Sure, but the world is vast. I would love to be able to test every UI framework and figure out which is the best, but who’s got time for that? You have to rely on heuristics for some things, and popularity is often a decent indicator.

Why not just try every permutation of (1,l)? Let’s see, 76 pages, approx 69 lines per page, say there’s one instance of [1l] per line, that’s only… uh… 2^5244 possibilities… Hmm. Anyone got some spare CPU time?

I took it to mean “make Postgres your default choice”, not “always use Postgres no matter what”

Whoops, I was mistaken, I was thinking of The World Almanac and Book of Facts that was included in the original version of the game as a player reference.

This is definitely a nit but is there any reason you need 2 decimal places accuracy for percent complete?

AWS is often unnecessary but I do hope you had some kind of pre-prod environment in your original setup

Right, I should have said there are conventions and libraries you can use to limit the scope of tests but that requires intention and diligence. But fundamentally , “go tests” could run anything a normal go program can.

Thanks for this, I assumed there would be some more rigor behind this but it hardly seems credible, it relies mostly on anecdotes and "common sense".

That seems to assume that immigration and emigration is not a significant factor for your country

I would perhaps call this “build.ts” instead. Calling it “make.ts” implies Makefile-like behavior, e.g. multiple targets, dependencies, conditional builds, etc.

I know they’re just being through but the “go test” part is a bit “Pray, Mr Babbage”… Test code is just code. I know of no language where tests are sandboxed in any meaningful way.

It is a bit better. The overlay is much smaller, but it would be still nice to be able to dismiss or minimize it so it’s not blocking 1/4 of the screen all the time. It’s still get a bit clunky when you zoom out far but it’s better tha

This certainly looks impressive but it’s a bit misleading to say it works on “almost any phone” when it doesn’t work on iPhone (which only allows mobile Safari)

Neat! Unfortunately the search/informational dialog blocks almost half the screen on mobile (iOS Safari). It also gets really slow when you zoom way out (e.g. when navigating to another state)

The subdomain search returns a lot of spurious matches for domains with the same suffix (e.g. searching for bar.com includes foobar.com in the results)

I didn’t understand what this was from the title. Perhaps a better description would be “mod_rewrite for your homedir”

The Chicago one could use a bit do a rework. The shape of the Loop is a very very distinctive, even iconic, but here it’s off — it’s squashed and fat, wider than it is tall, rather than narrower. Obviously some compromises must be made for

It’s not necessarily directly correlated, but it’s a decent signal. What’s the signal here?

Where’s the love here? There are artists who dedicate their lives to creating a single masterwork. This is someone spending a weekend on a “neat idea”.
