It seems like the move is to force ByteDance to set up a company incorporated wholly in the United States, which would then be subject to the oversight of the US government. Then, …

I suspect they want better condition handling. Because JavaScript lacks a useful conditional expression beyond ternary expressions, condition handling in JSX generally uses boolean…

Most computer users don't use command-line apps day in and day out. Most computer users nowadays use chat apps (Discord, Slack, Whatsapp) and have probably encountered bots on thos…

Substitute software for standard accountancy practices or a filing system that led to lost files, giving the incorrect impression that postmasters were stealing, and the result wou…

It would be nice if the author would add mozjpeg[1] to the comparison. At certain image resolutions, it can produce smaller file sizes than WebP, and because it is still a jpeg, it…

I think the use of template strings simplifies it, even inline: const { status } = await send(`${capitalize(greeting)}!`) console.log(status) It does reduce the number of discrete …

Perhaps this falls into the repetitive boilerplate category you referred to, but if you want framework-agnostic domain objects that still work well with Svelte, create your own usi…

In my experience, the quality and depth of my code reviews were a main contributing element in my last promotion conversation for a senior+ role. It wasn't even a metric I had to s…

I'm viewing it from Ireland, and half way down the page, I see a full-screen banner for Disney+ with a notable personality from each of their franchises Moana (Disney), Mr Incredib…

I saw a production of Ulysses twice in the Abbey Theatre in Dublin on two separate runs. I had already read the book, but seeing it performed was a completely different experience,…

The audiobook, narrated by Jim Norton, is also great. His delivery is quite engaging, and any parts that might be a bit impenetrable while reading flow over you, and you can hook b…

I understand the rationale behind using the native constructs of JavaScript as much as possible, but this is where I feel Solid.js made a reasonable compromise to pragmatism. There…

If the people don't exist, they can't produce. You can make all the policy decisions you want, but the economy will stagnate if you don't have people working in fields or factories…

It's helping Germany offset an ageing population and declining economic productivity. If age distribution in your population is becoming unbalanced and you can't encourage the curr…

I think one of the biggest benefits, which I rarely see mentioned, is that all the class names are shared. When building your CSS for production, you can look at the classes you us…

This is technically true if you go out and start running a lot from zero if you are overweight or ignore your body and the warnings it gives in the run-up to injury. If you build u…

You also don't need the mat, also known as the pellicle, to start brewing kombucha. It is entirely redundant. Just get a couple of bottles of unpasteurised, unflavoured kombucha an…

Ain't that the truth? So much folklore and superstition about how the fermentation process works. I remember being told you can't make Jun with a Kombucha starter because it's a di…

It is geared toward people who want an inexpensive, convenient meal that theoretically contains all the nutrients you need. Some people use it as an alternative to breakfast or lun…

I used to work for an automated property valuation platform. It was basically a property valuation workflow tool that presented valuers with the right data at the right time so the…

Minor correction, Svelte dispenses with the Virtual DOM an algorithm for making DOM updates, not the Shadow DOM which is a completely separate browser construct for isolating subtr…

Or there is Inferno which is VDOM based and outperforms Svelte on most benchmarks. The whole narrative of "VDOM is pure overhead" doesn't hold out in practice, and I suspect really…

We used to listen to that 3 CD box set on family driving holidays when I was a child. We get the ferry from Dublin, drive through the UK, get the Eurotunnel to Calais and then head…
