@SergiiShymko This happened the same way that 1/4lb burgers are only 1/4lb before cooking. 2x4 used to mean the size after finish planing. Along the way it started meaning that was the size of the rough cut board blank before final milling. Over time the defacto became what we have now.

Everybody’s making fun of measurement units in the US. But have you tried buying lumber? Say, you need a 1-inch x 4-inch x 8-feet board. Guess what? The board marked 1x4x8 actually measures 0.75x3.5x8 - completely arbitrary size! The label 1x4x8 is meaningless in any units!

@CreativeMarket your store has been unusably slow for several days now. I assume you're aware. Might want to do something about it ASAP.

@McLarenF1: makes a bad strategy call, Lando loses. Also @McLarenF1: makes a bad strategy call in Lando’s favor, then calls team orders so that he loses…. Work.. it.. out..

@st4nsm Trick Question. WiFi on Linux is a myth 🙃

Question of the day: “dad, how to configure WiFi in Arch Linux” 🫠

Signed into an AWS console for the first time in over a year. What a nostalgic trip that was - at least for the first 5 minutes.

@Quentalto @ShipperHQ @UPS 👏

@st4nsm @blanklob About time lol. Now you can really build some stuff.

@blanklob That’s super cool! This year becomes more and more busy 🤪

This is one of the biggest Shopify technical updates this year. Functions can now fetch data. Already played with new pickup points generator 🙌

@deitel In high-school I taught myself to program with the fourth edition of this book (stole it from my brother who was in university) and with @mark_overmars GameMaker. Changed my life. Appreciate so much that these resources existed for me.

You don’t see one of these every day! This is a 1993 pre-publication spiral-bound copy of C++ How to Program first edition, which was our second book in that series.

@DenishaRot78408 Tried installing it yesterday and the extension did nothing… like the commands weren’t even in the menu. Others have reported the same. I’ll try again today though, it looks cool if I can get it to work.

Anyone know a #VSCODE refactoring tool for extracting a chunk of #REACT #JSX into it's own FC? <div> {leave me alone} <div id="extractme"> {I'm with them ^} </div> </div> Internet is suggesting glean but that project's been broke and dead for a while now.

@Quentalto @ShipperHQ

@TravBern I think @ShipperHQ ‘s dimensional shipping does that.

I think these years of layoffs, job automation, and the tightening of investment should be referred to as "The Techoning"

Today I realized I could deref the first element of a nested array as `const { rows: [record] } = object`. And I kind of love and hate it at the same time. Help me decide... A, B or C??

Just wrote this little nugget of future tech debt that I'm not proud of. Then again it was a 1 line fix to a minor problem...

@egorFiNE Every DBMS has to have a couple things wrong I suppose 😂

@TravBern agree. Except users and roles. This part of Postgres is braindamaged to no end. Oh and /usr/bin/psql fighting you on every step. Of course I have to type in the table name in two sets of quotes like ' "Users" '. A perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Been a pretty hard core follower of MySQL my whole career. Lately done a bit of mongo. Recently, just to learn, cracked open Postgres on a personal project and woah… shoulda looked into it sooner

@fuksito Yeah I’m just starting out. Learning that you can query and aggregate on unstructured json (nosql) and also how to do graph queries with CTEs. Obviously it’s not specialized at those things but very cool to have the option all in the same toolkit.

@TravBern Postres is wonderful, I miss many features in mysql

Follow up. I'm currently solving my problem this way... doesn't seem ideal. forwardRef((ref: ForwardedRef<HTMLElement>) => { const divRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null); useImperativeHandle(ref, () => divRef.current as HTMLElement); return <div ref={divRef} /> }

IMO forwardRef should be able to use the lower-specificity type. It's saying, hey, I just need the element to match at least this API. So why is the DIV complaining that .align isn't supported, I'm specifically saying I don't care about align. This makes ref types viral...

Is #TypeScript broken on #React ForwardRef? I'm using this: export const JobCard = forwardRef((ref: ForwardedRef<HTMLElement>) => { return <div ref={ref} /> } And I'm getting errors around mismatch between HTMLDivElement and HTMLElement. 🧵1/2
