yeah, I did get it to transpile with the babel command, but I couldn't get it to accept the babel-env preset, so it just transpiled from modern javascript to modern javascript, which is not very useful

on the note of babel, I don't usually do front end stuff but the other day I wanted to transpile one single javascript file to support older browsers, one time and then never again. I tried for like an hour and I could not figure out h

i hadn't heard about this, that certainly sounds pretty good

people can already do that with javascript anyway

TIL about user-select:none; That's useful, I hate copying code snippets alongside line numbers and other weirdness

no it doesn't, the simple no-prefix solution requires infinite lookahead

maybe not all at once, but if you go back a hundred years, life is pretty different indeed.

yeah, a book is a particularly strange object to do that with. It's not like it's going to have gold rims, automatic spill prevention and drop parachute, and self-reading abilities. it's probably going to be some textbook

Yes, unfortunately this is often the case. people who don't really use or test the site in tor put in some half-baked support and it just ends up making things worse. But my grievances aside (and please don't take this personally,

if there's one thing I hate, it's websites "supporting" tor by redirecting from a specific article to the main page of their (in this case non-functional) onion URL. twitter did this too a while back, they made a big sho

the pine phone has end user replaceable firmware for its LTE modem. there exists an unofficial open source alternative for the official firmware (which incidentally has vulnerabilities that quectel seems to be unwilling to patch)

dicts are just a little too easy to use. You just smear it down, pass it around, and you're in business. If you really want to shoot yourself in the foot, also modify its structure here and there along the way, it's just so conven

i hate the english version of amazon.de, for some reason amazon keeps activating this for me, and now whenever i type in an english book title it "helpfully" translates it to german

I guess otherwise book stores might order more conservatively, which might result in less sales

I think their point was less to assign blame, but whether or not it was war related.

Well the article does state: >At first I thought they were jokes or just snarky remarks, but after a day of following up with folks, it actually turns out not to be a joke. So who's to say he didn't? Twitter seems just to be wh

I love 'em but I don't usually use them on nuts, since there's better tools for the job. The fact that they're parallel makes them good for a lot of situations, like pushing something into another thing, or even just gri

iOS 12 still sees a pinch of usage, because it was the last version (before 16) that dropped some devices. Anything older than that seems to be pretty much not used anymore except for extremely rare cases, based on browser usage statistics,

It's a really common project for them. Certainly a better option than a jacobs ladder or fractal wood burning, since you have to just take the usual mains voltage precautions, and not worry about arcs and other high voltage schenanigan

What they're getting at is that while it is the amount of amperage that goes through your heart that determines your likelihood of dying, you need a certain voltage to overcome the resistance of your skin to achieve such an amperage. A

these are with a low voltage high current winding, instead of the standard 2000v winding, though, which is much safer. The danger of the unmodified microwave transformer isn't really so much that it has exposed mains voltage (although

I feel like a lot of people have kind of wisened up about this hypothetical future anyway, now that we're seeing FSD in practice. Sure, some problems would be eliminated by all cars being self driving, and the roads being tailored to t
