   We can see a common sentiment by developers on this thread that they mostly test on Chrome, because that's where users are. I don't think it's likely many developers put in the effort for making the experience of using Firefo

   Would you mind spelling the difference a bit more clearly? The comment chain has another comment that the browsers developers actually develop for a specific browser (usually Chrome because larger userbase), and this choice developers make

   I think that was the case, but I remember hearing that GTK4 has made accessibility a priority and introduced some kind of system similar to what ARIA is on the web. Not sure if those accessibility plans were fully realised though.

   I'm surprised to see you downvoted because I absolutely agree. It seems like a common-sense opinion that C# and Typescript are unnecessarily verbose in comparison to F#. (I don't know Clojure so can't compare.)

   I don't think that's a fair comparison. Someone yelling outside a theatre would be causing an active nuisance and provoking people. What's the worst this unaggressively-worded and unintended (unintended by those who deployed

   Aplogies for the lack of clarity on my part. The other two sibling comments are right about what I meant. I don't think a language model has empathy, but I think this suggestion can be good for the potential real-world consequences it

    I think that means "without updates to Twitter" (instead of "updates to X"). Because, if you keep the old Twitter app with the bird logo, you can't update the app while keeping "Twitter" (the brand and aes

    That sounds like a surprisingly fortunate mistake, because you would hope recommending others to go to a food bank will encourage (and actually make some of) them to give something to the needy there. The suggestion the AI makes to consider

    The React Flow library has free documentation, but more extensive tutorials on how to use their library are part of their paid offering. (More about their model here: https://reactflow.dev/blog/asking-for-money-for-open

    If you want to override behaviour, why not just define a sum type wrapping other objects, a master function that matches on different cases, and then smaller functions that decide on what to do for each case? That seems fine to me. Like thi

    Not a fan of XAML after trying to get into it, but there is Uno Platform. It wraps native widgets on mobile, just like React Native (which is good for accessibility), and uses C#. https://platform.uno/ My guess is that it&#

    Not a front-end dev, but I think (correct me if I'm wrong) the usual way of SSR were things like returning a plain HTML web page in Spring/ASP.NET/whatever and that the main invention of Next as far as SSR goes is that you ca

    I think Collingwood would defend (at least a qualification of) that statement of Wittgenstein's if asked about it. He readily admits that some communication between humans and other creatures is possible, but he thinks human languages

    Those attracted to Wittgenstein's later thought like Philosophical Investigations would likely appreciate a lesser known philosopher's thought, that of R. G. Collingwood, too. I'm not alone in finding similarities (not plagia

    Is F# not easy? You're just writing functions and there's low syntactic (curly braces, defining classes, etc.) overhead which means a high signal-to-noise ratio. I think it might be a little more complicated than Python (because o

    This concept sounds quite a bit like the usage of .mdx files in OCaml. Those are markdown files which can load and execute OCaml code in them. They are useful for unit testing code like libraries, providing usage examples for end-users (as

    I can understand that point of view. It seems likely that UI-as-code variants (like Flutter and Elm) are more imperative (even if they have a declarative API) than separate markup languages like HTML and XAML since you have the ful power of
