Whoa I got that too! I usually use Safari or Firefox (Google creeps me out) but I have tested the whole site in all three browsers, except this one button in Chrome I guess :D I'll…

Also, sorry for the terrible website. Web design is not my forte, I'm an app guy, and this was the quickest thing I could hack together in a couple days. Also I'm aware of the issu…

Greetings fellow hackers! Author of Autumn here! I've been writing Autumn on and off for a few months, because there's something really satisfying and rewarding about automating so…

I actually like how it compiles down. In a native macOS app I just released this morning, I wrote originally in Preact, converting JSX to function calls to avoid a build phase, and…

This is why I always liked Cocoa (macOS native UI toolkit) and still prefer it over web UI when writing native apps. It separates out the concepts of layout, appearance, and behavi…

That's a good way to put it, and yeah I would agree that's how I like to use errors: give me the details I ask for and let me ignore the ones I don't care about. Sometimes an "erro…

If you're writing a command line utility that tries to load a config file and falls back on defaults if it's not found, you may try to load it and just ignore any error, only carin…

Without taking sides on the issue, these are purposeful trade-offs that the Go team makes. They are trying to avoid bloating the language and making it too difficult for them to ad…

I think the core distinction is business-centric conferences vs developer-centric conferences. You've entirely named the former. Those are geared towards using platforms , and whil…

There seems to be a lot of influence between editors which to me is the most interesting part of all of this. Just looking at TKE's screenshots, it resembles VS Code to a not-insig…

True, but anecdotal data are also useful. I came to this thread to see what a bunch of other deep thinkers think about standing desks and if they have any stories to tell. For my p…

Only if you're using Go's native GC as the Lua VM's GC, which isn't the only option.

Go was originally intended as a systems level language, suitable for writing extremely efficient servers, dealing directly with raw bytes where needed, therefore enabling writing c…

Nothing necessarily surprising about this. Yes Go is made by Google, but not by all of Google, just like this project isn't necessarily a first-class Microsoft project (although it…

I know you're not necessarily looking for specific advice to this one problem, and I agree and would rather pay for software than be the product, but since email is the topic, have…

> Note: This is not an officially supported Google product at this time. Why is that? Is it kind of like the other project that was here recently, where it was created at FB but no…

That's not an inherent limitation of the language though. There's nothing stopping a server-side implementation from adding threads as a first-class feature and breaking away from …

A lot of it is described in https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-compatibil... More examples are on https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/FAQ

This is an excellent hindsight-2020 project, and the concept is overall an improvement on Node, but I'm afraid the ship has sailed and Node's momentum is too high to stop. Not that…

Well shit. Yeah usually I read the article first but the title got me so excited that I wrote the comment because that topic really fascinates me. Oh well. Thanks for pointing it o…

I'm intrigued by this idea of random-socialization online. Obviously the sites like this have thus far catered more towards sexual content, but I feel like there's huge potential f…

Nonsense. JavaScript is a general programming language that's suitable for many different kinds of environments. It just so happens to have started in the browser, but it could jus…

I immediately disabled the “smart completion”. It was wrong 100% of the time so far, and it’s just going to ruin my train of thought, or worse, train me to say what it thinks I sho…
