Small hiccup in the grand scheme of things. I believe that they will get a product car out this year!

I love mobx (definitely not one of the 58), but I would use redux on large apps (maybe, more than 15 pages?), especially if you don't care too much about performance. Redux has bet…

I've had good experiences with https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rtorr.vs... so far, but perhaps I've gotten lucky. When I first tried flow out a few months ago I…

It definitely has advantages. But I don't think using babel precludes shipping a binary with a standard pre-built config.

Totally. I tell new devs to use typescript. But I don't think using babel precludes shipping a binary with a standard pre-built config.

Microsoft has absolutely done an amazing job with typescript IDE integration. But are there any end-user IDE benefits to typescript over flow/eslint? (Not being snarky.) I've been …

I suppose the problem is that I see typescript as the fragmentation. If MS leverages babel (they can even keep shipping TS as their own thing if they want, I just want them to prov…

I really wish that MS would release typescript as a collection of plugins for babel that would handle only one thing at a time (eg, the type system). Having my production build, es…

If anyone is looking for a similar tool for JS, I've used codemods to great effect. https://vramana.github.io/blog/2015/12/21/codemod-tutorial/

Honestly, this sounds like a big step backwards in UX if implemented widely. I would really rather not have to manually install a million packages when pulling down dependencies - …

Some discussion on the elixir subreddit a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/elixir/comments/50nvhg/websocket_sh... Of note is that of these, I think only the elixir and ruby (…

(Note: I support trigger warnings and think that they have a lot of use as a tool even outside of the typical context) I'm in close contact with a lot of social justice groups, spe…

I mean, react (and associated frontend technologies) are just a way of making it easier to write code within the constraints of browsers, which are honestly a small miracle. Yes, t…

What stack are you using? The description you give doesn't match my experience with modern javascript (react, webpack, flow/typescript, etc). If you have to build a desktop app wit…

What are you having problems with? I remember setting up react-native to be a total breeze the first time around, especially compared to html react.

While the cryptocurrency conversation online is dominated by right-libertarians, I think you'll find that a lot of hard/radical leftwing direct-action types are very much obsessed …

It's disappointing that this article doesn't address the various animals with a degree of biological immortality (eg jellyfish, lobsters). I'm not convinced that the laws of thermo…

We don't have anything remotely close to a free market in housing, though - I would be much, much more apt to lay the blame for the current housing crisis at the feet of misguided …

That's how these things always go (15 years is the usual "sentence"). Assuming that the US is willing to play ball, they'll start negotiating now and eventually trade him for a vis…

I don't want to get into too much detail on this out of respect for Otto. I wasn't there when he took the poster down, but I definitely believe that he did. Also, no invisible line…

Definitely! But imagine you're North Korea, looking at the world's most powerful military by a huge margin, practicing the invasion of your country a few miles from your border, on…

Whenever I got home from my previous vacations, my mom would say, disapprovingly, "Where are you going next, North Korea?!". I had a spare week this winter and thought that sounded…

Hrm, that's the not impression I tried to give in my comment. Obviously I was in a dystopia, and it was made very clear that we were being handled - not even the guides tried to pr…
