Re:Ditching TypeScript for JavaScript on Saturday May 06, 2023 @07:20PM (#35846269)
I do wish we were in the timeline where we got a super powered jsdoc, instead of TS.

Something like that would be my guess for what’s next, once this current trend has run its course.

But then, how do you test components on mobile? Or are we not supposed to ask that?
Simply turning it off is going to leave a lot of non-technical people who had this setup for them very frustrated.

Upgrading existing customers was probably part of their reason for doing the work.

Very neat, and seconding impression of reminding of observable, but much more freeform. Here's a dumb little demo of appending some divs to a dom element, with random heights.

It's quite fun to think about the restrictions of this - getting an animation loop going, for example.

Manjaro ARM is great. I use it daily with sway.

I haven’t tried docker, but given the widevine hack used it, presume all is ok on that front.

Re:What if I mixed all JavaScript proposals in one file on Sunday November 22, 2020 @09:43AM (#25177796)
As a glimpse of the future, it’s not particularly encouraging.

For me, JS needs only a handful of things doubling down on its existing nature. Literals for symbols, sets and maps would be a great start.

If we’re getting fancy, persistent / immutable data structures would be fantastic, especially given how modern js is written.

A better standard library would be the cherry on top.

If there’s nothing else clickable around the graphical element then making a larger but invisible touch target around it would be an approach to consider. No visual changes, easy to do with css etc.

Is this a worldwide trend? Wonder what it means for city tax incomes.

Must be amongst the largest public facing products that's all clojure/script..?
I took a very quick look at the source code, and seems you’re using the curl default options for things like the user agent. Please correct me if wrong!

Did you try pretending to be a search engine crawler, for an idea..?

From recent experience using the Pinebook Pro and manjaro, the answer is a resounding yes.

From the start, it was clear that a decent arm chip in a laptop is very usable. Paired with an SSD, and more ram, it would be killer.

MacOS would need some care to make it less heavy in terms of background consumption, but I don’t see that as being beyond Apple’s reach. Windows is a different matter, not sure what MS can bring to the table there.. The work being done right now in porting iOS applications to work on macOS clearly points to a strategy being developed.

Think it’s going to be an interesting couple of years.

In 2010, browsers supporting rounded corners were considered exotic. It’s totally, totally different now.

Placeholders maybe? https://sass-lang.com/documentation/style-rules/placeholder-...

I use these a bit when I’m being more thoughtful, it’s a nice way to think about creating chunks of style that don’t get included in the output, bit surprised they weren’t mentioned yet.

Re:Audio Processing for Dummies on Sunday November 10, 2019 @05:48AM (#21497453)
Multi band compressors also help in this domain, choosing which frequency band to attenuate or boost. For multi channel audio, phase becomes important too. Not for nothing is a typical trick in mastering to restrict low frequencies to mono..

Was thinking in context of gated voices, background noise etc. Think it’s actually push to talk, so I’m not right on reflection.

deps support in cursive is excellent, just as an aside. Feels very slick to get a project going.
