It’s to embed Javascript into embedded markup in Javascript

I’d suggest to have the occasional look at the “most popular repos” ranking. It’s about 50% Chinese.

Super-interesting sometimes as it shows completely different tech trends.

I’m a backend dev. I needed basically a single js function for my personal website that called out to some NPM package. I thought: I’ll do this the proper modern way, typescript and everything. Result: under 10 lines of code, but 12 config files (and 1.5h of fiddling with ES Modules vs CommonJS).

Snap is still alive? I haven’t heard name in quite a while.

Hands down the tree.

I got into programming via, I kid you not, Second Life.

Wanted to animate some objects with the built-in scripting language. Turned out I was pretty good at it.

Fast forward 15 years and I’m having a decade-long career in software.

For some little config it’s fine, but it’s horrible when used when you have thousands upon thousands of lines of it. Lots of DevOps tools tend to use it like a fully-blown turing-complete programming language, and each has a different DSL of doing variables, loops etc. And that becomes an abomination.

Since this week I get some form of ad in the github diff viewer. “Copilot is available for purchase for you organization”. Horrible.

Oh it hurts how many of these are recognizable.

Yeah it’s a small, local ISP. I love it. They only serve a small area, but therefore they behave like a local business with real people instead of a faceless corporation.

I’m wowed.

I have 1gbps symmetrical for €17.95 in the Netherlands.

I am very conflicted about Arch. I similarly disliked it for actual use, because it’s so unstable. On the other hand, the arch docs are a goldmine.

I think it just depends on what you want to do with your system. Do you like to tinker? Arch (and similar distros) are great. Do you just want things to work mostly out of the box? Use an Ubuntu flavor or an Ubuntu derivative.

France and dystopian copyright laws, name a more typical duo.
