By the miraculous grace of God, a crack allowed pressure to bleed & enabled our engine company to prevent thermal runaway. A BLEVE was the projected outcome, a firefighters worst n…

So disappointed by the irrational and hyperbolic comments from my fellow nerds. Why are folks reading into this so much!? Clearly folks aren’t actually reading the content and just…

:point_up: this… The article is purely a marketing piece. As we know with all tech, it’s how you hold it. Yes, you can certainly graph all the entities, activities & relationships …

It’s fair that there are proponents & value props beyond those early folks that came from the Java type world. I guess I’m tainted/jaded by the early proponents and initial rationa…

There it is… that’s the classic argument. Large teams/codebase. I totally get the appeal, but the idea this can’t be done effectively without it is nonsense. Long before TS, we had…

Classic example of comments I've heard since the 90s. I’d strongly encourage doing a deeper dive here. Functions in JS are objects and can have their own methods/props + scope. The…

+1 - that was a really cool idea that I really was hopeful would take off.

Despite being down on all the extras, I wanna reiterate - I do think this is a cool project and I dig that HTAs are still around.

I think, based on many battles, a lot of folks in the early days that came from Java/C++ absolutely struggled with the key concepts of JavaScript, couldn’t find “features” (like st…

Firstly, it’s functional with closures… From there prototypal - so you can express whatever you want… the key is being functional. This was a key to the advent of JSON, but is also…

Static/strong typing is not necessary in JS. Yes, ES6 brings the OOPiness

This stuff pre-dates .NET and quite honestly I think that’s what m$ was going for in those early days. VBScript was pretty annoying and dealing with COM objects sucked badly. Back …

Been doing this since 1999. The only thing novel I see here is the transpilers - but you know… you don’t need that. You can build HTAs with native JavaScript, CSS and HTML - and wi…

When hyperbolic reactions rule the day, particularly when they are contradictory to one’s stated goals (provide clean, low prices energy and potable water) - dismissive labels are …

Yup! If memory serves, some of the design was borrowed from the San Onofre plans. Certainly only limiting in terms of volume of desalinated water for Orange County. I believe that …

;P

Turns out it’s actually harder to decommission… :shrug:

This was originally planned in conjunction with the San Onofre nuclear power plant, which gave all of SoCal amazing power and offered the infrastructure for performing desalination…

Having recently participated in a of review GitHub Copilot to determine if we might allow it at work, I can say it appears that most of the utility is in tab-completion of what you…

As a volunteer Greyshirt with Team Rubicon, I cannot relate. One of our cultural principles is, literally, “Get shit done”. Another is, “Your mom’s a donor”. In your position, I mi…

Doubling down on my comments about ShapeUp (et al) as I reflect. Engineering management, in my experience, has an allergy to agility. They can and do take any methodology, turn it …

Been using ShapeUp for nearly a year now in an org of ~50 engineers. Let me start by saying, if you intend to adopt ShapeUp, spend a great deal of time reading and buying into thei…

Yaaaas, my dad had one of these and through some magazine I had learned it could produce music… I had limited success but I was able to master enough annoying compositions to be fo…
