That hasn't been my experience at all outside the opinion section, which is precisely what you described. The main section feels pretty anti Trump, actually. Not by choice but real…

With all due respect, have you read it regularly? In my experience, WSJ just reports what happened and who said what in a very dry way. My impression is that their news section pro…

I would love this in modern languages. For dev builds, I see JIT compilation as a better deal than debug builds because it's capable of eventually reaching peak performance. For pe…

I think WSJ is a good complement to the Economist. They have good, unsensationalized coverage of the facts. I ignore their opinion columns as they don't seem very serious.

I also read the Economist. Other than that, Wall Street Journal is quite good at purely factual, unopinionated coverage. Note that their Opinion section is heavily biased towards t…

A very simple way to think about is that if an intrinsic is written in C, the JIT can't easily inline it, whereas all ruby code can be inlined. Inlining is the most important optim…

I suppose it's a matter of perspective but I don't see returning a 500 as "Recovering from the error". The user's request has still failed. It just hasn't taken down the server. IM…

> manually pass around JSON objects and continually checking their shape Well Zod is a library that's typically used on the boundary. I don't know why you're assuming stuff about a…

> So I try to make the ones that seem the most likely impossible. Yeah this is a very key point to reflect on. Is this stricter type actually catching a bug that's easy to make? Or…

There is something to be said about pushing such things to runtime checks. I'm not arguing for giving up type systems in general, but I'd rather read something like `class VersionS…

I think you're being too negative about why people got excited. It is quite a bit faster than eslint. Not saying it's a good food idea to use it. I think it asks too much out of me…

I went through exactly what you went through and by god it was frustrating. Eventually I did get stuff to work, but in the process I became an expert in a bunch of tools that I nev…

You can use React without jsx too. JSX is just a very thin wrapper over React.createElemental ``` const h = React.createElement h('div', { id: 'foo' }, [ h(MyComponent, props) ]) `…

I think you're being too unfair. People aren't dumb. It's also about how much better. Beyond a decent enough type system, the advantages start to flatten and other factors start to…

It doesn't have access to the type system, for example. It just sees it's input as what you typed in the code. It wouldn't be able to see through aliases.

Well I wouldn't call lalrpop "Pure rust". It's a separate language that gets compiled to rust. It's within the rust ecosystem though. Perhaps cargo could expose a simpler way to us…

> a single component outweighing an entire app feels fundamentally broken. I think this is an overly dramatic take. Of course react has a fixed overhead. If all you're deploying is…

It's generic system for example, is built on top of comptime. A generic struct is just a function that takes a type as an argument and returns a struct. ``` fn Vec(comptime T: anyt…
