I wouldn’t be surprised if this is because of the improved support[1] for writing types as JSDoc comments in TypeScript 5.0 [1] https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescr...

My brother writes xkcd. In 2006 I was living at home while attending community college. At the time, his site was still hosted on the old HP desktop that used to sit in our family room and now sat in his old bedroom. One day I was playing i

They announced additional corrective lenses you can attach, which is the approach I use with my Index headset to supply my -5.5 and -6 prescription. The ones for the Index and other headsets are aftermarket though.

As a layperson, that would be unsurprising if myopia is being caused due to short focal distances. It's not like your eyes are actually focusing on something an inch or two in front of them. As far as they're concerned, they'

I really wonder about what the impact of having a lot of these devices in a house with animals which can hear higher frequency ranges would be. Most (all?) rodents, cats, and--to a lesser extent--dogs all hear well into the ultrasonic range

I'm looking forward to using one of those. My mom's old Dell laptop died and she finally made the switch to the new MacBook Air. It seems fantastic. I had the 2015 MacBook. It was an oddball model which afaik never got a refresh:

The VirtualBoy was famously a disaster for Nintendo. They slashed its price from $180 to $100 within a year of release, and I got one brand new from Toys R' Us later in the year for $30. I actually still have it, though I no longer hav

> It’s very clear useEffect was created with a certain purpose and then the React folks realized that was a terrible use of it and changed the purpose of useEffect. I've compared the docs, and I don't think that's clear at

For what it's worth, "the deps being the things sent to the query" is fundamentally correct. What were you doing wrong before and what are you doing now? There are alternatives to making queries with useEffect which can resul

by rimunroe 3y ago
This isn't a recent development. People misusing useEffect just to update state has been a thing in React since they were introduced, even though a close reading of the original hooks docs should have conveyed that that's not what

How does an HR person saying something isn’t a lie make it not a lie? If you’re saying something happened which didn’t happen, that’s a lie. A HR person saying it’s okay might indicate that it’s not a lie people would look askance at, but i

Are there other domain names reserved by IANA for the same purpose? I trust the people in charge of domain names to not change their minds on something like this more than I would a company (such as Apple).

I don’t know why it’s absurd to compare the Cybertruck (promised, delayed, not released yet) to that kickstarter (promised, delayed, not released yet). They’ve even been announced for similar lengths of time. As for “full self driving”, tho

I wish I could find a screenshot of it, but I believe the default Arabic font in Ubuntu ~10 years ago was pretty horrendous, whereas Windows had a much more reasonable one.

The defining feature of vaporware is that the product gets announced and then either isn't released or isn't released for a very long time. The term has nothing to do with the amount of resources being poured into it. One of the

I'm pretty sure you're mistaking power for energy. Watts are units of power, which is the rate of change in energy (joules per second). Asking for how much power something produces in an hour is like asking how many miles per hour

So humans discovered a way for matter to be configured in a new configuration for this uranium isotope, but we didn't discover how to arrange things into the shape of a chair?

I'm not a chemist, but this is something we're already very good at, and have been for quite some time. Silicon oxides occur very commonly in iron ores, and are a major component of slag.

I imagine most of them could be, but this is an API which would require a lot of additions to the existing React.Component API, and would end up duplicating a bunch of already-existing functionality for something which in the end would pr

Yes, that's true in this case, but it's not unusual to have something which uniquely identifies a debounced/memoized/cached function though, so that subsequent calls look it up against a registry and avoid repeated compu

This is a hook version of the same code as near as I could guess it. function useViewport(initialValue) { const [state, setState] = useState(initialValue); useEffect(() => { return watchViewport((x, y) => setState(x
