Paged Out! #4 is out and once again I got to write two articles. This time, my articles are about TypeScript's type system. The first article appears on page 37 and shows a program which only compiles if an array in the source code is a valid magic square. The second article, on page 31 is a continuation and looks at a useful use-case of TypeScript's advance type-system. Enjoy! All the other articles are great, do read the ezine from cover to cover!| Alok Menghrajani
The newest YCombinator logo (upgraded to SVG in 2023) looks fine on a small screen. But if you zoom or have a large and high resolution screen, you might notice an uneven blue border. The border is 0.375 pixels wide so you might incorrectly think that it's invisible. Some high density screens automatically zoom by a factor between 2.0 and 3.0 (and perhaps more in the future). In such cases, the tiny border becomes apparent (which is how I noticed it). The logo can be fixed by tweaking the svg...| Alok Menghrajani
Buildnext is a free web tool that takes your LEGO inventory (list of sets by their identification number) and calculates the list of LEGO sets you can build with a link to rebrickable.com. Most sets have downloadable instructions either directly on rebrickable.com or on one of the other popular sites (such as bricklink.com, brickset.com, or brickowl.com). Hopefully, this tool will give you even more hours of fun with your LEGO and kids.| Alok Menghrajani
Today, I launched https://da.ilyqrco.de/, a website which shows a different QR Code every day. Scan the QRCode with your phone's camera app to visit a daily website I consider interesting. I pick the best content by browsing a select few subreddits, Hackernews, and various other sources. My goal is to surprise you with an interesting mix of technology, science, and fun content. Enjoy!| Alok Menghrajani
I built a Sliding Puzzle web game. It was a lot of fun to come up with three different difficulty levels and write the code. The puzzle has a Rubik's cube-like feel to it, which makes the hard level particularly hard! The game supports mouse, touch, and keyboard. Getting things to work across different devices and types of browsers was a bit challenging -- especially figuring out ways to avoid touch gesture conflicts. Enjoy!| Alok Menghrajani
