> What about if a person can't support their child at that time in their life and they don't have a support system to help them?

I think a pro-lifer would say that intentionally terminating a human being would still be wrong. I have a very hard time disagreeing with them on that.

> What if the birth will kill the mother? To my knowledge the vast majority of abortions are not because of this and all pro-lifers I know would be in favor of saving the mother. Most are for "convenience" and that is what pro-lifers are against. Again, I have a hard time disagreeing with them on this topic as well.

Interesting interpretation of the comments.

> the library ecosystem is a nightmare I agree.

> Just keeping a project from falling apart takes a huge amount of effort I think the culture of importing libraries with lots of dependencies is a big contributor.

> Libraries are either abandoned when the author moves on This applies to any OSS project. Generally speaking popular abandoned libraries get forked.

> or they push major releases almost every month This sounds like a very bad library to use. I would not recommend having this type of library as a dependency in Node or even in Python for that matter.

> Python libraries are much more stable and reliable. Not sure what would make python libraries magically more stable and more reliable. Maybe libraries with minimal dependencies would could be the reason. That is why I recommend 0 or minimal dependecy libraries for node.

> That is the point of a formatter, so any formatter would do that (and there were many more active projects to allow formatting before prettier came around).

No arguments here. You are free to choose the formatter you want.

> Not really, and I have written prettier plugins to get around that constraint.

Or you could simply use those better formatters you were talking about.

Using it as a precommit hook in OSS projects makes it so that people can write code however they want. But it ends up in the repo following the guidelines of the repo. Minimizing unnecessary back-and-forth with PRs. Extremely useful in my opinion.

Even though prettier has defaults, but they can be modified to quite some extent to suit your projects needs: https://prettier.io/docs/options

That’s insane! Dystopian!

No you don't. You can get a prepaid SIM card.

Wow! I didn't know it can run on Win11!

I have it running on my retro VM, which is a windows 98.

I've was trying to learn some C++ a month back. I've stuck with C++98 so that those skills would be somewhat transferable to VC6. But I always run issues with the syntax being a bit different. It'll compile on my g++ with c++98 settings, but not on my VC6 on my Win98. I'll get back to it at some point.

Currently I'm writing a SPA app that runs on my Win98 in IE5.5. It's been so much fun.

Yes

I loved David Bushell's writing. Very entertaining as always.

I do agree many of Deno's products are in decline.

But I think deno is by far the superior typescript/javascript runtime. And deno can be run on many reputable edge providers. So deno deploy is not necessary. It's too bad because I did like the simplicity of deno deploy, but other edge provides seem to be good too.

Some of it does indeed need tweaking to get it work. But I find many amazing pieces of software written for Deno. And I find deno's tooling and security way more mature than node or bun.

As long as the tooling stays good and the runtime is updated. I'm staying.

I will be willing to switch to bun if the tooling/security gets good. I should revisit bun to see if it is now good. To my knowledge bun does not have granular permission levels like Deno. I don't understand why the runtime should have access to everything by default. I much prefer deno's way of doing things.

Creating a modern development environment for win98. Currently I’m working on a git client. I have no patience for learning C. So backporting git is not an option. I also don’t want to use cygwin. So I’m using a server to expose git as http endpoints and coding a git client in php to use in msdos. I have Vim 7.3 and and gnu coreutils working in msdos already. So soon I will have a very nice dev environment. I want to create a one click installer which gives you xampp, vim and then all the tooling I’ve created. I’m also interested in creating SPA that works in IE5.5. But I’ll do that when my tooling is ready.

This is amazing news. I loved this game as a kid. I still have my original gba and the game itself.

Not to be pedantic. But being able to be 100s of calories off per meal is not 80-90% there.

I'd be surprised if it came close to the accurate amount of calories even 50% of the time. If by there you are talking about accuracy.

How would it know how many calories my curry has from a photo? It cannot. It could be full of oil or have none.

How can it know how big the bowl of food is? It cannot.

It cannot know the actual fiber content of any baked good just by looking at it.

The promotional photo gives 7/10 nutritional score of pancakes with syrup? Why? because it has a couple of blueberries sprinkled on top? I'm sorry, but this does not seem like a useful app.

The promotional text on their site says: "It is consistently 90% accurate when predicting nutritional value of food" They might as well say 100%. They get to cherry pick the food they photo. It would be impossible to be 90% accurate if they actually included similar looking foods with different fat contents. Mash potatoes made with butter, without butter. Mash potatoes in a big bowl vs small bowl.

The site just reeks scam.

Anything peer reviewed or merely conjecture?

A minimap for vim - Works on 7.3 - Uses only vimscript - Doesn't require compiled with lua/python - Works on DOS ( and Win9X) - Doesn't use braille characters. So that it can work on older machines.

Why? Because I thought it would be a fun challenge. I have a win 98 machine. I have Vim 7.3 installed. It has not been compiled with lua/python. I want a minimap.

It's been fun to find clever compromises to make it work. I've almost completed the project. (at least it works on my modern computer, I'm sure when I transfer it to my Win98 I'll find I'm using some modern vimscript functions and then I have to invent fun workarounds again).

If you want a good dev experience on a Win98, I highly recommend Vim or if you don't vim, then notepad++. Vim is better though.

I made a userscript to make the table sortable. Just click the table header to sort.
