Downvoted why? I told the truth. Why would you use an antiquated feature that's not up to par with SVG? The absolutely ridiculous part of this is that they're using JS to create additional DIVs on top of the image. Why use the map

And that’s a bad idea. HTML images maps are not responsive. Just use SVG, it works without any scripts and it resizes with the image. If you use <foreignObject> you can also use a fully responsive <picture> tag

Yes and no. I’m in Switzerland, please follow my browser language. Don’t guess whether I speak Swiss, French, Italian, etc I’m in Laos, my OS is in English. Please show me Laotian. However, do make it easy for anyone to change the language.

Why wouldn’t Germans have their “browser languages configured correctly?” German is well supported by software. If Germans want German content, they’ll have their OS set to use German. Filipinos on the other hand would be a better example:

I don’t think you ever used CS before and don’t understand it regardless of the current situation (which will resolve eventually) COVID surely affected all hospitality, but money isn’t relevant to CS anyway.

Google used to let you blacklist websites many moons ago, that would go a long way already. Now there are a few extensions that do that, but obviously they only hide the results from each page, so sometimes you will see pages with 2 results

It depends. Neat short animations can be nice. Even your lightbulb “dimming in” and out would be quite nice. What you’re complaining about is the lightbulb taking 3 seconds to turn off and its toggle costing $100. Now that something nobody

Hey that Makepad looks great. Too bad it doesn’t make my phone keyboard appear. You know… the same thing you get by adding a plain `contentEditable` DOM attribute. Maybe reinventing the whole damn car on canvas isn’t a great idea either. I

You’re talking about ecommerce, not automation. Automation is unrelated to where products are sold. Automation might just mean one fewer cashier at a regular store.

by turnipla 6y ago
How does this make sense? Automation lowers prices, not margins. The prices go down because you don’t have to pay people. If it costs the same, you don’t lower prices just because you’re using automation.

You’re confusing static with serverless. Your content is indeed static but your search is not: It’s handled by a service that parses your requests and produces output. Static content on the other hand are files being served straight from th

All of that doesn’t seem to belong on to CLI flags. I love the possibilities this opens up, but I’d much rather write a configuration file.

I never got into React, but seeing it compared to Svelte I find it hilariously convoluted. Hooks make it even worse.

This is correct. Many tools are split into multiple packages for — hear me out — convenience. I regularly extract features from my apps into new npm packages. This way they can be reused by other apps. Troglodytes can keep copy-pasting code

Good luck vendoring node_modules. Why are these threads filled with people who know nothing about node? npm and yarn both have lockfiles for this purpose. Vendoring only bloats your repos.

This is not a library. Stop thinking of it as a library. It's a building block, a module. > why a library like this is even necessary? Do you know how to determine whether something is a Promise? Wrong. Also the first few StackOverf

I don’t think it’s a language issue. Even for JavaScript bundlers you have the slow extensible bundle and the “new super fast bundler” that dies in a month because it only fits one use case. How flexible is Hugo? And how many plugins does s

Your OS might be able to “reduce white point” everywhere or you can replicate it via color profile.

You’re missing the point of the query. What’s the point of using the query at all? OP suggested it as a way for users to customize their HN color; Then you suggested to take this query and make an extension out of it. If you want to customi

by turnipla 6y ago
That’s called CSS. Use a user style, not javascript. The query is not applicable since its not offered by HN themselves.

Risk of what? You can make dependencies fully sticky with lockfiles. Instead of adding a file to your “libs” folder you add a line to package.json Any code that isn’t in my repo is code I don’t have to maintain. Left pad can’t happen anymor
