I also don't think you have the correct responsibility analysis here. Are you aware that require-yield is recommended by ESLint core, or that require-await is also a core rule, or that, in general, linters aren't just to "catch bugs"?

That's a very skewed depiction of the rule. It requires async to be licensed by an await, the same way require-yield (which is a core rule) requires generators to be licensed by a yield, or no-extraneous-calss requires classes to be licensed by an instance property.

Canny machine-translates post content (written by user) to the browser's preferred language, but the UI labels remain in English—has to be the funniest l10n strategy

I don't remember if this is my first time (maybe Docusaurus 2 too?), but it's good to be involved in a news that stayed in HN#1 for so long!
(Interestingly, exactly 10 out of the 300+ comments ever mentioned or linked MDN.)

It will be in Firefox 135 behind a flag, and other browsers are still working on it. If all things go well it should be GA late this year.

The Temporal docs are now live on MDN! After watching it evolve for ~5 years I finally sat down and wrote docs for it—one of the biggest additions to the JS docs area ever.

We don't show enough appreciation for what a piece of art parser generators are. They are the ultimate forms of software design. Here I'm taking one second to appreciate this epic error message that LALRPOP produces.

A beautifully rendered error message from LALRPOP demonstrating a particular parse path that leads to ambiguity, with an ASCII diagram showing two possible derivations.

You want 4. Those who can't but know how to tickle ChatGPT the right way to get a solution. They actually deliver anything you ask for.

Out of curiosity is stage 3 a sufficient condition for implementation issues? I imagine the "research phase" should start before stage 3 and stage 3 should be for "experiment phase" and "shipping phase" already?

Would be useful to have links to implementation issues too, so we know how close we are to stage 4 (and to documentation inclusion)

I just think there should be a way to customize module resolution in any env—Node or HTML or workers. What about the Worker() constructor since the type is also specified there?

Sorry too busy to write docs outside of JS lang :( Typically Web API docs are written by people tasked by either FF or Chrome, so if Google cares enough you would see it when Chrome ships it, otherwise you would definitely see it when FF ships it!

TIL that webpack is not capitalized! But their blog uses "Webpack" at start of sentence though: webpack.js.org/blog/2020-10...

Webpack 5 release (2020-10-10) | webpack

webpack is a module bundler. Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset.
