Those animations are... series of steps, each with a description? How different is this from a plain text list? It's not that you can see forks or that the layout of the assembly l…

Sigh, I expected some crazy project like hooking a big Xeon rack to batteries, running Graphite or Android on it and sticking it in a backpack to use as a primary phone. That would…

The discourse is nuanced, but isn't CD standard sampling rate greater than anything that's obtainable in practice with vynil?

I might be weird, but I love phases 2 to 5 and I hate phase 1 with a passion. I hate speaking with people to see what their problems are. I want to solve problems, not user surveys…

Didn't we say a thousand of times that local apps are not "winning" because they can't be monetized (a bit like web games)?

The more sophisticated magazines had CRC codes after every line, so you could know where in the code you has mistyped.

This reminds me of https://github.com/electric-sql/d2ts . Not sure they're comparable, but they seem to be aiming at the same problem.

Question: aren't you allowed to photograph or film anyone you want in public? Or the target being underage somehow removes this right? I always thought you can film whoever you wan…

> the cultural values that a detached elite wish to impose on their offspring for life have been transposed into law, policy, and regulation, and from there, into the personal live…

"Tightening" and "wiring" something. You're not in the construction industry, you're writing unit tests for a cookie modal.

Logseq is a mystery to me. They used to have a web version that they discontinued to "concentrate on the product", and that's where they lost me. I assume they "concentrated" on th…

Nobody says that React is great (also) because it's industry standard. If you pick up a React codebase you instantly understand how a component renders, where its state is, what it…

I see benchmarks for cold start, why there are no benchmarks for runtime performance Vs Node, Deno and Bun? (and quickjs et al.)?

Many definitions of tool explicitly exclude body organs to draw a line between innate mechanisms that are inestricably linked to the body and objects used to extend one's innate ph…

What is a good tool that's invisible? I'm genuinely curious. All tools I've used are either simple and heavily limited (so, not "invisible" because hard things are hard) or powerfu…

And some are more tied to the globalist and progressive-for-the-sake-of-progress views of their current founder. Why not let users pick their poison?

> If A = −1: Read one keypress from the human operator and place a number representing it into slot[B]. (If no key is pressed, place 0.) > If B = −1: Display slot[A] as one charact…

Do you mean traders set up buy or sell orders and they get matched when market opens? That's... Just how markets work normally?

No. I want either: 1. The copyright infringement of big corpos fully justifying my copyright infringement in the face of law 2. The copyright infringement of big corpos being prose…

The only scary thought is that all these important operations don't have a plan B if prosemirror, a software they don't write, don't own and presumably don't pay, goes away.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but nobody has any moral obligation to be inclusive in content they share on their personal blog, for free, and nobody should reasonably expect it.

How do you bundle web workers that import dependencies? iirc the issue in esbuild for that is still open and users are manually building their workers as separate entry points, whi…

@afavour if you need precompilation in CI can't you simply use... tsc?

Don't we have `tsx` and `nodemon` (or the native Node reloader) for that? What are the DX gaps you see on the server side out of on-the-fly transpilation and reload on watch?

I'm always curious of the use case when someone proposes Node code bundling. What's the advantage? Obfuscation in SEA?
