That's fair, but I think going on _just_ the quantifiable stuff was still enough of a justification for us. My feels are that the cost of our confusing former name is higher than w…

Scott from Gel here. I suspect for everyone we talked to in the "So, this is a database for Edge computing?" camp there were a dozen people who thought that and just kept moving ev…

I haven't had a face to go with these voices, and now they are canonically two pelicans. Thank you for putting this in my head.

This really was solidified by going through the course at https://type-level-typescript.com since it involves learning the type-level language of TypeScript and solve little puzzle…

Yeah! Making explicit return types, especially of public functions, is a good practice to follow. I'd say the main reason isn't performance, though, but rather to ensure you have a…

Good news! There is a configuration option for that: https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#noEmitOnError

Hey, article's author here! Happy to answer any questions, or poke at this general problem with anyone who is interested. Understanding the type checker and its performance is my c…

Super excited to see Automerge getting this high-level API out. Been following since before 1.0 and I can't wait to play around with the latest incarnation! Congrats to the Automer…

In this specific case (Elm vs. JavaScript) We're talking about JavaScript here, so: > - ubiquitous things, like data structures There are a few basic data structures in JS, but alm…

Hopefully we will get real pattern-matching at some point ( https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching ), but I kinda sorta like this!

A lot of the comments here seem to think this has to become the next Uber, but it really doesn't. It just needs to sustain the cooperative workers and provide a service at whatever…

"The only thing that matters is HEAD+1. I don’t even know why we use version control. It’s entertaining, I guess—the commits and the bug fixes and the rewrites, and stuff like that…

I went through the trouble of actually logging into my Hacker News account just to say that the generated version of me looks exactly like me. O_o

I've been using Nightly for about 2 months for personal browsing, and have recently switched to using it for my web development job using containers, and it's been great. Biggest f…

I'm not sure why you think that, but private industry did not make slavery in America. Large royal charters and monopolies granted by the crown created huge estates and large tract…

You're kind of agreeing with my point here. I'm saying that tempering evil with the state is a legitimate use of the state apparatus. That shouldn't be construed as thinking that t…

I, for one, am divided on issues like this and all of the other social issues of our time. In my world-view, the cause is the state (don't take that to mean society, I mean literal…

When reading this, my immediate instinct was to say: "Easy!" import { flattenDeep } from 'lodash'; const flat = flattenDeep([1,2[3], [4, [5,6]]); Not sure why employers care about …

I was very shrug-y about this new non-framework until you pointed out it was a Rich Harris project. Definitely interested now...

It needs to be rewritten, unfortunately. However this isn't just rewriting it so it works with one tool, since this is the new module syntax. I imagine that a future version of jQu…

> Next, the dynamic nature of JavaScript is to blame. You can't easily extract and compile just the functions you need. Definitely check out rollup, if you haven't heard of it. We …

The basis of the complaints raised in this article, is that they didn't want to include jQuery just for the query string parser. I think rollup and ES2015 modules is taking us in t…
