From the imported projects graph, looks like there was a spike, then it settled back to normal.

The newly official Context API might change things here, since it will be much easier to pass state down to grandchildren. I’ve not been keeping up to date with the plans for what react-redux will do with the new API yet, could be interesti

Yes, I have to agree about `instanceof` and friends being tricky. Often they seem to come up as a quick fix for some larger architectural problem, resulting in long-term debt. The idea of inferring the set of possible implementations of a f

Random idea: replace the terminology of "duplicate" questions with "similar" questions. Add a mechanism where, if an answer could apply to two very similar questions, show the answer in both places. Rather than closing a

Well, the article is suggesting to put the major version number in the name, so that “change the name” and “bump the major version number” are equivelant actions, which is a little more subtle than just a plain rename.

The goto fail snippet doesn't conform to the "one logical statement per line" guideline in the article though, so the author would advise against this style too.

Yea, support isn't first class. When I was learning to use union types in TypeScript, initially I wrote custom type guards to distinguish them, using any property that was unique to a particular constituent type to differentiate them.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, my mistake. If that hasn't been answered elsewhere, then the important part is that the hash code for a particular object is always constant, every call to getHashCode for that object returns the same

Classic RPC functions would never be async, since the idea behind RPC is to replace a sync local function with a sync remote function, without having to make any changes to the calling code. "Async RPC" is a more recent idea, but
