There's nothing wrong with "dirty" HTML. Modern layouts require lots of wrapper elements--certainly some sites use them unnecessarily, but it's not reasonable to expect a nice modern layout to use the same number of elem

I feel like I am going insane. Who in their right mind would feed an LLM raw HTML in the first place?? HTML is a markup language. User agents present it in a way that makes sense for the user—visually, or through assistive technology. Nothi

Might be tolerable if it would have given us fully automated utopia, but instead we get to watch the world burn and know nobody’s gonna do anything about it.

If things keep going this direction my job title is just going to be "tool call". I'm a bit intrigued that he ended up happier now that Claude's in the driver's seat and he's playing a supporting role. Maybe I&

Really fresh approach to site “addons” by just copying in and owning a folder instead of installing a million packages.

Really excited for JS to finally get something similar with Iterator and AsyncIterator helper methods. It's way behind Ruby in that regard. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Ref

This is a cool approach. Definitely better than an all-at-once cutover! If only Ruby had better support for static typing though. Clearly infinite dynamism works for some folks and a lot of successful businesses, but I couldn't live wi

I’m working on eslint-plugin-solid for this reason, and while I haven’t implemented this yet (it’s complicated), it will eventually warn when something is wrong with reactivity in general.

Nit: to me at least, "Never deal with another freelancer" comes off as unnecessarily harsh (even if it resonates with some). I understand the product is targeted to early-stage startups without the budget to hire someone, but it

We've suffered under "bad parts" in JavaScript before, and the solution was not to use them, which works out fine for the most part. But I tend to agree, adding a functional language feature built in a way that conflicts with

In response to people repeatedly advocating for F# + partial application over Hack, TC39 responds with what is essentially a threat: > To emphasize, it is likely that an attempt to switch from Hack pipes back to F# pipes will result in T

Here’s the relevant section: > In most cases, React Native will use JavaScriptCore, the JavaScript engine that powers Safari. Note that on iOS, JavaScriptCore does not use JIT due to the absence of writable executable memory in iOS apps.

I think React hooks would fit nicely anywhere you need incremental computation, and a compiler is the first thing that comes to mind. They’re made for efficiently updating the output (DOM) in response to small changes in the input (sum of p

Esbuild does have a JS transform API, so you could write a command line tool that walks the file system (Babel, ESLint, Prettier, etc. all do this so you have examples), transforms each file, and writes the code back out. Snowpack's bu

I’d push it one step further and include “unskilled” labor too. The value added to society is measurably positive no matter the skill level of the immigrant.

Back in college, I had a summer research internship where the previous year, the interns tried to migrate a large Java code base to Gradle and left it in a broken state. Knowing little more than the Java language at the time, I spent about

Good point about conditional compilation. It’s a trade off I’ll leave for language implementors to make. I tend to think that easily preventing a malicious package from sending your file system contents to some server is usually worth 10-20

I would agree with you, except that LLVM IR isn’t platform independent. For all of Wasm’s warts it’s the best supported low level cross platform IR we have.

I think Wasm outside the browser could benefit package managers. As far as I know, Rust and some other compiled languages distribute their crates/packages in source code form, which then have to be compiled before use. If packages were
