munbun··on Turbopack, the successor to Webpack
`node-sass` was the fastest solution (node bindings to a C++ library) was deprecated a few years back.

`sass` (dart-sass) is the current iteration but it’s an order of magnitude slower for larger projects with many small scss module files. I’ve seen it add +10 to 30 seconds.

`sass-embedded` will be the next iteration for dart-sass but in its current form still suffers from similar issues.

I believe using postcss for nesting support + css variables is a better alternative, considering that css will likely get native nesting support in a few years.

munbun··on JSX Mail: Ending All Your Problems When Creating Email Templates
Early versions of MJML used JSX class components.
munbun··on The PS5 Has Been Jailbroken
PS5 had a bug where its Wifi speeds can become 80% slower if the rear USB ports are being used.

Switching to Ethernet bypasses this issue but I’m unaware if this was ever fixed.

munbun··on Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B
If it gets slower or clunkier, it will die.

High chance Adobe increases pricing & wastes a year of engineering resources on integrating Figma with their Adobe Cloud over building useful features.

munbun··on Ask HN: Help me pick a front-end framework
> it's too late to refactor now.

typescript effectively eliminates this issue, which is why it comes so highly recommended - regardless of framework.

vanilla javascript is not your friend on large, complex projects.

munbun··on Most Texans pay more in taxes than Californians, data suggests
After exemptions, I pay 2% of my home’s appraised value in property taxes each year in Texas.

50% goes towards primary school + 30% goes to my local city but the money doesn’t seem to impact education outcomes or general quality of life near me.

I don’t mind the distribution but it stings when local government seems to be plagued by chronic mismanagement.

munbun··on Facebook Gave Police Teenager's DMs in Abortion Prosecution

  - Only 3 clinics in the state, all 2 hours away
  - Only 1 clinic performs abortion at 20 weeks
  - Requires a 24 hour wait period by law
  - Requires parental consent under 18
  - Between 16-20 weeks, costs $2500-$5000 
These are all pretty significant barriers for anyone without resources, especially a teen trying to hide her pregnancy.
munbun··on Astro 1.0 – a web framework for building fast, content-focused websites
JSX is much easier to maintain than pretty much every other templating language.

If you are building a growing design system with any degree of complexity, React is one of the best tools available.
