    Generally I’d say that this could work on people that don't expect violence, like the racists who go around the city harassing immigrants. Why are they making other people’s lives …

    With your library one has to write types twice. I understand that it’s not TypeScript’s job at the moment, but it’d be great to enable runtime checks with the flick of a switch wit…

    The difference is that I can update all dependencies without having to verify whether they contain breaking changes, because I can just look at the number. Conformism helps us thin…

    I love Bill Burr’s take on this. I can’t find the clip, but the resolution was that after receiving a punch, maybe you’ll reconsider “ehh maybe i was being a bit of a dick back the…

    There’s an obvious solution to this: require('clamp')(num, min, max) 1 million monthly downloads

    Apple is doing great even if they’re not super friendly to developers. Why change? I think that they could become better once they start losing some ground, kinda like Microsoft is…

    Lol why do you donate to a company that made $120 million in ads last year?

    Playing devil’s advocate: Is it possible that, yes, of course you can work from home, and you must do that during lockdown, but is it as efficient as working in the office? I think…

    I don’t get this project. This is nothing special, you can very easily spot that every T is identical. You might as well just use a handwritten font.

    I kind of agree. I remember having to deal with T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM Sure the solution is still one search away, but…

    I think they’d need some hardware to verify that the transaction happened. A small business owner can use their own phone, but other businesses need a smartphone per point of sale,…

    I think this is a good default, as long as one can opt to see the full URL. A slightly better solution would be to still show the path at 50% grey or less. It might be hard to read…

    I don’t think Node has trouble from the very first installation. A brew install will set you up with the latest version of both node and npm and they will work. At most you’ll have…

    “Almost never” is still more frequent than “never,” so it’s still positive.

    Indeed, one could even automate the process, some sort of tool that automatically copies the dependency’s code, kinda like an install. I think someone already wrote such tool.

    I think that many of those with PR would rather be (first-class) citizens; it’s not always just a personal choice to not be one. I think it’s pretty clear that if you plan your lif…

    This is me. When I stay at cheap hotels that have bogus reviews like “small room”, I’m very inclined to leave more positive and realistic reviews, and even to be more understanding…

    I think you completely misunderstood. > Requesting an image should be requesting a image, not a specific representation of that image. This is exactly what I’m saying. The image is…

    I’m completely ignorant about this but is it possible that they’re referring to a “debugging backdoor”?

    Years ago I remember seeing a progressive image format that was supposed to solve the resolution issue. The loader could stop loading as soon as it figured it had enough quality. T…

    I’m not doubting you, but how is that even possible? How do these people visit any other website? I don’t think much works in IE8 nowadays.

    I’m sure you love the modern web and its 2MB average page load, but most people don’t. This is code, so after it’s downloaded it needs to be parsed and executed… needlessly. What a…

    Wait till you throw a package.json with "type": "module" in there. Everything used to work until Node 12.15, then 12.16 started throwing when trying to require type:module packages…

    Good point. That might probably be the reason why Apple will be able to get away with it in the end. They’re not a monopoly and users do have a choice.

    Is that why I occasionally find random apk files in my downloads? It is a problem, there’s a bunch of malware on android.
