  • I feel like maybe you don’t know what a headless component library is. A cli has a head – the terminal. Headless applications, by definition, have no visual portion. For instance, a headless browser is a browser where the web page renders in-memory, but never displays any content. A headless component library, then, is one where the implementor doesn’t provide anything visual, only behavior. For web dev, is very helpful – the library implementator writes all the js, but the css and html (the “head”) are left to the user for use. The best headless component libraries, then have nothing to screenshot without the user supplying some implementation.











  • I think we can even calculate about how often it happens. My math is gonna be Amerigo-centric because I’m American and so are fortune cookies.

    There are ~3 billion fortune cookies produced yearly in the USA, so 8.2 million cookies are opened per day. There are 292,201,338 PowerBall combinations. That means that there’s about a 2.8% chance that someone opens a fortune cookie that has any given lotteries numbers on it. But wait! There isn’t just one “the lottery”; there are 48 states and territories in the US, and my state (Washington) has four games. Assuming everyone’s state is like mine, and you randomly select a lottery to play, that leaves us with a much more modest .014% chance that on a given day, someone opens a fortune cookie with their lottery number on it.
