TIL you can emulate the as const type suffix in JS with a helper function. (source) /** * Identity function. Coerces string/number literals to value-as-type. * @template {string|number} T * @param {T} v * @return {T} */ function toConst(v) { return v; } const five = toConst(5); // --> Type...

This “Tiny Creatures” animal drama is cute and impressively put together with slow-mo close-ups…wait he filmed it in his backyard in England during quarantine? decider.com/2020/08/07/tin…

It would be very poetic if adding Trump’s face to Mount Rushmore caused the entire monument to collapse. White House reached out to South Dakota governor about adding President Trump to Mount Rushmore, New York Times reports https://t.co/0MqdAsJfft— CNN (@CNN) August 9, 2020

I love that “keep the tweets flowing” was their last tweet before having to lock down twitter. Keep the Tweets flowing and the conversations going, without switching between other tabs and the Messages tab.On the desktop version of https://t.co/fuPJa36kt0, you can now access your DMs at the bottom right of...
