Instead of pleading to the TypeScript gods, why not make a deal with the JavaScript deities? Let's get type-checking into JS! If I want runtime types, I reach for type guards. If I need to do this a lot, then I reach for io-ts or zod a

As an RV-driver, I try my best to use the pull outs when I can. There are a few complications, though. First is the visibility of these pull-outs is often very poor. You'll be driving through long winding roads and then all of the sudd

I think it's less about the game mechanics and more about the viscerality. Board game players tend to prefer physical representations they can feel and fiddle with.

I've been building this product for a while. Even though there aren't any loading indicators, I think it's still good enough to get out there! I've used this project as a test bed for learning new technologies. And what

As someone who has also been using TypeScript for over a year and JavaScript for over 10 years, I've had a different take on it. Disclaimer, I freaking love JavaScript and TypeScript. > TypeScript is a hack of epic proportions and e

The compiler can most definitely type-check that code. It's up to you whether or not you want to ignore certain types errors. Want to ignore monkey-patching related errors? Filter out all lines from tsc that include TS2339.

Names are hard. My name is John. Programmers get really confused when I tell them that. "Did you know there's another programmer named John? You probably should have researched names before you decided to go with that one"

Seems like Habitat (which looks awesome by the way) relies on Docker. Which, if you consider performance heuristics in the article (size, cold/hot start time), may be a non-starter for what they're trying to do.

Very nice job! I'll definitely be trying this out in a personal project. How's your experience been with TypeScript and oao? I've got a very large monorepo (using yarn workspaces) of TypeScript modules and it's been sort

That seems right. Should probably be longer. Each second, a new chunk is emitted with the appropriate html to hide the old clock element and show the new.
