I think The Movies That Made Us on Netflix is great. The general premise is exploring a classic film and the arduous journey to make it happen. The films and their directors are household names now but at the time they really had to push to

You don't update OSX before March in my experience. There are always teething issues.

To be specific, it is Javascript based desktop application platform. Each finished app ships its own version of Chrome which affects the size and arguably adds quite a lot of overhead. It also makes developing cross-platform desktop applica

I broadly prefer JavaScript to TypeScript. TypeScript has it's place and is certainly useful in some scenarios (it's union type is so powerful) but I don't think I'd ever plan on coding exclusively in it. I've writt

That address in Cyprus is in the EU so if it is acting as their data controller it probably has something to do with that.

You can use any Typescript project in plain Javascript, it all compiles down to and runs as Javascript in the end. You obviously don't get the guarantees of static typing but you should be able to use React FluentUI in plain JS. Fluent

Why not use QT with Python? Why include Typescript or ESLint if they're a Python dev getting used to the ecosystem? Why choose a boilerplate with a bunch of things you don't seem to want or need?

I've read a fair bit of Murakami and I think he's at his best when he's deep into the surrealist, magical realism stuff. South of the Border only really touches on that. Kafka on the Shore, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle and Hard

I'm pretty comfortable with JS and Typescript so I might be at an advantage that I don't perceive but CDK stuff doesn't require a good grasp of either language. If you are familiar with at least one other typed language you&#

This is a bit of a puff piece and ad for this agency. I do like Node but I don't think this does much to advocate for it. I was curious about the NASA case study however. I found the full write up of it here: https://openjsf

I recently implemented this using the great Mailcheck library. So if someone types "gnail.com" or "gmail.con" it detects it and we can show "Did you mean gmail.com?". If someone ignores the suggestion, fair eno

OCaml is statically typed functional programming language. It's a cousin of Haskell. It has some nice things like automatic type inference so you don't have to write very many type annotations. It's not as focused on purity a

That looks really good. I like how the hook is built into the store API. My problem with a lot of these simple state managers is they often just stop short of handling asynchronous state. I think it should pretty much be mandatory to handle

I've changed the battery on my copy of Pokemon Gold twice. I wonder if whoever designed those cartridges expected anyone to still be playing the game twenty years later.

Safari and Chrome now use a combined cache strategy using the URL of the resource and the top level domain of the site loading that resource as the cache key. For scenarios that were previously popular like using the jQuery CDN, you won&#x2

I once worked on a product where the idea was the end user would write a lot of custom regexes to parse the output of commands on network devices. The system was written in such a way that the regexes were nested and looped depending on the

I've worked on a ePub parser and renderer and the issues you're describing sound pretty familiar. The three main components of the ePub (aside from the actual pages) are the TOC, the spine and the manifest. The manifest basically

I used to work for a large US-based publisher with a big presence in education. I worked on the ePub parser and renderer written in React. As a company we basically took the standard and ran with it. Each book could have its own interactive

React and frontend in general has a new starters problem. Its a lot of people's first interaction with tech. For better or worse I feel a lot of library maintainers and community aim to cater to the beginner. On one hand it makes thing

I'm in Ireland and I'll definitely take the AZ shot when it's offered to me. I think AZ absolutely bungled their part of the vaccine delivery unnecessarily undermining the public's confidence in their vaccine but for the

I'd say the things to look out for are: - Keybindings aren't comprehensively listed anywhere (that I know of) - You have to go to the individual packages that are loaded and figure out how to use them - There is some discoverabili

I've been trying out Doom Emacs recently. I'll admit that I have used Vim and Emacs for reasonable periods of time previously so I am somewhat used to their way of doing things but Doom is nicely prescriptive and gives a great vim

"React would just be a View layer that renders content but is unrelated to the rest of the application" This is how I treat it. React or more generally the view handles form state and stuff like modal visibility. Things that a use

I agree with you. I clicked the link being ready to object and leave a comment and found that it was much more in line with my opinions than the title would suggest. Literally the title isn't what the concept says it is. I think there

You definitely don't want to go reinventing the wheel. The problem that I find, especially in the React community is the belief that everything should be done in the framework. How do you make an API call in React? How do you change th

I like to program in JS. I've written non trivial amounts of code in Java, PHP, Clojure and OCaml. I've written approaching trivial amounts of code in Go and Rust. JS has warts, undoubtedly so. But I try to approach it like I woul

I use Tailwind with Snowpack and style changes are picked up without a page reload.

This seems directly in opposition to my experience of Tailwind. Assuming you are using some sort of component based setup, like React, Tailwind mercilessly enforces consistency. You can't just use padding-left: 10px in one place and pa
