@mtxconnect Actually, the sun at your ear is 130,000x more intense than a star 100m away.

You can say that pretty much about anything. There goes 3min of my life I never getting back. If it helps anyone, the article uses a lot of words to basically say nothing at all.

@florinpop17 Not everyone, some of us wanna become a billionaire

@mitchellh Then open “Quick Terminal” is my wish 😅

It’d be awesome if we could have shortcuts (or even CLI args) to open “Quick Terminal” in a different position (center, left, right, etc) and maybe screen. I work with multiple monitors and sometimes I just don’t want it center others top

@RobKnight__ Have you tried to add “style={{}}” to the change on the right?

@AndyBxxx I did my part, I watched it twice 🫡

@florinpop17 I just came back from vacations in a different TZ and took 40mg of melatonin. This works for me (I usually take 10mg, I up the doze on TZ changes)

Maybe 40mg is a bit too much, what usually works for most people is anything under 1-3mg.

@manyapan Too cashless that today I was pretty sure ten RMB coins are a thing 🤦

[Eddy Wilson @eddyw_dev]

@AndyBxxx It’s about your car, isn’t it? haha

I have setup a time limit for using YouTube on my phone to 1m per day.

Just enough time to open the 2FA messages when login in other devices.

I didn’t know you can _watch_ anything in that app /s

[Mart @Martposting]

YouTube is now completely unusable without Adblocker

@techsavvytravvy @typescript It’s described in TS 5.2 release

https://t.co/wPEyi8JkbG

[Eddy Wilson @eddyw_dev]

@techsavvytravvy @typescript I remember that they actually mentioned this in the TS blog when “using” was made available in TS.

It’s also in the release notes of esbuild.

TS doesn’t polyfill lang features. E.g if you use decorators metadata, you still need to install “reflect-metadata” package.

[Eddy Wilson @eddyw_dev]

@techsavvytravvy @typescript The symbols need to be poly filled regardless of target because no browser (I think) currently supports it.

[Eddy Wilson @eddyw_dev]

@techsavvytravvy @typescript Yes “esnext” outputs keyword “using” which the JS engine’s parser doesn’t understand. Lowering syntax works but you still need to polyfill “Symbol.dispose”. it’s one liner

Symbol.dispose ??= Symbol.for(“dispose”)

[Eddy Wilson @eddyw_dev]

@techsavvytravvy @typescript tbh not sure if any browser is supporting Symbol.dispose 😅
So you may need to polyfill it.

“Can I use” site probably shows if any browser supports it.

[Eddy Wilson @eddyw_dev]

@techsavvytravvy @typescript “Unexpected identifier” is a parser error. Since the code doesn’t have the red squiggles I assume the error is from the JS engine of your browser. You may want to lower compilation to ES6 and mock Symbol.dispose .. or update browser to latest?

In China absolutely everything has gone cashless but it’s legally forbidden to refuse cash as payment. It’s exactly because of shown in the video, old people deserve to buy their groceries with cash but you also want a functioning store if online services are down.

[internet hall of fame @InternetH0F]

Old man refuses to comply with cashless store policy 🤣
