    I wonder if this project, at least VCL compiler part of it, could've benefited from the use of a parser generator. I understand going slow, but using a parser generator would've al…

    I believe that `strictFunctionTypes` only applies to callbacks. TypeScript is okay with the following code even with that option turned on: class Animal {} class Cat extends Animal…

    This really depends on what you care about. Flow is much better at ensuring type safety in your code while TypeScript has some pretty glaring holes in this respect. In particular, …

    Ask HN: Is there any video conferencing software that has a question queue?

    I work on a fully remote team at a company with a large remote contingency. We use hangouts a lot at work and were lamenting it's lack of plugin/extension support. We'd like to add…

    KaTeX strives to match LaTeX's behavior so it may actual be an issue with the screen readability of LaTeX. We're currently discussing ways to improve this in https://github.com/KaT…

    My limited understanding of MathJax is that it uses the browser to measure glyphs. KaTeX on the other hand includes metrics for many of its glyphs. Where things get a little tricky…

    I think part of BuckleScript's speed may come from the source language, OCaml, being easier to parse. There may also be fewer passes necessary to transform OCaml to JavaScript.

    Does anyone know the actual spec for this binary AST can be found? In particular I'm curious about the format of each node type.

    While SVG can do a lot, there are certain things that it isn't optimized for. In particular animating lots of shapes simultaneously. The animation of the globe exploding into a bun…

    Nice work. The drawing recognition feature seemed to work well. One little thing that could be improve is enforcing a minimum font size so that deeply nested fractions don't become…

    I had experimental WebGL 2 support turned on. Turning it off, fixed the problem.

    There's a lot of compile to JS languages. It'd be interesting to see how many frontend devs are migrating to these languages for at least some of their projects.

    Typr.js doesn't seem to have a way to write out fonts after editing them. In what way is it more versatile?

    Is there a way to batch requests? I'd like to be able to get/set more than one value at a time. It'd also be nice to be able to get a list of all my keys just in case I forget.
