In HTML, an Input with Zero Length is Never too Small

Imagine you have an a text input with a minimum length:

<input type="text" minLength="1">

Imagine you have a reference to this element and you call `.reportValidity` or `.checkValidity`.

So long as the input is empty, it will be treated as a valid length.

You need to add the `required` attribute when you want the length to not be zero.

Fix Controller Input when a Game Doesn't Use Steam Input

Background Knowledge Steam Input is an interface for developers to use the controller configuration built into Steam for their games. It is entirely optional and not all games use it. Steam gives you the option to enable and disable Steam Input on a per game basis. Steam has controller button mapping for in-game, Big Picture Mode, and on desktop (outside of games), and mappings for individual games. By default Steam will give certain controllers a desktop mapping that lets you move the mouse and bring up an on-screen keyboard, which is not what you want in a game. If you press F11 in a game and Steam Overlay doesn't appear and you have it configured to appear, Steam thinks that you are not in a game, and therefore it will use the desktop mapping instead of the in-game mapping. Steam Input works by capturing inputs from your controller, suppressing them from the rest of your system and emitting the inputs that you desire instead to the rest of your system. Problem If you are playin...

VSC Vanishing Go Imports

With the Go extension installed in VSC, by default if you have an unused import, when you save, it will disappear. If you're like me and you may habitually press ctrl+s, this is very frustrating. After a lot of messing around in VSC's settings. I learned that this "feature" has nothing to do with the settings pertaining to linting or formatting. It's actually to do with automatic import organisation, which you can configure as follows in VSC's settings.json. "[go]" : { "editor.codeActionsOnSave" : { "source.organizeImports" : false, }, } This solution comes from this StackOverflow answer. You can still organise imports with the shortcut shift+alt+o.

En Dash with ComposeKey (Shift+AltGr)

AltGr is short for "alternative grammar". It doesn't do much on Windows, outside of adding acute accents to vowels and turning '4' into '€'. On Linux it does a much wider variety of things and more things still with 'AltGr+Shift', just give it a try. It's not just for foreign characters but also fractions and arrows. There is also a program called ComposeKey , which Ubuntu and probably many other distros, comes with automatically. If you type 'Shift+AltGr' the next few characters you type will be composed into  a character that sort of resembles that combination e.g. Shift+AltGr, s, s => ß  and Shift+AltGr, =, > => ⇒ . You can alter the config for combinations here:   /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose  (or similar). Although 3 hyphens does make an 'em dash', 2 hyphens doesn't make an 'en dash'. What I didn't realise until I looked in the config file was that you need 2 hyphens followed by...
