the number of times when i have written

const hex = codepoint.toString(16);
return `U+${hex.length >= 4 ? "" : Array(4 - hex.length).fill(0).join("")}${hex.toUpperCase()}`;

it’s not that hard

what bothers me third most about leftpad is that this is not a situation where DRY is applicable; it is clearer and less ambiguous to just write this as a one‐to‐three‐liner directly in your code

and these are the same people who argue semantic versioning is “important” and “meaningful”

what bothers me the second most about leftpad is that packages released “stable” versions while having a dependency on something versioned 0.0.3

function leftpad (str, len, ch) {
if ( str.length < len ) {
var fillChar = !ch ? " " : String(ch)[0];
return Array(len - str.length).fill(fillChar).join("") + str;
} else {
return str;
}
}

function leftpad (str, len, ch) {
str = String(str);

var i = -1;

if (!ch && ch !== 0) ch = ' ';

len = len - str.length;

while (++i < len) {
str = ch + str;
}

return str;
}

what bothers me the most about leftpad is that it isn’t even good

even though xmldom is like, a hacky NPM package

i’m at the point where i’m wondering whether i don’t want to just make a hard dependency on xmldom instead of relying on browsers’ DOM capabilities

stop removing XML features that i need

god damn it DOM standard

even at the age of like 6 i knew what a bubbly sans‐serif font meant and that it was bad news

like look at this

excuse me???

they’re called “little bites” now which as a child i would just find demeaning

remember when mini wheats were too big so they invented even more mini wheats

like i used to listen to the christopher nolan batman movie soundtracks but then the mad max soundtrack came out and it’s like those but what if they were good
