Back when I played Minecraft, I wrote one I was pretty pleased with: If you have a stack of items, you can pick up half of them by right-clicking on it, which is very convenient when you're dividing out a stack on the crafting grid to

Others have already mentioned that you can replace "for (const k in props) elem[k] = props[k]" with "Object.assign(elem, props)"; further to that, in modern browsers, you can replace "for (const kid of kids) elem.ap

I guess you could send changes to the DB on-the-fly inside a transaction, so when the user clicks "save" it's just a matter of running COMMIT? Not sure what effect that would have on performance as the transaction grows, thou

I believe you're thinking of the "Facebook Container" addon - it's "official", in that it's made by people at Mozilla & has their corporate blessing, but it's not installed by default. AIUI, the o

Could you not use permissions.request() [0] to ask for access to a given site on-the-fly, when the user actually visits it? That seems to be how, for example, Reddit Enhancement Suite goes about getting perms for all the various sites it su

I find PCRE's rule easy enough: for a character you want to be taken literally, if it's punctuation backslash it, if it's not then don't; any unbackslashed punctuation (or backslashed non-punctuation) may be a metacharac

> python came up without a platform to support it What about numpy (+ its ecosystem, scipy/pandas/etc)? I get the impression that's contributed a lot to Python's growth over the years.

So I changed the z-index of Div A to be 5 or something. But it didn’t work! In Firefox, div A was on top, but in Chrome, Div B was on top. Argh! Why? ... why indeed? I can't think of any (presumably fairly simple) scenario where that

Sure, I don't disagree - I meant only to add context for anyone reading who was unfamiliar with Haskell, lest they come away with the impression that the lack of a .get()-equivalent was some kind of egregious oversight.

Neat! I can see myself using several of these. Erratum: the link meant for "openssl-hook" actually takes you to "otherport".

Very well. In the vast majority of the UK , you don't need ID. That checkmark on your list remains misleading at best.
