@octorom @adamdotdev Elaborate the question:
Never could without any guidance? Never would without being asked for it? Wouldn't build it because it's not “useful” for achieving a non-“just-fun” task?

@GrantSlatton @joodalooped Bring back up and down paging instead of scrolling!

@Ramborambowski @JohnHaugeland @justinfagnani I believe the discussion is around void elements, like img and link, not tags like div.

[Brook Jordan @BrookJordan]

@JohnHaugeland @justinfagnani What's wrong with those three items in MDN? It looks correct.

MDN has plenty of stuff out of date, but not those.

@chaaoui_ayoub @mSykeCodes @zeeg Where is that a thing?

It's not in plain TypeScript. Maybe you're using a library that adds some declarations?

@sebastienlorber @chrisfranciscoa @remi_rousselet And I want my Philips screwdriver to unscrew flathead screws. Relying on standard Philips is perfectly fine, and what I want.

Until you encounter such a quirk due to using a flathead screw. If I saw out an extra line in the screw, the tool works.

@HackingBaseball @csanyi_andras That would make sense that Java runs on JavaScript.

@DeusMozzarella @MeowdelynLived @fuckyouiquit Quite right, it focuses on the parts that normally skip the lime light. But either way it still feels like a rather different story from Gates... not a nicer, cutesier story, but very different. Revolving around making money unethically, not using money that fell in his lap.

@GarrettPetersen Batman... for the most part.
While you could argue some of the baddies have a point, they blow it waaaaaay out of proportion.

@0xgaut The very hungry caterpillar.

@PaulieScanlon @peter__dx @stordahldotdev I'd argue gte is as clear to a lamen as count(*), and easier to intuit. Plus that's not an issue with JavaScript abstractions, it could be named GreaterThanOrEqualTo.

Q: these two queries don't do quite the same thing. Is that because the JavaScript library is limited?

@lukesprosser @flaviocopes Plus committing only specific lines of code.

@samcook_ @jarredsumner @ThePrimeagen I see. So we're writing packages solely for bun consumers? Then I guess that's no problem.

So a more real issue would be things like linters and babel kinda stuff that put config in the package.json?

[Brook Jordan @BrookJordan]

@samcook_ @jarredsumner @ThePrimeagen Wait, how does npm install everything without reading the nested package.json files?
