The assumption that a CSS/JS sourcemap file shares the same name as the source file is a trend that needs to stop. Browsers do not assume this, but compilers do and it breaks a lot of things.

This is the main source of income according to the manifesto costing document. In fact the costing doc suggests we’ll be increasing deficit by £1bn/yr _unless_ corp tax income increases. So again, how is that supposed to happen?

Perhaps someone smarter than me can explain why the #ConservativeManifesto costing document expects corp tax income to more than double in revenues from 3bn to 6.3bn by 2024 despite freezing the tax rate. How will this happen?

Oh, hey... look! https://github.com/sponsors/keithamus you can give me money to work on open source stuff, if that’s your thing.

The last time I visited a public charging station in my EV was April, and it was mostly for the novelty of it. I’ve used public chargers maybe 6 or 7 times since becoming an EV owner.

With my EV, it goes in my driveway and gets plugged in. I know it’ll be fully charged in the morning and I’ll drive off with a full tank. It takes maybe 20s a day to plug it in, vs 15 mins at the petrol pump every 3 days. I used to dread refuelling my petrol car.

When I had a petrol car, and a job with a 100 mile commute, my fuel tank would last about 3 days. On the third day I’d get the yellow warning light on the way to work and think “shit I’m have to pull into the service station, fuel up and pay, it’s gonna make me late for work”

I’ve been driving EVs for a few years now. Peoples first question is always about range anxiety; which I find hilarious because as a seasoned EV driver, to me range anxiety is a phenomenon for petrol car owners.

My team at GitHub creates and maintains reusable JS behaviors (custom elements). On the surface it might seem like a framework of sorts still, but the biggest difference is that now many features are shipped with 0 new JS. Our “framework” encourages you to rely on HTML. https://twitter.com/NickColley/status/1186034651737022465

I hate to say it but I think it’s clear who should win #GameofThrones. Cersei rules with fear, and so loses to the fearless. Daenerys rules with love and ultimately her best fall on their swords for her. John Snow leads by believing in people and they do great things with that.
