Many areas for sure, although there is the Lake District, the coasts of Cornwall, and so on which are fairly untransformed, so to speak. Looking at Great Britain overall, the Scottish Highlands of course come to mind,…
Many of the newer standards added to the web platform boil down to supporting development of web apps, not only web pages. For example, the current iteration of the File System API in Chrome…
Shoelace is excellent, in my experience! Well document, accessible, and a large selection of components. To solve the issue you mention, you can cherry-pick the imports [1], which imports only the specific component you…
It's not a living space but a data center, that is why there are no windows.
It's mostly a tool to manage research literature. It allows you to add works you are viewing in your web browser to collections. Then, you can create bibliographies from these collections. As a researcher I use it a…
Lit is very close to vanilla Web Components, but makes the standard more convenient to work with. Especially when used with TypeScript and a nice plugin such as lit-plugin [1], you get syntax highlighted and checked CSS…
Looks great! Still eagerly waiting for Windows support: I have a specific use case where I need both a bundler and a package manager to run on the user's desktop cross-platform, and right now that's yarn + esbuild. I'd…
Fair enough about your existing cables, but cables would be thrown away if we enforced Lightning, as well (probably a lot more, but I have no numbers on that). I don't really get the arguments of durability and ease of…
But is it just a question of education, or also a question of usability? A nice, random sequence of alphanumerical characters that can not be connected to the user at all is, unsurprisingly, hard to remember for the…
There's some research about this. [1] It seems tutoring is very effective as a teaching method, but of course, not very scalable. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom%27s_2_sigma_problem
Great site! The visualization style is very nice to get a feel for the distribution of the market, so to say. I noticed you can even switch axes, for example changing the y axis from screen size to storage.
You can switch that site to tablets, here's a direct link: https://www.productchart.com/tablets/ At a glance, you can filter by both screen size and weight, so that should work for your purpose.
I think the top commenter means the animation of the placeholder elements on your demo page (https://iamlocaljo.com/graphy-react-challenge/). It's a pretty minor glitch.
I agree up to a point: There were peoples with their distinct cultures that the Ottomans conquered, the most prominent example being the Balkans. However, "nation" is an 18th/19th century idea. The notion that distinct…
Agreed on the point about maintainance! As to your other points: * There actually is a "scheduled send" send feature, but it is a bit hidden: The "Send" button has a little dropdown arrow, there you can select…
Well, speaking strictly logically: If they were both astronomers and astrologers, and their astronomy was sound, it does not mean that their astrology was, too. Many great scientists of the past were religious, and yet…
While school can and should be improved in many countries, I think it's not really fair to make it out as the root of all evil. That assumes school is an all powerful tool to mold children's minds, when there are so…
I switched from Webpack to Parcel (https://parceljs.org/), it requires far less configuration (only command line parameters for me) and runs faster. It's "batteries included", and I find it's enough for most of my…
I like the way this is written. Very clear and to the point, with a tone of "Hey, check out this cool thing".
That's a fair point about the NATO! Didn't mean to marginalize it, but there's only so many words to a sufferable HN comment. It's true that today's EU was only established in 1992/93, but it is the result of a very…
I agree that the EU cannot guarantee peace, of course. However, it really pushed European integration forward. It's a bit mundane, but all the cultural exchange through trade, travelling, student exchange programs and…
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! The EU provides considerable benefits for Europe, arguably the most important, but also the most invisible, being peace. World War II ended only 74 years ago. To be a little…
I think the point of civil wars being damaging is spot on, but the example of the Thirty Years War as a civil war is quite flawed: The Holy Roman Empire had always been a small aggregation of city states, as you call…
A minor point: To be fair, minified JS is not exactly a hard barrier. Conventional minification is just removing extraneous whitespace, newlines, comments, etc.. Except for the lost comments (which are definitely a pity…
What do you mean by dynamic here, exactly? From what I understand, in Scala, types are statically inferred (at compile time, not at runtime). I'd call this a very nice feature to reduce boilerplate.
