.

It's hard for the general public to grasp the difference between a photoshopped image and one generated with ML processes, so I expect both will be called "deep fakes" by the media for the foreseeable future.
