That’s not relevant to this discussion at all.

Most of those are probably indirect. Same here: Stripe doesn’t issue credit cards or even process transactions itself. It partners with a half-dozen or so credit card networks, and each network partners with thousands of banks around the wo

JavaScript does work like that, but `for` creates a new block scope for each iteration, so variables declared with `let` in its initializer are redeclared each time. Some other languages ([1]) just make accessing mutable locals from a closu

Alfred, which lets me fuzzy search pretty much anything on my computer, comes in at a whopping 17.1 MB. 80 MB is OK, but standards have definitely been changed due to Electron.

I didn't realize that it was proprietary, but that still doesn't really explain bundling an entire terminal emulator for something this simple... (license.md should include the licenses for Ghostty and fzy - both MIT. Not sure tha

Why is this distributed as a modified version of the Ghostty terminal emulator bundled with the `fzy` utility? That's quite strange to me. You can run Swift that interacts with Cocoa APIs from a regular command-line utility, which lets

77% is over a lifetime, but 59% is just over the one or two summers that someone spends at McMurdo, so it makes sense that it would be lower. But if there weren’t a serious culture of harassment, you’d think it would be much lower.

The NSF itself said that sexual harassment is a problem at the base. They surveyed women there and 59 percent said they had been harassed. There have been a few named individuals accused of harassment there and a few victims who’ve come f

The Crown Jewels are worth between 3 and 5 billion pounds. Look, if you read “priceless” in a headline about a painting and think it literally means that the painting has a vast, unknown value that can never be determined, that’s on you.

by rafram 2y ago
Oh, come on. “Priceless” is never not hyperbole. Everything has a price. But for an average person, 100 million pounds is an unimaginable amount of money. Any object worth that much is essentially priceless.

Very few of these should actually be bitmap images, but I guess you could try asking the model to convert the image to HTML/CSS/SVG/whatever.

On the one hand, yes, it's annoying to have to explicitly declare state. On the other hand, it's much easier and clearer to declare derived state now. Pre-Svelte 5 code had a lot of this: let someState = someOtherState.thing

And were any of those for public urination alone, without any obscene intent at all? Just a guy peeing in the bushes because he can't find a bathroom?

by rafram 2y ago
OK, I would challenge you to find a single case, reported in the media, in which a defendant took a plea deal rather than face charges that included mandatory sex offender registration for nothing more than public urination. If that has eve

by rafram 2y ago
Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to a specific case?
922.
by rafram 2y ago
Right, and what makes you think you can't do that in Svelte 5?
923.
by rafram 2y ago
Yeah, this is SvelteKit's biggest weakness. Easy to write code that seems to work until some unusual confluence of circumstances makes it run on the client when you've always tested it on the server, or vice versa, and it breaks.

They really are an improvement. Tracking data flow in a complicated component (bound props going in both directions, derived state, …) was terrible before runes — you just had to rely on compiler magic, which worked until it didn’t. Now it’

Read the article. The point is that it can run on sub-supercomputer hardware, not specifically that it can run on consumer desktops.

Yup. I use a more generic setup (just AdGuard and Hush) and have a less unique fingerprint. At some point, adding more “privacy” extensions will just make you stand out more with very little tangible benefit.
