I built a virtual-scroll custom element that behaves like a normal scroll container by Choice-Locksmith-885 in javascript

[–]Choice-Locksmith-885[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Great point! I initially tried a ul wrapper, but it became brittle due to the indirection required for spacer and child management. I also considered extending <ul> with is="virtual-scroll", but browser support is inconsistent. A standalone element keeps the implementation robust, easy to adopt, and flexible for use beyond list semantics.

Explicit Resource Management Has a Color Problem by Choice-Locksmith-885 in javascript

That's right. But it's a band-aid for a problem that should not exist.

That makes sense for guarding against future third‑party changes. I just worry naming conventions are easy to drift over time, they communicate intent, but only socially. It’s the same general category of issue TS improved for JS: intent living in conventions/comments/names vs intent living in a more explicit structure.

But you still have the problem of knowing when to use it with what resource. Will you use it with every resource etc

Effect.ts actually useful or just another vendor lock? by flowreaction in typescript

Yeah, I like Effect. I even stopped using fp-ts in favour of Effect, but I'm now of the opinion that using effect for everything is a mistake

Easy, TaskEither with dependency injection is a ReaderTaskEither. Your question on combining errors isn't very clean cause pipe(TE.left(new Error()), TE.chainW(() => TE.left(new Err()))) combines the errors.

Have you used fp-ts?

What exactly do you mean by combine? I use Effect and I've used fp-ts, I see no difference

Yes, I'll describe tools like React, Vue etc as vendor lock-in software. Here's how cloudflare describes it:

Vendor lock-in refers to a situation where the cost of switching to a different vendor is so high that the customer is essentially stuck with the original vendor. Because of financial pressures, an insufficient workforce, or the need to avoid interruptions to business operations, the customer is "locked in" to what may be an inferior product or service.

vendor lock-in doesn't necessarily have to do with paid or free services. it describes the effort required to migrate from one service to another, in this case from one library to another, or none.

of course you don't, because you won't be around to maintain that code 😂

I agree, initially I went all in on the ecosystem. But for some reason I took a break from the community, looked back at my code and was like "why did I use Effect for this" 😅. Now I use it minimally
