My last experiment was with bulma css and vanilla javascript (typescript) with web components for components that needed custom/complex interactions. Nice thing with this approach is that you can "just" render the web compone

Regarding the error handling case, I've played around with the idea of implementing a Result type with typescript and hiding the errors behind that. The end result looks something like this const res = await getJSON('/t

Oh, thats why the colors change. It actually hurts my eyes when jumping from link to link. So far, the purple is the worst (makes it hard to read).

Oni was/is build completely on top of neovim and oni2 turned vim (not neovim) into a library and builds on top of that. I suppose the vscode plugin support is implemented in similar fashion as coc[1] does it. 1: https://gith

You could try to calculate some numbers on savings or "wasted hours because the corporate support is slow and wont fix our problems fast enough" to turn their heads around. Another pointer could be that the students could be invol

Is that somehow fundamentally different from "git describe --tags --always"?

Thats just one data point, and for which you could argue that javascript has not one, but two null values: null and undefined. PHP got (or is getting?) type hinting, while javascript doesn't have such thing (typescript or flow doesn&#x

Your comparison of today's js/node to PHP from 20 years ago is interesting. I wonder if javascript will be in similar place in 10-20 years that PHP is today (e.g. "its not like it used to be and things a actually quite good n

More and more places are "offering to give a tip" at least in Helsinki when paying by card. The machine asks if you want to give some or not. Its... weird.

Would be worth mentioning that the inline-webassembly npm package is created by the author and quite recently.

I have the opposite: I know Rust, but I hardly know C++ beyond C (granted that I probably could figure out the not-so-easy c++ easier than I would figure out the rust version if I didn't know either). Don't get me wrong, I know wh

Is the react hook code so complicated that when it totals up to 17 lines of code[1], it needs to become a npm package? The code it self looks neat and clean - even more reason to just write your own hook. 1: https://github.com&#x
