Unless you are running some really complicated globally distributed backend your roundtrip will always be higher than 80ms for all users outside your immediate geographical area. And the techniques to "fix" this usually only mitig

I was just thinking of the projects I worked in and none of them would be a clean migration to not transpile typescript anymore in development mode. My main problem would be the typescript class/field modifiers, like you said I use rea

The main problem is when the optimizations silently fail because of seemingly innocent changes and suddenly your performance tanked 10x. This is a problem with any language really (CPU cache misses are a thing afterall and many non-dynamic

I have a friend using it and he said the worst thing (for him, he didn't have nausa/constipation/etc) is that food is not enjoyable anymore. He says he feels hungry, eats, doesn't feel full but doesn't want to eat a

Thanks, interesting that there are a lot more typescript things that wouldn't be covered by the proposal besides enums (class/fields modifiers, function overloading, declare keyword, namespaces). Meaning the proposal would only re

There are some proposals for browsers to do type-stripping, removing/ignoring type-annotations so typescript (and flow) don't need transpilation anymore (except for enums I guess). NodeJS already started doing that in the latest v

It is easier to just completely disable all notifications for everything and manually enable as needed. The only notifications I have on are direct messages on whatsapp (no group messages) and slack during work hours +-30min only.

I imagine compression of JSON also adds significant overhead compared to ProtoBuf on top of extra memory usage. I don't disagree that people go for ProtoBuf a bit too eagerly though.

I imagine how cost of living/inflation is calculated became a lot more complex in the past few years which skews the comparison. Especially because of cost of buying homes and cost of renting and greater disparity between rural and urb

Yes it is a pain in the ass, but just for other people who read this, the bug was in the self-update code for the service worker. If you mess up the cache configuration it can make the service worker never look for an updated version of its

Web apps can do that too with service workers, it is just a bit of a pain in the ass.

Printers seem to be a solved problem and they mostly use zeroconf which uses mDNS (multicast DNS). I have done a bit of work in the area and I didn't run into the problems you mentioned. However I had very semi-strict control of my net

It exchanges it for code-generation pain. Which one is worse is on a case-by-case basis. I imagine that people who prefer code-generation just like the idea of it having a higher skill/investment floor to add it to a project so most pr

I actually did a project doing clustering like that around 2018 using react native, we quickly realized we had to drop down to native for the maps. It was a huge pain in the ass because of the vastly different implementations of google&#x2F

Yeah exactly, it is kinda insane how deep open source tech stacks have gone. We need a world where we can seamlessly synchronously (no IPC, no network) call a function from a 3rd party and be sure it doesn't make any network requests,

Sandboxing alone is a very important reason. Sandboxing 3rd party code inside existing applications for example. Like plugins for Photoshop-like applications or game mods. Portability is also a big plus for this kind of thing too.

Fair, I was mentally comparing to Go. I was a bit disappointed there wasn't more wrappers around basic OS stuff. Go stdlib wraps everything and does its best to make stuff cross-platform. In my specific case I was trying to send some D

This is a problem with WASM as well, use a certain innocent function from the C++ std lib and suddenly your WASM binary grows by 10mb.

The main problem with high temperatures in cold countries is that most homes have a lot of insulation which keeps the heat accumulated during the day trapped in the home well into the night. In warmer countries that heat usually dissipates

It is like that in Western Europe as well, "if you live outside a city" you need a car. However small cities don't have the massive gridlocks that big cities have so they can support a car-centric life. And sure taking a trai
