Font Awesome has icons in different weights. So, if you want to use a "regular" weight, you add the "far" class for "Font Awesome Regular". They also have a "thin" icon set, and obviously the prefix class for that is "fat". That is all.

On the bright side, at least they're being dismissed when they fail. ICE agents have to know exactly which rights they're violating, after all

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

As a developer, I am only too glad to have operations folks telling me what to do in order to keep the users happy :D At least it's some job security--can't leave Shopify apps alone for 2 seconds

Shopify just auto-migrated my app to some "next-gen developer" thing, so now my apps need emergency reconfig. Of course, this happened right while I was trying to do ANOTHER emergency fix. Like, maybe give me 10 warning emails and let me migrate on my own time instead of randomly dropping this?

Part of my job is now reviewing and correcting AI-generated code, and while it has quite a few issues, the most annoying one is that it apparently just refuses to use SCSS. It can be working on an SCSS module with established nesting, and it decides to add its own unnested class right at the bottom.

My pointless Facebook debates honestly don't usually go straight to the other person straight-up admitting that they're pro-authoritarian and racist.

A screenshot of a Facebook comment addressed to "Andrew Braun". In the post, the commenter asks "What's wrong with authoritarianism specifically?" And goes on to argue that Georgian and Ukrainian lives are being sacrificed in an unwinnable war that will ultimately result in Ukraine losing land. The commenter then criticizes European liberal democracies because they "lock you away for advocating for your ethnic group not being displayed as the majority", and argues that this is a bigger threat to Europe than Russia is.

Maybe he's worried about losing his 100% unquestionably perfect deal-making record :D Mostly a joke, but Trump's ego is not an insignificant part of his decision-making.

Confusingly, elements like radio buttons fire a click event even when they were selected via a keyboard navigation. Figuring out whether a user is navigating a form using arrows keys or mouse is more confusing than I thought it would be!

TIL that JavaScript primitives are passed by value whereas objects and arrays are passed by reference. So a = 1 will always be 1 if you pass it to a function, but a = { value: 1 } can be updated. I don't often have to track state in vanilla JS, so this just somehow never came up before!

I still use a bit of Brave here and there, but it's worth noting that it's run by Brendan Eich, who left Mozilla in 2014 over his homophobic views. And I prefer Firefox as a browser anyway! www.bbc.com/news/technol...

It's strangely comforting when my AI coding assistant just starts spinning in circles trying to figure out TypeScript. Me too, buddy, me too.

Sometimes AI is smart. Other times, it wants to use a switch statement to convert an aspect ratio from 16:9 to 56.25.

Pro(grammer) tip: naming all your variables in complex functions with just one letter is super cool and will make other programmers respect you. Why name something "indexOfSymbol" when you could instead name it "p"? Assigning the value of an input? How about "nm" instead of "inputValue"?

Just started using Cline (cline.bot) last week and it's basically the missing piece of GitHub Copilot! I know Copilot has an agent mode behind the insiders build of VS Code, and I'll definitely give it a shot when it hits the release, but Cline has been super pleasant to use so far.

I've lived mostly outside of the U.S since 2015, and I'm fairly up-to-date on places to go and the logistics of doing it. If anyone has questions about getting out, I'm happy to help!

Yeah, just ran it today! Native Postgres is pretty awesome, but I'd have to have a Bun server running to use it outside of build. The built-in HTTP server makes it tempting--though I do love a good Fastify app. Any features you find yourself reaching for a lot with Bun vs Node?

110

Yeah, that was a big factor for me as well! Native TS support, faster overall, built for modern web tech, an ever-growing list of cool APIs... if I don't run into bugs with it, it'll probably become my go-to! I feel like it was maybe smart to wait until it got a bit past 1.0 though :D

I have not! I'll probably go with Netlify, since they support building with Bun. The edge functions will run on the Netlify Deno runtime, I suppose, so Bun will really just get me fast build times for now, but that's enough for a start!

Just set up the Bun runtime and set up a SvelteKit project with it in less than 10 minutes. Very curious to see how Bun stacks up!

As a Real TypeScript Developer™, I avoid this error with *explicit* any :D

This season of the show is getting a little out of hand. Like, really, "the global resurgence of fascism" again? I was already having trouble following the "big war", "AI revolution", and "intentionally ignored climate disaster" storylines. At least we mostly wrapped up "weirdly political pandemic"

Being kind is usually free. A lot of the time, it's literally just doing nothing instead of doing something that hurts another person.

A meme-format image of Mariann Edgar Budde, a bishop who gave a sermon that U.S president Donald Trump attended. She asked him to show mercy and be kind to minorities. The next panel is a still of the two angel characters from the show "Good Omens". Crowley asks "What was it she said that got everyone so upset?" Aziraphale replies "Be kind to each other". Crowley then comments, "Oh yeah, that'll do it."
