I'm sorry, but I really don't hope this catches on. Fair that you don't want to share your data, and yeah, a Flashlight app should not need access to list of contacts, but please don't mess it up the data for us developers.

Example: We use information about the devices that access our web site (screen resolution, browser versions) to figure out how best spend our limited resources. This data is important to us.

If you are only indenting the start of your lines (and not inside the lines), a proportional font is actually completely unproblematic.

I am still looking for a proportional font where I can clearly distinguish to single quotes from a double quote, and distinguish a single quote followed by a double quote from the double followed by a single. Do you have some suggestions?

> Every bank check lists the bank account number, which serves as the only information needed for a party to issue a request to withdraw money from that account.

Just here point out that the issue is that it's enough to have the bank account number to issue a request to withdraw money from that account, and not that the bank accounts numbers are listed.

One downside to having a version 4.10 is that some sorting algorithms put this release between 4.1 and 4.2 and not after 4.9.

But yeah, they should just go ahead and follow semver from now on.

Python went from 3.9 to 3.10 some time ago. And many people with YAML-based pipelines found out that 3.10 is turned into decimal 3.1, and ended up trying to build with an ancient version, because quoting was optional (and because YAML is a terrible language).

Same with Go 1.20

What’s the benefit of the custom download-package script over npm install? Why would you want to roll a custom solution here?

Didn't get the idea as well. The end part of the post is like a seed for a future custom package manager or something

NPM will automatically install dependencies and run post-install scripts. Those are normally a convenience, but I can understand why someone would want to skip that.

Still. I'm all for avoiding npm when I can get away with it, but for TFA's case I would have just used the `--ignore-scripts` flag.

As the project becomes more than a simple example and requires more third-party libraries, this is just unmaintainable.

I think is goes a long way to always use lang names for ID properties. So always call it userId, companyId etc. instead of simply id everywhere.

The article argues that blue text is obviously a clickable link, but that swiping from the left to navigate back isn’t. While I do think it makes a difference that the link is visually different, I also think that what is affordable or discoverable is ultimately a subjective thing. You could argue that for anyone born in this millennia, swiping down to refresh is just as intuitive that blue text being clickable.

I think something that can improve the remote work experience could be worth a lot. It’s still to early to judge.

Is this something you can turn on be default for Git when working with others that don’t use Difftastic, or could that lead to some weird behaviors?

(I don’t know enough about the internals of Git to answer this myself.)

IIRC the configurable diff tool is just to show diffs to the user, not for internal storage. So everyone on your project can use a different diff tool without problems.

An analogy would be like of the editor. Think of this tool as the editor that one uses. It does not matter to git what editor one uses; similarly, it does not matter what diff pager one uses :)

Yes, you can turn it on without having any side-effects for others.

You can use difftastic as your default git diff tool, but you can also use it as an opt-in diffing tool. I recommend using it as an opt-in, but defining a git alias so you can do 'git difft'.

https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/git.html has docs.

You can turn it on safely. Git does not store diffs (like a diff chain), but a snapshot of the files at each commit
