Why bother with jQuery? I don't see the value add anymore.

Another thing I painfully realized: It that is not a good idea to document HTML in HTML.

<details> <summary> It's not a good idea </summary> really. &lt/details>

It's the snappiest browser at the moment and I love its render as text function and automatic ad blocking on mobile. I've made a permanent switch on mobile, but I tend to miss the Chrome dev tools whenever I use it on a computer.

It's also wonderful that the browser is truly privacy conscious.

There is a lot of land in the world. And definitely have the capacity to build the supply chains. It's just that it's slow and expensive while oil, gas and nuclear is fast and cheap.

We need policy changes. Or in a very ideal world, fusion.

And to elaborate on the other side of the argument: JSX creates plain JavaScript objects instead of exposing an "almost-JS" templating language. Additionally you get an enormous amount of flexibility. For some types of apps that is very important.

It's an unstable feature, but you can use import maps with Deno.

I agree. But I do like query builders (Knex for Node). I still write and think in SQL, but don't have to write queries as strings.

For 7% a P/E of 14.285714285 or less would be good to be very precise.

There should be a Promise.isThenable or Promise.is. Strictly speaking this library checks if a value is a thenable.

With optional chaining I would however use this check:

    typeof x?.then === 'function'
Or if I was code golfin:

    x?.then?.call
The first case does not account for built in prototype extensions and the second has false positives with certain data structures.

So the function in is-promise should be available as Promise.isThenable or Promise.is.

Scrolling on iOS browsers is an utter pain due to rubber band scrolling. It can be solved with -webkit-overflow-scrolling and hard work.

This was really interesting! Would be interesting to see how this interacts with hemochromatosis.

Agree. It's really missing the point of how this has been used in reality for the sake of promoting semantics in an area where semantics rarely matter.

"Singular marketplace" – there's your problem.

With Android, at least you can download an APK.
