I poke around in node_modules with some regularity (often in combination with the debugger) and it’s always nice to find actual source files, not just source maps.

Any recommendations for a pre-amp and DAC?

Roll 12 6-sided dice in turn, record the sequence. What are the chances that specific sequence should be rolled? Less than 1 in 2 billion. Anything remarkable about that? Clearly not. If your counterpart thinks otherwise, well…

Flights are within a geofence, overseen by flight crew who can take over remotely at any time. Still surprising no license is required.

The latter is roughly what we do on the project I work on: English string directly in the source, plus a human-readable identifier that helps translators understand the context of the string they’re translating. One script to extract all st

It doesn’t have to mean anything. Music is pure pleasure. Vibrations in the air that tickle our brains just so.

May I ask how you identified them as silicon bugs? And by silicon bugs do you mean random bit flips, or something else?

Looks really nice. One comment from a usability perspective: it would be nice if the center of rotation were a point on the trail, rather than a point somewhere underneath the landscape. Better still if that center point was dynamic as you

Very nice idea, and nicely implemented. One of those things that seems like it should already have existed, especially with how many headless CMSs there are out there, having a personal CMS of sorts just makes sense.

One reason could be to enable novel fare systems, like London has with its Oyster network. You can travel around (scanning your contactless debit / credit card) without thinking about how much you’re paying, safe in the knowledge that

If you start poking, you find those stories have more holes than a fishing net. Best to suspend disbelief. That said, I like your suggestions. There’s altogether too little introspection on what the point of schooling should be. To my mind,

Can anyone else chip in with their post-acquisition Auth0 experiences? I’m genuinely concerned about its future. Been quite badly burned by another (totally unrelated) third-party service that got acquired. Went from having a direct line to

At least it’s not ‘codes’. That one sets my teeth on edge.

Having to give a phone number to join the waitlist is not so nice. Can’t think of any good reason not to accept an email.

It’s not going to be write-only for long: the Copilot Labs version of the VS Code extension introduces brushes, which (by analogy to Photoshop) can be used to retouch your code [1]. Make code more readable, fix bugs, add types, and so on.

To add to this: don’t touch your eyes when you’ve been in public places and touched unsanitary surfaces. Your eyes are a really easy path into the body for pathogens.

I have a suspicion you’re right about what ChatGPT could write about this scenario, but I wager we’re still a long way from an AI that could actually operationalize whatever suggestions it might come up with. It’s goalpost shifting to b

Cream and eggs really is the bee’s knees. I’m keen to try out Kenji’s method, but my approach yields pretty good results too, with perhaps less fuss (one pan, one fork, one spatula): Melt a good bit of butter in a saucepan until it’s just b

I’m inclined to agree. The article brushes over the type-safety provided by Prisma as being merely a ‘useful feature’ — but this is huge, especially working on a large project with lots of other developers. The discipline imposed by strict

The idea of super-capacitors in cars is positively horrifying, knowing how explosive just the small ones can be. At grid level though, is there anything that speaks against them? Edit: to answer my own question, they look pretty good [1]. S

I think making you ‘solemnly swear I have a TV licence’ was a way to boil the frog, so to speak, from the days when no licence was required at all to use iPlayer. Jumping straight to a real verification step would have created an uproar. Gu
