A streak strikes me as a very different thing than a habit. Habits aren't hard to pick up after a break, streaks are. I have a hard time to figure out what it means for someone to "purposefully break a habit", except in the c

To my experience this is only true if you totally max yourself out when exercising. An alternative is to do light (ish) exercise every day. Makes getting totally ripped pretty much impossible, but it makes staying fit easy, because it'

Seeing the domain name I really hoped this was some way-out there SF story about computers philosophising about their developers or sth.

Wow cool! Sidenote, I'm the maintainer of the polyfill for this and its little script that extracts just the country flags from Mozilla's Twemoji font [0]. I'm not an expert by any stretch, but if it's in any way helpful

What do you do when the car repairman wants to call/text you when the car is finished? Or any other similar situations?

Fwiw just the country flags are 77kb if you use the Twemoji ones like Firefox does. Fancy shiny ones area bit bigger I suspect.

I'm the author of the country-flag-emoji-polyfill mentioned in the article. If the author reads this, maybe a correction is warranted: the polyfill doesn't actually depend on public CDNs. The library itself is a regular NPM packag

(I'm the author of the polyfill, though note that all this code is pieced together from existing other libs with irrelevant parts removed; none of the good ideas are mine) Just randomly sharing, the part of the trick I like the most is

I am unreasonably sad that the wikipedia editors couldn't find it in themselves to let this one article break wikipedia's URL capitalization rules.

Wow I'm impressed at the developer experience. A reset button, flash with `make install`, woa. I've programmed plenty pro embedded systems that had substantially worse support. Hacky flasher apps, messing around with the power sou

I agree with you. I thought this subthread was about "hey thats funny the censorship UX is similar (and similarly weird/clunky) between chatgpt and deepseek, whaddayaknow". That the content of what they censor is different is

looks like the same approach used to censor different things right? openai censors zittrain because he wants the right to be forgotten and openai doesn't want legal trouble, deepseek censors tiananmen because, well, they don't wan

I agree, AI is fucking spectacular and NFTs have no substance. But at the same time, neither AI nor NFTs have substantially affected my life so far, so I experience a very weird cognitive dissonance when the AI hype crowd gasps on twitter.

Fwiw this is kinda what I meant with "for the EU to get their shit together"

This is just a small country getting strong-armed by the US. You can be as pro NATO, pro US, pro "transatlantic relations" as you can and they'll still screw you over. Seriously I can't wait for the EU to get their shit

One thing I'm missing in the comments here is that enums are a very early TypeScript feature. They were in there nearly from the start, when the project was still trying to find clarity on its goals and principles. Since then: - TypeSc

Fwiw there's a great VS Code extension for lit-html which (for me) fully solves the IDE support issue. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=runem.li... Obviously that doesn't solve it for other IDEs

I just want to do a drive by comment to compliment you and the rest of the Lit team on Lit. I love how using a TS compiler is optional, I'm impressed by how fast and pragmatic lit-html is, and how easy it is to understand how it can be

I know nothing about the case but isn't that a little like saying "look, we weren't lying, cause we never said we were saying the truth"?
