It's pretty slick looking which is worth something to me. Not $750, but something. But even though some of the UX choices of Jellyfin didn't make sense to me, it's an amazing piece…

The comparison section says the MIT license is not "free" because it's not copyleft. How come is more permissive considered less free?

> The vite plus idea is that you'll pay for visual tools. From what I understand, Vite+ seems like an all-in-one toolchain. Instead of maintaining multiple configurations with vari…

Oxc is not the first Rust-based product on the market that handles JS, there is also SWC which is now reasonably mature. I maintain a reasonably large frontend project (in the 10s …

I had the chance to finish reading and it looks like Trigger were using an older version of PNPM which didn't do any of the above, and have since implemented everything I've mentio…

> you have no appetite for a better security model For what it's worth, there are some advancements. PNPM - the packager used in this case - doesn't automatically run postinstall s…

Well you do learn that a no-build process can work at some scale, and you can see what tech stack is used and roughly how it works. But regardless, I didn't mean to make any argume…

37 Signals [0] famously uses their own Stimulus [1] framework on most of their products. Their CEO is a proponent of the whole no-build approach because of the additional complexit…

The repository introduces it as indeed based on Helium [0]. The cool part about Helium is that it's based on patches, rather than forking the full source code. I don't know how sus…

Same here. A few years ago I thought maybe the ringing isn't normal. It hadn't occurred to me before that. I found a YouTube video of a "tinnitus demo" with the right sound and fre…

One is impulsive, the other requires structure. The two are not mutually exclusive though, because both conditions are pretty diverse. AuDHD is a term used to describe people with …

Yes it does, you're correct and I have misread. I can't edit, delete, or flag my initial reply unfortunately.

It does not, since version 11: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/using-npm/changelog#1100-pre0...

I'm really not a fan of CSS in JS, however it does have it's use-cases. Class mangling is very convenient with it and allows you to be prescriptive about how you're doing theming s…

Oh, happy days!

Not a package manager, but Renovate bot has a setting like that (minimumReleaseAge). Dependabot does not (Edit: does now). So while your package manager will install whatever is ne…

The term originates from a Joel Spolsky article (or at least it's where I know it from). It's a great read: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/04/21/dont-let-architect... Feels un…

Been using tsx for years. This had never occurred to me, but you're right

I use it to shorten common requests I have for my colleagues, e.g. to not forget their code reviews, or alias phrases I commonly use to a :command. It's handy as a form filler too.…

I can think of three things: serving as a guide, serving to raise awareness, and entertainment. On the "serving as a guide" part, some people are activists and subscribe to the ide…

I've been working for the same company for over 7 years and a lot of the shared code that other developers use is mine. Frequently I would guide other developers to implementing so…

My employer sends a take-home test. It is relatively easy and not very time-consuming. Its main purpose is to act as a basic filter and to provide some material to base an intervie…

This is an option but that makes it easier to conceal malicious code within node_modules as an internal threat actor or make super sure there's a culture of actually reviewing thos…

Frontend dev here. Hats off to Ciechanowski as always. The code is readable and works well, and looks written with love. I wouldn't do it this way, but then again, I wouldn't do th…
