Wired wrote an article in 2017 [1] on whether it's possible/probable to do that. Technology has evolved a lot since then, so it's a lot more feasible, but the article describes how far metadata alone can go. For example, let&

This sounds plausible. But otherwise, there are "tournaments" like the TCEC which is for bots only and the way it works is, the bots are adjusted to play a specific opening and they're on their own after the Nth move. Stockfi

Newish Casio user here. From what I understand, it's so that you can switch it to 24h after accidentally switching it to 12h and vice versa.

It's pretty slick looking which is worth something to me. Not $750, but something. But even though some of the UX choices of Jellyfin didn't make sense to me, it's an amazing piece of software, so I'm sticking with that

The comparison section says the MIT license is not "free" because it's not copyleft. How come is more permissive considered less free?

Oxc is not the first Rust-based product on the market that handles JS, there is also SWC which is now reasonably mature. I maintain a reasonably large frontend project (in the 10s of thousands of components) and SWC has been our default for

I had the chance to finish reading and it looks like Trigger were using an older version of PNPM which didn't do any of the above, and have since implemented everything I've mentioned in my post, plus some additional Git security.

> you have no appetite for a better security model For what it's worth, there are some advancements. PNPM - the packager used in this case - doesn't automatically run postinstall scripts. In this case, either the engineer allow

Well you do learn that a no-build process can work at some scale, and you can see what tech stack is used and roughly how it works. But regardless, I didn't mean to make any argument for or against this, I'm saying this was one of

37 Signals [0] famously uses their own Stimulus [1] framework on most of their products. Their CEO is a proponent of the whole no-build approach because of the additional complexity it adds, and because it makes it difficult for people to p

The repository introduces it as indeed based on Helium [0]. The cool part about Helium is that it's based on patches, rather than forking the full source code. I don't know how sustainable this is in the long term, but it's a

Same here. A few years ago I thought maybe the ringing isn't normal. It hadn't occurred to me before that. I found a YouTube video of a "tinnitus demo" with the right sound and frequency. I could only start hearing it at

One is impulsive, the other requires structure. The two are not mutually exclusive though, because both conditions are pretty diverse. AuDHD is a term used to describe people with both.

Yes it does, you're correct and I have misread. I can't edit, delete, or flag my initial reply unfortunately.

I'm really not a fan of CSS in JS, however it does have it's use-cases. Class mangling is very convenient with it and allows you to be prescriptive about how you're doing theming support, which is great when building librarie

Not a package manager, but Renovate bot has a setting like that (minimumReleaseAge). Dependabot does not (Edit: does now). So while your package manager will install whatever is newest, there are free solutions to keep your dependencies up

The term originates from a Joel Spolsky article (or at least it's where I know it from). It's a great read: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/04/21/dont-let-architect... Feels unrelated to the art

I use it to shorten common requests I have for my colleagues, e.g. to not forget their code reviews, or alias phrases I commonly use to a :command. It's handy as a form filler too. I've seen people using it to insert emojis, lorem

I've been working for the same company for over 7 years and a lot of the shared code that other developers use is mine. Frequently I would guide other developers to implementing something and in doing so I'd guide them down to wha

My employer sends a take-home test. It is relatively easy and not very time-consuming. Its main purpose is to act as a basic filter and to provide some material to base an interview on. In the recent couple of years I have seen a lot more p

This is an option but that makes it easier to conceal malicious code within node_modules as an internal threat actor or make super sure there's a culture of actually reviewing those changes. In cases like that it helps to do npm instal

Frontend dev here. Hats off to Ciechanowski as always. The code is readable and works well, and looks written with love. I wouldn't do it this way, but then again, I wouldn't do this at all. Probably couldn't. This is an exam

I disagree. Deception is the act of convincing one in untrue information. The information I'm conveying is truthful and it's my words. The voice, generated or not, is not what I'm trying to convince people into believing.
