It could also be a pop-up or a clear icon in a corner without disrupting the movie. It does not have to be baked into the video stream as long as it's displayed. I'm not sure what …

This is a standalone game that needs to be purchased. For PC, it can be acquired through Steam ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/ ). It is also available on c…

To go further, semver provides semantics and an ordering but it says nothing about version requirement syntax. The caret operator to describe a range of versions is not part of the…

Here is mine: https://demurgos.net There's not much, but I keep a few articles and games there.

The "unexpected" part is that the browser automatically fills some headers on behalf of the user, that the (malicious) origin server does not have access to. For most headers it's …

Yeah, it's hard to prevent a sufficiently motivated dev from shooting itself in the foot; but these still help. > You conveniently left out where the Foo string is computed from so…

The point of my message is that you should avoid the `log(string)` signature. Even if it's appealing, it's an easy perf trap. There are many ideas if you look at SQL libs. In my ex…

I feel like there's a parallel with SQL where you want to discourage manual interpolation. Taking inspiration from it may help: you may not fully solve it but there are some API id…

It's definitely a possible solution if you control how the file are displayed. In my case I preferred the files to be safe regardless of the mechanism used to view them (less risk …

What are TV brands/OSes that complain the least when not connected to the internet?

I looked into it for work at some point as we wanted to support SVG uploads. Stripping is not enough to have an inert file. Scripts can also be attached as attributes. If you want …

It is intentional to avoid non-free projects from building on top of gcc components. I am not familiar enough with gcc to know how it impacts out-of-tree free projects or internal …

Internal means "not exposed outside some boundary". For most people, this boundary encompasses something larger than a single database, and this boundary can change.

You are talking about forward compatibility. JS is backwards compatible: new engines support code using old features. JS is not forward compatible: old engines don't support code u…

No it doesn't. A global flag is a no-go as it breaks modularity. A local opt-in through dedicated types or methods is being designed but it's not stable.

That's a nice idea, thank you. I have personal blog, I'll try to clean it up a bit and provide performance measurements so it's worth posting. Regarding the official documentation,…

I believe that you are describing `Vec::with_capacity` which allows to change the initial reserved memory on construction. `reserve` and `reserve_exact` are used when mutating an e…

> I'm not sure if this isn't as common as I think it is - but what's wrong with typing `ip` into a terminal (that's always open anyway)? I'm a regular Linux user, but I wouldn't kn…

Where is the spec? I can't find an entry on MDN. Is there a way to get reproducibility? In the same browser or across browsers? Even if it's not the default mode.

React native is just an example, the point is that the npm registry has no issue distributing binaries. Sass, Prisma, native DB drivers, or any other project using node-gyp or Node…

> I don't know much about go, and I've only scratched the surface with node, but as far as node goes I think it just distributes JS? As a sibling comment posted, Node packages have…

I'm not very familiar with them, but I always assumed that there is a lot of overlap between the maintainers of both projects.

Sometimes you need to embed binary data in a text format (e.g. JSON).

> The ECMAScript/JavaScript language itself, however, exposes characters according to UCS-2, not UTF-16. The native JS semantics are UCS-2. Saying that it's UTF-16 is misleading an…

If the logic is compute heavy, Rust with Wasm can be a good approach. TypeScript on both ends is also a pragmatic choice. You can still have a boundary in the backend for lower lev…
