Just spotted that Daisy UI recommends Cally (among others) for its date picker component 😁 daisyui.com/components/c...

Damn that's slick. Instafollow

I used to use parallels. Generally it worked extremely well. Only complaint is they'd sometimes show popups to try and upsell you on their other tools. Which is despicable in software you've paid for! And their "don't show again" option never seemed to work. Otherwise it was very good

Hey now, I feel you're doing him a great disservice to not mention the various cryptocurrency related schemes, scams, bribery he's embroiled in bsky.app/profile/moll...

Good news! The bar to entry has been dramatically lowered

Ah yeah good point. Still, it's a shame literally every person implementing keyboard shortcuts needs to write the exact same code to deal with this. `isPlatformMetaKey` would be a nice addition to the event

Unfortunately I think you need to do UA sniffing πŸ˜•

Nice. Spoilt for choice between this and shinobi coming out later this month

Is it a metroidvania like blasphemous (sort of), or level based actions platformer?

You mean for updating code rather than runtime? AST grep is one of my favourite recently discovered tools for this. Formatting-insensitive search and replace over the AST is so nice, and can be a huge improvement over regex

Awesome pairing. Congrats!

There was a by-election in my area recently (council rather than parliamentary). Labour pretty much campaigned on "vote for us or reform get in". Neither reform or labour won lol

Thanks! I tend to have that at hand for stir fries. Might give this a go

I find bsky better for web dev stuff tbh. Twitter is mostly blue check engagement bait, shit posting, and AI influencer wannabes. Kinda tiring

In my experience there's very little good discussion happening anymore. The death of blogging and its consequences

Did you step on a glass that had been left on the floor, or was there dropped a glass and you stood on it? Someone I know stood on a pint glass with bare foot and it's been a fear of mine ever since

Yeah it's an absurd claim. The people who accuse platform advocates of zealotry are often zealots themselves

That's pretty much always my reaction when a hand releases an enhanced version of an album - I don't want some extra songs at the end πŸ˜…

Surprisingly good album in case you've never listened to it

Haha yeah that would certainly simplify things. While we're at it, get rid of timezones too.

It seems cursed, but not sure there's another way. 365 isn't divisible by 7 so either you have weird week numbering, or you have a week that lasts 1-2 days depending if leap year or not. Pick your poison πŸ˜…

lit-html is a nice middle ground if you want declarative rendering with no build step or complex machinery. Not the WC stuff (though that's good too), just the tagged template literal
