Maybe you can associate html files with or use open with to pass them into a script that calls python -m http.server and creates and opens a url to the file via the python server i…

That's exciting about Firefox, though I really wish that firefox would support OPFS in such a way as to allow selecting the directory where the files are located, beyond just persi…

Precisely, or even find a way not to require commas. I don't think we've seen a language that is explicitly designed to be as ergonomic / accommodating as possible to developers. S…

In the docs for Node.remove_child(Node node)[1] it says "Removes a child node. The node is NOT deleted and must be deleted manually." Do you still have to queue_free the top node t…

Sounds like Godot 4 is replacing GDNative with GDExtension. Just wondering if you have tried it out and have any thoughts. Is it a smoother experience / about the same etc.

maybe combine them with user defined !bang commands like on duckduckgo, !hn search_term (searches hn sites list from above).

For Lesson 1: I think the general pattern that ought to be followed is to "prefer undo to warnings." Undo is often harder to implement, however it's usually a superior experience.

I don't think it's clear cut that it should be out of band 100% of the time. I think there are use cases where inline is useful. Cycles are definitely an issue, I am not sure there…

Ok that makes a lot of sense, the link you shared helped explain things in denoland quite well (and reminds me that I really need to give it another go). From the link I see this e…

Hi Luca - congratulations! I have a quick question, have their been any proposals to add Subresource Integrity hashes ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subres…

Genuinely curious what the use case(s) of reading from uninitialized are. Performance?

It could be possible that [some, (0,100]%, portion of the benefit provided by] the vaccines wear off after a certain amount of time. This makes statistics like 99.7% of Waterford h…

My understanding and it could be wrong is that they can't lower their rates, (and might actually have to increase to compensate for more vacancy) because it will affect their abili…

And don't forget flipping a car is a lot faster and easier than flipping a house at much lower capital. This makes each cycle of trial and error a lot cheaper and a lot more freque…

I just want to say thanks, I have been experimenting with using xterm.js to connect to terminal API in jupyter notebooks and it has worked really well, plug and play (even editors …

Thank you! I just tried it and --max-filesize worked great, ... -o also worked however it would be nice if -o showed a bit of context around the match (maybe 50 chars or so before …

I also default to use ag now and it is good at picking up things like .gitignores to exclude files. It works very well, I just wish it had a flag to limit the size of files searche…

Hmm I wonder if it picked up timestamps as its initial filter.

There is sign on the wire near the traffic light that says no turns, not sure if it only applies to the other lane though.

This is a really good article and the examples are very pretty. I especially enjoyed the part about how filter:drop-shadow contours to the shape of the element (did not know that, …

Supposing there are Aliens FWIW I don’t know that they would perceive the same visible spectrum that we do, which might effect their ability to differentiate by color. And they mig…
