edit - I'm removing this comment because I offended someone.

The reason your posts in this thread are so irritating is because TS has all the same junk people hate about JS. You say things like JS is "deeply problematic" and "full of pot hol…

If your .ts code differs massively from your .js code you have no one to blame but yourself.

I agree with your comment. > Why would hunter gatherers not wear clothes, when they can offer useful protection against the elements? I was curious about this and looked it up. App…

> On June 10, he [Wilson] refused to sit again for the portrait that Sir William Orpen was painting of him because Orpen had drawn his ears as large and protuberant as they actuall…

React is not "batteries included". Angular is. This isn't a weakness in React. I prefer react's approach. But it does mean the developer needs to make more decisions. Angular comes…

> Dogs got closer to humans thousands of years ago. Their role was to protect. In the process, they became less intelligent than their ancestors: The wolf. I don't think it's fair …

Whether a show, book, movie, song, etc is "worth the time" is entirely subjective. There are million dollar franchises based on material that I don't consider worth my time. But yo…

I don't think anyone in this comment chain is saying "we don't want women building stuff". Rather, some commenters are uncomfortable with the assumption that moving from 15 males t…

I really enjoyed the interview as well. Borges' manner of speaking is wonderful. > Borges says he's not a thinker in the interview. But I dunno, even if his influences are clear, h…

It's written for a general American audience so it makes sense to use those units.

> Zuckerberg and FBI director Comey do as well. Seems common sense these days. Which is really, really sad. Both of these people are public figures. You can argue that it's common …

Whenever you're shooting up a human with something you need to be careful about what you're shooting them up with. That doesn't say anything about vaccines.

That seems like a strange reason to love a movie. I liked the visuals, but I think the script was a disaster, and the movie itself was only middling.

I thought wasm was going to have a human-readable equivalent, called wast. See: https://webassembly.org/getting-started/advanced-tools/ My understanding (maybe wrong) was that this…

On a fundamental level I agree with your point. Truly absolute morality implies some kind of external rule of law, which implies some kind of external lawmaker. Where I disagree is…

I thought this was a good article. I think the relationship between streamers and their audience is a more extreme form of the relationship between celebrities and their fans (some…

I don't agree. Take Dick for example: whether his writing deals with "the highest kind of truth" is not important to me. I've read just about everything he's written because I enjo…

Companies (and people) are not pure good or pure evil. It's always a mix. I'm not thrilled with windows 10 ads, but typescript, chakra js engine, dot net core, and others are open …

Whenever I read these kinds of posts on this website I think of Sterling Hayden in Dr. Strangelove. (The crazy SAC commander who thinks the Russians are plotting to steal Americans…

It seems that some people view the term "meritocracy" negatively because they believe it implies that everyone has the same opportunities. I don't see that implication, but if enou…

I don't know why you think that. I think the safest assumption is that being dead will be exactly like not being born.

I don't think it was ridiculous to begin with (neither was "terrorism") but it's ridiculous now. I would define "fake news" as news published by people who know what they're publis…

He did win, in 1998. Even if he hadn't, he's dead now, so he wouldn't be eligible.

Long term thinking is not useful when long term means "5 billion years".
