True enough. Although personally I prefer to just use regular functions rather than big inheritance chains.

Probably if nothing else, impossible to have it perform well without static typing?

In most languages you could probably solve this problem with a class. But wrapping all your numbers in a class with runtime consequences, just for a bit of extra type safety, feels…

It's hardly odd. "Even" just means "divisible by 2" "2 is the only prime that is divisible by 2" "3 is the only prime that is divisible by 3" "5 is the only prime that is divisible…

He should have at least called it eejss-sort

Runtime validate at the database boundary? Isn't it better to just do runtime validation at the api boundary instead? Then any of the types that make it into the database should be…

The funny thing is, it was pretty clear to me he meant that as a bit of a joke. The question on our application is "are you a fit for the JD" For the most part, the answer is "obvi…

Would absolutely love to know how other engineers on HN approach interviews and assessing technical competence. I didn't _think_ I had any mis-steps here but would love to know if …

At this point TS is a turing complete language. Complaining that you have to tune it for performance is like complaining that your runtime code isn't automatically maximally perfor…

Very cool! Will you also add support for secret based 2FA codes, similar to Authy / Google Authenticator? It would be incredible to have those autofill.

But this isn't an `any -> any` case. They passed in a default value, as a string, which is the correct type for a default value for this column. Even with very strong typing they w…
