But CSS-in-JS was a mistake. Unless you want to start coupling your build tools even harder to get nonces on every compile, your CSP will require `unsafe-inline` which is bad for security. The simpler solution was to do CSS in CSS and keep

You can also uncheck the "Window controls" that don't add anything of value to the snippet.

I'm waiting for the check to arrive after all of these years of training—especially after moving to the East from the West and now I have 5× as many prompts.

What is the purpose of the macOS window action buttons in a UI like this? I can't close the window and it doesn't match my OS at all.

Yep. And these hook shell scripts, don't need to involve Node.js projects (cough Husky) injecting this scripts and executing them without your consent.

I don't think you need to ship full-res images, it's that the compression and stripping should be turned down and formats like JPEG XL should be supported to push a high-quality-but-small-size image for consumption. The line betwe

They would be meaning Heartbleed mitigations. Lotta folks do this on Linux too depending on their threat model just to compile the kernel faster or whatever.

Yes please. The Linux space needs some modernization too with a lot of applications, like Steam, segfaulting on 10-bit color, breaking at shebangs like #!/bin/bash, or some shared lib hell—and that's not even crossing the mes

Bonus: Neovim isn’t phoning home to Microsoft nor does it try to bifurcate communities on using proprietary plugins.

I like this. Generally speaking, information is not lost in this form—as in form does not change for initialisms. We have the casing on purpose in English to communicate that you are looking at an initialism or abbreviation so why would you

It's not performant though generally speaking you keep boxing and unboxing the type (imagine having a list of 100,000 notifications and then mapping over it 5 times in a row). The composition law would give you a just-as-readable optio

A loop isn't simpler than recursion or high-order functions since it introduces state and is noisy, but most examples of JavaScript/TypeScript + FP involve heavy usage of utility libraries that aren't community standards (lik

I won’t disagree that JavaScript isn’t multi-paradigm and you can write in a functional style, but you have to look at where the ergonomics are: • dot, `.`, syntax on objects vs. composition/pipe operators • no autocurry • no ADTs or

When your code is sufficiently abstract, there often really aren't better variable names than a or x. My experience is that it's about the scope for that variable. If it's in a one-line lambda, then it'll be one letter.

Totally agreed. Coworkers will hate you if you start mixing in these styles into an existing code base. If you want to do FP, go switch languages (and likely jobs/teams) to something where the ergonomic are clear, concise, and idomatic
