yeah, I did get it to transpile with the babel command, but I couldn't get it to accept the babel-env preset, so it just transpiled from modern javascript to modern javascript, whi…

on the note of babel, I don't usually do front end stuff but the other day I wanted to transpile one single javascript file to support older browsers, one time and then never again…

i hadn't heard about this, that certainly sounds pretty good

people can already do that with javascript anyway

TIL about user-select:none; That's useful, I hate copying code snippets alongside line numbers and other weirdness

no it doesn't, the simple no-prefix solution requires infinite lookahead

maybe not all at once, but if you go back a hundred years, life is pretty different indeed.

jeeze, what were you wearing at the time in terms of pants?

yeah, a book is a particularly strange object to do that with. It's not like it's going to have gold rims, automatic spill prevention and drop parachute, and self-reading abilities…

Yes, unfortunately this is often the case. people who don't really use or test the site in tor put in some half-baked support and it just ends up making things worse. But my grieva…

if there's one thing I hate, it's websites "supporting" tor by redirecting from a specific article to the main page of their (in this case non-functional) onion URL. twitter did th…

the pine phone has end user replaceable firmware for its LTE modem. there exists an unofficial open source alternative for the official firmware (which incidentally has vulnerabili…

and yet they chose to use strings for their api, eh?

dicts are just a little too easy to use. You just smear it down, pass it around, and you're in business. If you really want to shoot yourself in the foot, also modify its structure…

if you really care about static type checking, you probably wouldn't be using C

i hate the english version of amazon.de, for some reason amazon keeps activating this for me, and now whenever i type in an english book title it "helpfully" translates it to germa…

I guess otherwise book stores might order more conservatively, which might result in less sales

I think their point was less to assign blame, but whether or not it was war related.

Well the article does state: >At first I thought they were jokes or just snarky remarks, but after a day of following up with folks, it actually turns out not to be a joke. So who'…

Agent Poettering, welcome back. You've done tremendous work for us. *I actually don't care strongly about systemd one way or the other but couldn't resist the joke

I love 'em but I don't usually use them on nuts, since there's better tools for the job. The fact that they're parallel makes them good for a lot of situations, like pushing someth…

iOS 12 still sees a pinch of usage, because it was the last version (before 16) that dropped some devices. Anything older than that seems to be pretty much not used anymore except …

It's a really common project for them. Certainly a better option than a jacobs ladder or fractal wood burning, since you have to just take the usual mains voltage precautions, and …

a galvanically isolated transformer, i.e. a voltage that is not referenced to ground, meaning an RCD/GFCI will not be able to trigger if you touch it and it starts zapping you
