Code written below your line gets executed if you don't return early. More breaking news at 8.
Seriously, why would you think that assigning a value would stop your script from executing? Maybe the Typescript example is missing some context, but it seems like such a weird case to present as a "data race".
I really hate that commit message. It is extremely verbose and doesn't allow you to easily understand what was done in the commit in a single sentence or paragraph. It mixes a very narrative explanation in there that is hard to skim. It is in desperate need of a clear TLDR version.
If you really like the descriptive, verbose message, then the most important description should be at the top and it should gradually go into less interesting details as you read down, like in a news article.
> Utilizes addictive, harmful, or deceptive design features, or any other feature that is designed to cause an account holder to have an excessive or compulsive need to use or engage with the social media platform.
Many platforms can argue that they're not engaging in this behavior. Do Mastodon and Lemmy count as addicting? They look like Twitter and Reddit on the surface, but they don't have a sorting algorithm that maximizes for engagement. So would they be included in the definition or not?
And if they don't, what's stopping big companies from claiming the same, since you can't actually see their source code for news feed sorting?
You can also use Foam, a FOSS VSCode extension that is compatible with the basic markdown files from Obsidian. You can just open your vault in it and it will probably work if you're not using the fancy features in Obsidian.
Everyone and their grandmother knows that the video is public domain now. How is it possible that Disney and Youtube don't? How are people so incompetent calling the shots?
> The Norwegian Privacy Council's decision is an instruction to the Irish Data Protection Authority to place a permanent ban on Meta's European head office in Ireland
Isn't this going to be a problem? The Irish DPA has been known to be in bed with big tech in the past, considering Ireland's entire economy is based around being a tax haven for Big Tech, and importing tech workers with the highest EU salaries taxed at 52% for the highest bracket
Can confirm this is a bullshit theory. Eating beef and eggs did not help my depression years ago. In fact, going vegan has had a positive impact on my mental health.
I do believe in the power of technology to make a better world. That's why a venture capitalist using it for profit and then writing a manifesto about how virtuous it is, is the sort of disgusting corruption that makes me skeptic about technology.
But hackernews is the perfect venue to get some minor support from techbros that have grown accustomed to this rat race.
Right, let's just leave it to the free market to make the transition when economically viable. The invisible hand has been working great so far in preventing a global ecosystem catastrophe. /s
I was always skeptical of these fancy new vehicles with shiny electronics. I'm glad I still drive a 15 year old car and a 10 year old motorcycle where the most advanced tech is ABS.
They recently added profiles in VSCode for this very use case. I have a bunch of them configured for different tech stacks (they only differ by extensions)
Relevant to what? There's a huge business in videogames to make DRM constantly stronger and more intrusive. Definitely not as easy to break as the parent comment description for Audible.
My point is: if Mastodon can't get something as basic as an interaction with posts frictionless, I am skeptical that it can solve the more complicated problems, like profile migrations, discoverability, data retention etc.
The browser approach is best effort at rendering, rather than enforcing conventions.
And I doubt that tooling can help with all the complicated ways in which HTML is generated (React, SSR etc). I was actually surprised at how underbaked editor support for CSS is in VSCode (the most widely used frontend editor). If the most modern tooling can't understand that a CSS variable is declared in a different file and autocomplete it for me in a .vue file, I get the impression that tooling is severely lagging behind the frameworks.
The problem I see with sematic web is that no matter how easy it gets, developers refuse to use it properly. I have been looking closely at the <main> tag since a browser extension of mine uses it, and although it is extremely clear what it should do in the MDN documentation (the documentation itself is a good example usage of <main>, <aside> etc.), very little sites use it properly. Even the fancy professional sites wrap all the page content, including navigation, footers and the like inside the <main> tag, which should only be for the main content of the page.
If such a simple element can't be used properly, I have no hope for all the others.
