From what I understand, Svelte 4 calculated dependencies at compile time. Whereas Svelte 5 does it automatically at runtime based on which values are accessed in tracking contexts (effect / computed value callbacks). This means objects

There's a subreddit called /r/hfy for more positive scifi. It tends to be indie stuff and I think it goes a little too far in the other direction but at least some of the top-voted ones are interesting. Off the top of my head

As an outsider, the fact that cross-device stuff just works in apple's ecosystem is probably the biggest thing I'm jealous of. It's crazy that something as simple as screen casting is still hit or miss when it comes to (andro

I've been meaning to set up some nginx-level oauth. I have some self-hosted apps I want to share with friends / family but forcing them to remember a user / pass (basic auth) or run a vpn is a bit too much friction.
