This community built React 18 adapter actually works pretty well in my experience. Some failures, but worked for multiple thousands of test files for my use case. https://www.npmjs…

Did you use Chat GPT 3.5 or Chat GPT 4? GPT 4 solves this correctly when I ran it (but admittedly, by nature of the way it works non deterministically, it might have failed for you…

I wrote a thesis on using constraint satisfaction with minizinc to solve the genome edit distance problem: https://github.com/jpnelson/genome-edit/blob/master/thesis.p... My takeaw…

They do actually talk about this idea in the talk. The "shortest possible program" that can be used to describe the music is undecidable, but there is a short description, in the c…

Would it be possible to mitigate the CSS based fingerprinting using URLs, by having the client forcibly cache the fonts / urls? I think then on return to the site, there would be c…

Makes sense! I think I probably won't use it much yet, as the example you mentioned (messaging apps for link sharing) works pretty well, and often they also have a view where you c…

Congrats on the launch! This looks like a great project and I'm sure you learnt a lot from building it. Some first impressions: 1. You used Pinterest as an example link in the guid…

> 11. Cooking pollutes the air. Opening windows for a few minutes after cooking can dramatically improve air quality. After bad bush fires where I live I invested in both a CO2 mon…

Often node modules need to depend on git to do developer experience things. Having it be available in node with no dependencies is really nice, you don't need to assume anything ab…

This is a good use case for service workers and is mentioned in this post from 2016: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/06/sw-readabl... It covers some pros and cos, th…

By this argument, JSX shouldn't be published to NPM either. You might argue that you know what you're consuming if you're importing, say, a React component, and it's likely written…

I'd love it if there was some sort of "helper terminal" that could teach people things like git, and basic command line stuff as they went. It could catch common errors and provide…

Are there any popular implementations of immediate mode GUI for the web? It might be interesting to have one that could then "eject" into a stateful UI for when things start to get…

That's an interesting perspective. I think you're right that we don't have "correct" and standard answers because we don't assume total competency, but I think we don't assume tota…

I did some work with this a while ago to try and use MiniZinc to calculate genome edit distances, which was quite interesting: https://github.com/jpnelson/genome-edit The hardest p…

The contents certainly might be, but I think having a reference sheet like this is the absolute minimum for this sort of hearing, to maintain any sort of coherent argument. There's…

\o/ welcome!

I don't know, it's fine.

You don't need to abstract this to that extent. You might be able to say in most cases it's a bad idea to use your company to express a political opinion, which I agree with, but t…
