I know you’d rather see it native but if you’re open to sponsor its development, I could make a custom addon for that.

This is a good read for JS developers. TL;DR: they’re not the same thing. Only sometimes they match (e.g. `id`) but often they don’t. Something fun: JSX does not use attributes, even if they look like it. That’s why they have unusual nami

The fun part is that they completely botched an experience that iOS can delivery natively. I built a mini app to extract the HSL stream from a URL and have iOS play it. It usually solves my problems with it: https://arte.vercel.a

Only pre-existing MV2 extensions can be updated. New extensions have had to be MV3 for exactly 12 months already: since January 17th 2022.

Look into chrome.storage.session, they created it explicitly to allow in-memory storage for those scenarios. Not as easy as just setting a property, but good enough.

Italy has SPID. It’s a federated login system based on your fiscal code (every Italian has one). You can use it to log into any government service and potentially banks and such. If you do lose access to your 2FA (required, it’s your phone)

I don’t think it's actually a net benefit. Adding the wrong value degrades the experience. I've seen links marked with `role=button` for no reason and generally roles added when one is implied (role=link is implied on anchors for

Digital menus aren't bad, but very few can implement them effectively. I do like having access to the menu for the whole dinner though and not have to wait for the waiter, ever. In general, yeah, give me a piece of paper, there are far

Back when npm didn’t have any “similar name” restrictions I did the same for some popular packages. My redirects also helped me a couple of times as I wonder whether a package name had a dash or not. https://github.com/frega

Yeah but… money. You can’t pay rent with smiles. Accepting donations would probably mean having to work less at their main job. Or they could re-donate it. There are people willing and able to pay, leaving those money on the table is pure w

JSX requires a build though, it's easier to enforce syntax when a missing character will just work while writing it . There are no JSX errors at runtime for this reason.

It's kind of weird to work for free though, isn't it? Sure it's something we like doing, but I really see no reason to reject free money. For uBlock this free money would be a fairly large amount, I'm sure. Even if that&

GitHub Sponsors is a technical solution, but I still need to handle the legal side of the equation.

Think of TypeScript as writing JavaScript with inline tests: It takes longer but it produces "safer" code (with fewer bugs) Is it worth learning it? I'm sure type-less job offers will continue to exists in large numbers, so i

For those who don’t understand what it’s doing (like me at first): You first have to host these index.html and sw.js on a regular server (or use the URL in the readme) and then this service will serve a folder of your choice directly from

It's interesting that you mention Chrome’s silliness when I find Firefox’ dev tools to be severely lacking, especially for WebExtensions. Examples include: - complete inability to run code from the console into the content script

Async iterables are async generators. They call .next() on the iterable, that returns a promise, the promise resolves with either a new item to loop with, or with `done`, which will stop the loop.

That’s just an example piece of code. If I used your code there wouldn’t be an `await` in the loop and people wouldn’t understand.

`for await` is for async iterables, which is different. The loop body will still block the loop. Compare it to the all/map example I wrote.

My guess is that they were using /.mov$/ to check the username, which is missing an escape.

Thanks! I think it wouldn’t await the whole loop though for (const item of iterable) async do { await item() } This would be equivalent to Promise.all(arr.map(async item => { await item() }) Notice the l

This reminds me of something I’d like to see in JavaScript: Loops that accept `await` in their body without pausing the whole loop. This is already possible with: await Promise.all(arr.map(async item => { await item() }) … b
