    Downvoted why? I told the truth. Why would you use an antiquated feature that's not up to par with SVG? The absolutely ridiculous part of this is that they're using JS to create ad…

    And that’s a bad idea. HTML images maps are not responsive. Just use SVG, it works without any scripts and it resizes with the image. If you use you can also use a fully responsive…

    Yes and no. I’m in Switzerland, please follow my browser language. Don’t guess whether I speak Swiss, French, Italian, etc I’m in Laos, my OS is in English. Please show me Laotian.…

    Why wouldn’t Germans have their “browser languages configured correctly?” German is well supported by software. If Germans want German content, they’ll have their OS set to use Ger…

    This breaks my use case function shorten(text, length) const t = document.createElement('input') t.maxlength = length t.value = text return t.value }

    Google used to let you blacklist websites many moons ago, that would go a long way already. Now there are a few extensions that do that, but obviously they only hide the results fr…

    It depends. Neat short animations can be nice. Even your lightbulb “dimming in” and out would be quite nice. What you’re complaining about is the lightbulb taking 3 seconds to turn…

    Hey that Makepad looks great. Too bad it doesn’t make my phone keyboard appear. You know… the same thing you get by adding a plain `contentEditable` DOM attribute. Maybe reinventin…

    You’re talking about ecommerce, not automation. Automation is unrelated to where products are sold. Automation might just mean one fewer cashier at a regular store.

    Comment #23151728

    How does this make sense? Automation lowers prices, not margins. The prices go down because you don’t have to pay people. If it costs the same, you don’t lower prices just because …

    You’re confusing static with serverless. Your content is indeed static but your search is not: It’s handled by a service that parses your requests and produces output. Static conte…

    All of that doesn’t seem to belong on to CLI flags. I love the possibilities this opens up, but I’d much rather write a configuration file.

    I never got into React, but seeing it compared to Svelte I find it hilariously convoluted. Hooks make it even worse.

    This is correct. Many tools are split into multiple packages for — hear me out — convenience. I regularly extract features from my apps into new npm packages. This way they can be …

    Good luck vendoring node_modules. Why are these threads filled with people who know nothing about node? npm and yarn both have lockfiles for this purpose. Vendoring only bloats you…

    I don’t think it’s a language issue. Even for JavaScript bundlers you have the slow extensible bundle and the “new super fast bundler” that dies in a month because it only fits one…
