instead of using classes you just use whatever your ui library provides for reuse. stick a classname string in a variable and you have a class. use a component and it just contains all its styles.
unless you mean that if you look in the inspector you see a mess of classnames. I don’t have a solution there
shadcn is the primary one for react at least. they’ve done a great job filling the space where you’re trying to build up a design system but don’t want to start from scratch, but they’re great if you just want prebuilt components too
all the components build on something else like radix, and are pretty simple themselves. normally just the radix component with styles. Installing a component just copypastes the source into your project at configured locations.
if you’ve ever fought against something like mui to get it to fit design changes or change specific behavior, shadcn is great. at some point the extension points of a library aren’t enough, but if you own all the code that’ll never be a problem.
except we generally use higher level abstractions now, like component based frameworks. If you’re writing raw html with tailwind and no library you’re doing it wrong and css is a better fit.
well written straight css ends up building it’s own tree of components. if you’re using react too you’re either only selecting a single component (inline styles but have to open two files) or writing good css (duplicating the component hierarchy in css).
tailwind is just the former but better since it encourages using a projectwide set of specific sizes/colors/breakpoints and small scope, the two actual problems with inline styles after organization and resuse, which react etc solves.
I’m sure all of them are just cherrypicked hotfixes from main tho
repr is generally assumed to be side effect free and cheap to run, so things like debuggers tend to show repr of things in scope, including possibly exit
also then it behaves differently between repl and script, since repr never gets run. to do it properly it has to be a new repl keyword I imagine, but I still don’t know if I’m sold on the idea
yeah fair enough. that wasn’t really my point and I wasn’t paying attention
yeah it’s incorrect bc it destroys multibyte characters, but no idea what you’re saying about u8 being a different type from unicode. the original code was reading bytes and converting them too? the typing isn’t the issue, you can still store utf8 as a series of bytes
I mean, I’m not a big fan of bash, the most likely default shell, so my advice would be to explore some alternate shells.
I am a little surprised completions aren’t working in bash by default, but yeah idk if it’s possible to get the cycling through suggestions. double tap tab and it should at least list the options though.
I’d recommend you hop between some shells and see what you like. most distros tend to keep the default shell pretty vanilla, the most change you’ll get is maybe zsh with some nicer defauls.
nushell is great and would be my first recommendation. everything is structured like powershell, but way less verbose and more emphasis on integrating the existing cli ecosystem than pwsh’s commandlets for everything.
fish or oh-my-zsh are things other people recommend. you don’t get structured data but they do give a better completion experience and other nice things
I want to like xonsh, and used it for a few years, but it has the same problems pwsh has with separate ecosystems of structured commands and unstructured text. if you’re a python person though I’d consider it too though.
python isn’t the only language to do “execute everything imported from a particular file and all top level statements get run”. both node and c# (but with restrictions on where top level statements can be) can do that type of thing, I’m sure there’s more.
python conventions are unique because they attempt to make their entrypoint also importable itself without side effects. almost no one needs to do that, and I imagine the convention leaked out from the few people that did since it doesn’t hurt either.
for instance in node this is the equivalent, even though I’ve never seen someone try before:
if (path.resolve(url.fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)).includes(path.resolve(process.argv[1])))
{
// main things
}
there are other shells that have all the nice powershell things without the weird stuff (at least for not windows people), like nushell
although I wouldn’t be surprised if powershell was the thing that started the trend of better shells
ones that can run cli tools do great, they just use npm
because with things that the compiler does, like padding for alignment, it frequently takes up more space than that. that was my argument the whole time. what til are you talking about? I’m talking about an extra layer you’ve decided doesn’t count. ofc sizeof bool will be a byte in all of those languages.
a bool taking up a single byte is a fantasy that those languages use because developers generally don’t need to think about all the other stuff going on.
for some people it’s nice to start from nothing and build up config, I’d recommend doom for anyone else. it’s nice to be given a file with all the settings you can change instead of having to do it all yourself.
a bool is actually a single bit, the rest is all padding
c++ guarantees that calls to malloc are aligned https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/c/malloc .
you can call malloc(1) ofc, but calling malloc_usable_size(malloc(1)) is giving me 24, so it at least allocated 24 bytes for my 1, plus any tracking overhead
yeah, as I said, in a stack frame. not surprised a compiler packed them into single bytes in the same frame (but I wouldn’t be that surprised the other way either), but the system v abi guarantees at least 4 byte alignment of a stack frame on entering a fn, so if you stored a single bool it’ll get 3+ extra bytes added on the next fn call.
computers align things. you normally don’t have to think about it. Consider this a TIL moment.
sure, but if you have a single bool in a stack frame it’s probably going to be more than a byte. on the heap definitely more than a byte
things that store it as word size for alignment purposes (most common afaik), things that pack multiple books into one byte (normally only things like bool sequences/structs), etc
yeah, if you bind ctrl c and ctrl v to copy and paste keys, you can get the same behavior in terminals and other apps that have weird default bindings for ctrl c and v for historical reasons
it is nice to be able to plug your keyboard into a new computer and have all your shortcuts and layout set up though. I do that so I have the same layout and shortcuts on my personal and work computers regardless of os
I’m saying we weren’t taught when react was the way people wrote sites. if I was writing a site with pure html, css is great, especially modern css.
but if I’m already using react and their abstractions, opinions on that part aside, I’d personally rather lean on the react component as the unit of reuse. tailwind removes the abstraction that you don’t need, since many people in react tend towards one scoped css file per component with classes for each element anyway
at this point I’d be more inclined to say for many sites the api and data fetching things are the content and html+css is presentation. csszengarden is cool but I haven’t seen the html/css split help an end user, or really even me as a developer.
