I use dontAsk mode[0] with read access to the entire file system, write access to files from the working directory[1], some git commands (git commit yes, git push no), and a script…

There's several web APIs for browser window positioning, like screenX/Y[0] (which is what OP uses), which allows for those classic pop-up based browser games from over a decade ago…

Video generation models generate videos of a predetermined duration, so if a character finishes a line but there's still seconds remaining, then the model still has to fill it in

In JavaScript, it's Math.PI.toString(2) Who knows how optimized Python or JavaScript's implementations are, but I'd imagine printing the binary representation of floating point num…

HTML is case insensitive, so is the same as , and custom element names must have a hyphen. Your component regex represents a JSX limitation, but web components do not need React. P…

I guess that makes sense. Since most non-privacy-focused Android distributions don't let users turn off the internet permission, keeping the permission secure likely ceased to be a…

It's pretty interesting that while both languages still receive new features, Java seems to stay ahead of JavaScript: - Java has long had a modern replacement for Date, while JavaS…

The main drawback with the page's unstyled design is that the page is not mobile friendly. Publishing web pages by manually editing HTML files is still very common today; any GitHu…

One of the strengths of TypeScript besides its expressiveness is that it's compatible with the massive npm ecosystem. Most packages only ship untyped JavaScript with type declarati…

It'd be nice if there was a live demo without needing to clone the repo. Though I suppose I could just try it out with a bookmarklet: javascript:import('https://esm.sh/writemark-ed…

I'm surprised it doesn't use proper HTML by default. I wasn't able to tab focus on the Administrator button on the login screen, and it turns out it's because the entire UI is div …

I personally rely on this behavior of LLMs. For example, for reviewing prose, I might ask the LLM to find five issues. If there are obvious issues I missed, then it'll find them. B…

> - dash: compounds word-parts (Sarbanes-Oxley) That's a hyphen, and (to be pedantic) style guides usually do not consider it a dash. There's also the 2-em dash in some style guide…

It is an en dash, not an em dash, since it's about as wide as an n. Some software substitutes a double hyphen -- with an en dash rather than em, and use the triple hyphen --- for t…

That's interesting. I think the bikes-facing-left bias probably comes from how humans use bikes: the kickstand is on the left, so people likely hold and approach bikes from its lef…

Machine learning used to be used as a buzzword alongside AI, though nowadays after the release of ChatGPT it seems they've settled on AI.

Why would it be at odds with accessibility? The text contrast is excellent in each section, and the light/dark segments clearly define the border between sections. Forced dark mode…

Designs can't be easily split into a pure light or dark mode, though. Before light/dark modes were popularized, it was common to have some parts be "dark" and other parts be "light…

It only works if you give it a screenshot, but it wouldn't work to block AI scrapers or fetch tools, and I think if printed out, it wouldn't work reliably if you took a photo, espe…

My guess is that it takes time to research what universal behavior users expect from a component based on examples in existing software. It's universal, so it has to work with ever…

Python is 0-indexed. In OP's example, the start parameter makes i start at 1. Their C++17 example prints starting from 0. Probably a mistake. If you look at the linked page for C++…
