The maintainer jackton1's response to this is extremely shady. He tries to prove his innocence by showing that renovate bot changed the author of the malicious commit but I'm betting he's behind the whole thing.

The compiler says "expected X, but found Y". I don't know how to interpret this: is the type of the thing underlined with "^^^" X or Y? "Expected" and "found" are just like "up" and "down" in space: they are meaningless if you don't know what the compiler expects (and why should it?).
What it needs to say is something along the lines of "a function f is defined with type X, but is given an argument of type Y": maybe the function should be defined differently, maybe the argument needs to change -- it's up to the programmer to decide.
You cannot be serious right now.

Just because something is old, doesn’t mean it is bad.
Disagree.

My first MS OS was DOS 2.x (forgot the exact point release...). I remember going to Costco as a kid and getting excited whenever a new version of DOS, and later Windows came out because each and every one of them was a true upgrade in every sense of the word. They built things for the users and it showed. I even got to beta test Windows 95 and was blown away when it came out. The last good OS MS released was Windows XP. After that the trend was clear. They were no-longer building stuff for users and instead were building for companies to take advantage of users. MS has completely lost my trust and I doubt they will ever get it back.
Why are boomers so stubborn and adamant about things they form opinions of and won't change their mind, even when they're wrong? Is it a lack of intelligence? Or too much pride? Both?
Kick rocks, by the way.

As opposed to IRC? Forums? hell - even an email list... All things that are a lot easier to search then Discord, have much lighter clients, and can be done free.
Do you really think there was 'no way to communicate' for projects before discord ?
You're comparing ancient obsolete technology to a streamlined instant messaging client. There's a reason they 'just' use Discord. So now you want developers to have to check emails, IRC, forum posts, whatever other outdated communication platform, AND Discord? Why on Earth would they use all that when Discord takes care of all of those features and more.
Having more than one central place to communicate is 'hostile'.

All of that could be discovered through the API with a bit of scripting. Fetch the latest item number and decrement until you get to one month ago.
All of what? They asked a single question about a single data point and your suggestion doesn't even make sense.

Thanks for the heads up!
I fixed the SVG graphs and made a couple layout updates based on the feedback here and some earlier feedback from my subreddit, see the before-after here.[1]
I've been mostly focused on function lately, the redesign is, let's say, a work in progress.
(Oh also, I use they/them pronouns these days [2])

You're a twat for correcting people about your silly pronouns.
Hey, Hot Page is my project but somehow I was not aware of Hot Glue. And reviewing it now I would hazard to say the projects are superficially similar. Hot Page is a visual/drag-and-drop web editor that uses no abstractions so the whole time you're using it you have complete control of the resulting DOM (all elements, nesting, attributes, CSS rules, etc). So it's kind of like CodePen but for building real sites. I wrote more about this philosophy here: https://hot.page/takes/picking-the-right-abstraction
Yeah, Hot Page, had no clue Hot Glue exists.... Stop lying.
I’m glad the weird-flashy trend is back. We’ve been on the clean/flat design land for too long.
Even if we’re more self ware now and a bit a cynicism and self-deprecation is inevitable, but that’s postmodernism for you.
You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.
