Strange TypeScript bug(?)
With the following tsconfig.json, TS copies package.json to dist/
{
"include": ["src/**/*", "test/**/*"],
"compilerOptions": {
"rootDir": ".",
"outDir": "dist",
"resolveJsonModule": true,
}
}

That’s indeed a shame! Odd that .message isn’t enumerable.

Visual Studio Code has more values for the following setting. I like:
"editor.renderWhitespace": "boundary"
“Render whitespace characters except for single spaces between words.”

When David Tennant talks about “June”, he means “Dune”.

I’m wondering why many software products write a “v” before version numbers (Node.js v23.1.0 etc.). What’s the benefit? If I remember correctly, it didn’t use to be that way. What changed?
V8 v8 was a funny anecdote: https://v8.dev/blog/v8-release-80

True! Firefox has given me some grief in that area.

The following paragraph is interesting. Maybe they’ll offer some functionality that’s similar to Socket’s?
“On top of our open-source projects, we will offer an end-to-end JavaScript tooling solution specifically designed to meet the scale and security requirements of enterprise environments.”

The integrated trackpad makes a huge difference for me.

Are you asking me why computer people would invent words? 😀
I had never come across that word before and “holey” sounds like a great pun.

The “option” key of my desktop magic keyboard occasionally doesn’t register. It’s old, so I’m not surprised.
But the glitching started after I installed a macOS update. So I’m not yet completely sure that it isn’t a software issue.

I also thought industry = “produces something tangible”. But, I have also known the word “entertainment industry” for a long time.

The new iPhones are “celebrating color in an unparalleled way”.
But they do so very quietly, hidden inside phone cases. 😀

I’m genuinely curious:
Personally I find online “rewards” (badges etc.) very annoying, even condescending. Examples: Redddit and Duolingo. Using these services should be (and is) intrinsically fun. IMO, there is no need to add anything.
But people must also like them or they would be removed as a feature(?) If you do like them, I’d love to know why: Do they make the services more fun for you?

How do you consume #Mastodon?

I used (a)import in the middle of a CSS file (not at the top). Worked in Chrome but not in Safari.
MDN says: “An (a)import rule must be defined at the top of the stylesheet, before any other at-rule (except (a)charset and (a)layer) and style declarations, or it will be ignored.”

If you need a *simple* task runner (think a few aliases for shell commands): What do you use?
I’m switching between the following two but was wondering what else is out there:
1. make (Makefile)
2. npm run (package.json)
Benefit of #2 is support for cross-platform commands (e.g. via shx) and locally installed packages.

#TypeScript: I was perplexed why JavaScript would let me use for-of to iterate over the result of .querySelectorAll(), but TypeScript told me I could not do that.
Thankfully, that’s easy to fix: Simply add "DOM.Iterable" to "lib"—e.g.:
"lib": [
"es2022", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"
],
