I think it’s less about being able to spend the money (of course you can) than needing to spend it. Do you really need a 100-million yacht and a 20-bedroom villa? No.

There’s a solution to this problem: https://github.com/sindresorhus/hide-files-on-github Additionally, your OS probably already natively hides files that start with a dot, so this is just a UI problem. Please don’t “so

I recently dropped my last shared hosting in favor of Vercel/Netlify and some content was lost. This solution wouldn’t work for me because the very reason why the content was lost is that I don’t want to pay for hosting I barely use. A

WordPress does this by default and that’s the most common platform to date. I’d dare to say that most websites have those attributes, but most SPAs don’t, because that’s too hard.

The attributes are overridden by CSS. You should have: max-width: 100%; height: auto; What the other user is talking about is a new feature that FINALLY uses the attributes to preserve the ratio before the image starts loadin

I hope you don't use that since it randomly returns either an element or a list of elements, so you'd have to also add an if/else every time you use it. This is my go-to: const $ = document.querySelector.bind(document);

It's up to you to chose reasonable modules by reasonable developers. Notice I didn't call it a library, it's a 1kb module that has the code from the example + fixes you'd want anyway.

I would never recommend copy-pasting this code into your project: https://htmldom.dev/copy-text-to-the-clipboard I get "trying to stay vanilla", but any reasonably-common snippet should either be installed from np

Which link are you more likely to click on? - GitHub satanically messing with Markdown - changes 666 to DCLXVI - GitHub changes numbers to Roman numerals in lists I’d call it functional clickbait.

With GitHub templates and npm’s init/create packages you already have options without having to use an editor. Examples: npm init esm npm init react-app https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init

That’s why you should put a pass phrase on it. Firefox syncs my passwords but has to ask for my master password at launch. Same goes for Google Chrome’s passwords: they’re encrypted at rest and can’t be displayed online for that reason, you

For those who are more familiar with npm, there are two packages for this by Sindre Sorhus. You can run them without preinstalling them with npx, if you wish: npx speed-test npx fast-cli The second one uses fast.com

This is the same exact comment I see on most HN posts about services. Probably most people’s time in maintenance and development is worth more than $9/month, that’s why these services exist. Semi-related xkcd https://xkcd.co

eval doesn’t work with some CSP settings, the article mentions this and other limits of previous solutions.

What percentage of the population speeds vs what percentage has track days? Surely those who have track days can disable the limit or buy a car without it, while the vast majority of "casual speeders" won't be affected by it.

ML generates some rather bad artifacts. Just look for those. Even in this[1] difficult comparison you can see the non-human repeating skin patterns on the right and the awkward teeth contour. Also hair-on-skin often looks wet and with unnat

Give up. There’s too much content, you obviously can’t handle it all. Just acknowledge this and just enjoy what you can. A few years ago I thought I could get through my to-read list, then I realized I couldn’t and stopped worrying about it

I recently flushed years of Google history but I kept the tracking enabled. I’ll keep flushing it regularly and you could do the same. I don’t really care that they track me for a short time, it’s not like they don’t keep logs anyway.

Games are not just about a ball moving. People attach feelings to players and teams, especially if they’re from their city. A computer match wouldn’t have either

Isn’t macOS doing that? The Mac App Store only allows sandboxed apps and macOS allows almost only apps from the store to be installed (+ certified developers) unless you change the system's settings.

I call about 2 hours a week and still manage to use my phone more than 20 hours a week. Is calling still the primary function of my "phone"? We just call it phone because that's what we attached a computer to, but it's m

That's one way to bloat your repo. There's no reason to commit your dependencies if your intent is security. Just use the lock file. The packages won't change on npm and you'll always get the same version for all sub-dep

by bfred_it 8y ago
npm handles sub-dependencies with ease so people aren't afraid to pull in smaller dependencies. Also since the code has to be downloaded (or uploaded to small lambdas, for example), JS developers are generally weary of depending on lar

Most Italian words pretty much match their IPA representation, minus the pretty regular exceptions like Q, C, G, Z and H and the rare irregularity. It may be difficult to an anglophone, but I'd argue that the phonetic irregularities of

That's a good way to see it, but the copy-paste comparison is bad. Copy-paste is so low-level that I can do everything with it, without the iOS having to wait years to get the functionality (if ever) e.g. I want to translate a message.
