Sheepsteak··on Deno 1.33: Deno 2 is coming
You can import npm packages now. They added it a few release ago.

Sheepsteak··on Web Push for Web Apps on iOS and iPadOS
I think they've added this too. At the bottom it says they're adding the ScreenOrientation API and it seems to be able to do this.

Sheepsteak··on WebGL 2.0 Achieves Pervasive Support from All Major Web Browsers

Sheepsteak··on Esbuild – An extremely fast JavaScript bundler
This is exactly what I found when I tried esbuild a few months ago. I gave up and went with Parcel 2 at the time as I found it easier to get going (although there were teething problems with Parcel being beta at the time).

I need to give esbuild another go I think.

Sheepsteak··on Show HN: WrittenRealms – a modern platform for text-based games
Still getting this now btw.
Sheepsteak··on Ask HN: Node.js API Documentation
I think the official swagger-node (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-node) hasn't been updated for a while. There is swagger-jsdoc (https://www.npmjs.com/package/swagger-jsdoc) though.
Sheepsteak··on Nim versions 1.4.4 and 1.2.10
Oh right, I was using "rls" as part of the MS VSCode plugin and gave up using Rust in the end as it was so bad to me. I might check this one out.
Sheepsteak··on Node.js 15.0
I've been trying the npm workspaces support in the last few beta and release candidate releases and it just wasn't stable enough for me.

Sheepsteak··on Autograph hunting in Companies House
The original Apple Computer (UK) company formation documents are here too with Steve Jobs' signature from 1981.

Sheepsteak··on Apple’s iMac Pro is a love letter to developers
I remember hearing the lack of a 32GB option was due to the chipset or something.
Sheepsteak··on Show HN: Cheaper flights when flying multiple destinations by route optimisation
Really good idea!

But maybe think about replacing the 4MB background video with a static image or something. It felt a bit overpowering for me (moves too fast) and it also doesn't scale right with the viewport leaving white text on a white background.

Sheepsteak··on GitLab 8.10 Released with Wildcard Branch Protection and Manual Actions for CI
Inline Videos now supported!

I've been wanting this on GitHub for so long. The example in the docs seems broken to me though - http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/markdown/markdown.html#videos

Sheepsteak··on React Native: A year in review
Facebook released this just before React Native:

Sheepsteak··on Uninstalling Facebook app saves up to 15% of iPhone battery life
I've been doing exactly this too over the last few months. Safari iOS is so fast now on the iPhone 6s that I find the mobile sites faster than the apps in most cases.
Sheepsteak··on What's New in Webpack 2
Yeah, it's in there.

Sheepsteak··on Preact, a fast 3k React alternative
Last time I checked you couldn't use contexts yet.
Sheepsteak··on Apple Safari users suffer crashes
Works fine for me too and I'm using DuckDuckGo on both iOS and Mac.
Sheepsteak··on More Responsive Tapping on iOS
Probably in iOS 10 next September I would have thought.
Sheepsteak··on The Rise of the Outrageously Long Commute
"…taking the 10-hour redeye on Sunday nights and returning on Thursdays. This way, he says, he doesn’t have to uproot his family of 10 kids."

No wonder he spends most of the week away!
