I've been using Linux on/off since the late 90s. And now, both my mini-PC and my laptop are running Fedora, and I swear by them. So as much as I want to believe that others share my taste, I'm not sure how to interpret the tw

Yeah, that was my first reaction to that headline too. Given a second thought, he probably means the opposite of "replace", so in this context, " maintain people." maybe? I know marketing headlines shouldn't be int

podman-compose is "mostly" compatible. I "plain" podman at work, but there we just have a bunch of shell scripts that spin up/down/build containers. For regular dev work, it's fine. For personal stuff, I&

podman-compose has gotten much better. I used it for a work project a few months ago, and it ran fine. That said, I know there are some random little things podman-compose doesn't support, so be careful. What I'm experimenting wit

Interesting that ports can be written so quickly with AI. But that aside, I have to ask...why? You want a super performant bundler/runtime/package manager written in rust with TS support, Deno has this already.

I lean towards vanilla javascript and webcomponents myself, and eschew large frameworks in favor of lighter, or in some cases, no framework at all. That said, this and many other webcomponent articles mischaracterize usage cases of webcompo

Neat, and neat to see the burn framework getting used. I tried this on latest Chromium, but my system froze until my OS killed Chromium. My VPN connection died right after downloading the model too. (it doesn't have a bandwidth cap e

Yeah that'd be really something. If you could just pay the cost up-front, rather than worry about how much every newer request cost, that really changes the game. There's still many other issues to worry about, like security. Bu

Artifactory works fairly well. Although admittedly, when a user grabs a new dependency, they're downloading from the npmjs registry like anyone else. Really, the killer combo would be to have some kind of LLM-based tool that would sca

I really wish web components weren't promoted as a "framework alternative" and more of a standardization of custom display components. Frameworks like enhance.dev and lit.dev are good examples of this.

So this isn't even a question about web workers, it's a question about how to prop-drill non-string/number data through multiple layers of web-components. Tbh, I'm not sure there's a way for that. But why not just d

>just adding a method to a class. OOP 101. You're right, it is just a method call from a class. Nothing interesting or new. And that's exactly why I like it! I like me FE code as boring, unimpressive and as simple as possible.

Great resource! I particularly like the fact that their web component section doesn't use the shadow DOM. It's really too bad custom elements got associated with shadow DOM, as they're so useful beyond the more niche usage ca

You can invoke custom methods and pass in any kind of data into them. As in class SomeElement extends HTMLElement { constructor() { super(); } someMethod(x) { this.innerHTML = `<h1>${x}</h1>`;

The nice thing about the plain "vanilla" approach is it can be used to enhance a more traditional SSR-rendered site. And it doesn't need a complete rewrite in React or whatever. The author of this article blog is describing s

I've been using Zed for a few months now. One thing I really like about Zed is its relatively discrete advertising of new features, like this edit prediction one. Its just a banner shown in the upper-left, and it doesn't block m

How would plumbing and wiring work? The article states that the wall is a semi-hollow, corduroy pattern, so do the printers leave openings in the walls so pipes/wiring get shoved into them after?

Maybe there will be forks that remove all the collaboration stuff. I can't imagine it'd be that hard.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience, but this is typical treatment from Air Canada. As a Canadian who often flies, I suggest going with Porter or WestJet instead. They're both leagues ahead of Air Canada.
