While this is all technically true, I don't think it's all that helpful a thought process to have when approaching Svelte. Yes, Svelte files are syntactically valid HTML, Javascript, etc, but they have very different semantics. Ta

I find that's often because classes come with a lot of stuff that is less desirable - mainly inheritance and its assorted complexities. The other side is that classes aren't the only way to get this sort of encapsulation. The clas

Except both Javascript and Python - along with a bunch of other dynamic languages such as Ruby and Elixir - are adopting gradual typing into the ecosystem. In both Javascript and Python, most of the major libraries and frameworks are either

As I understand it, even for a jit compiler, the type annotations are typically less useful than runtime behaviour. For example, at runtime, a type might typically be narrower than the compile time declaration. Also, with most gradually typ

I'm not sure the backend world moves all that more slowly, it's just if you're in it, you know which new parts to accept, and which to ignore. To take Python as an example, my impression as a newcomer is that Flask is pretty

Fwiw, I think a lot of that is familiarity. I'm trying to create a Python backend right now, and it's something I've done before, but still every time it feels like a pain - what are the best practices for dependencies now an

I think you're misreading that - the poster used to use webpack via create-react-app, and now they typically use Vite. And while yes, Vite does wrap other tools, it does so fairly opaquely - you shouldn't need to dive into the det

Is it? Prettier isn't so much a linter as a formatter, and I think most language ecosystems separate out formatting from linting - e.g. Rust's Clippy vs rust-fmt.

I mean, it sounds like you're just trying to create complicated applications. That's not a bad thing, my day job is also about trying to build complicated applications, so I also install a very similar set of tools. But that'

I mean, you can do good work with Visual Basic and an overworked Excel spreadsheet, but it will probably be worth your while to find some alternatives. Just because something works, doesn't mean we can't improve it, and just becau

One can review teachers much like one reviews any other profession. You review their CV, invite them to an interview, see if they know their stuff, put them in front of classrooms, check their references, etc. We don't need the NSA to

But that's what a welfare state is for, isn't it? To act as a kind of collective insurance, paid into by everyone, that mitigates these sorts of disasters. You've just lost your job? Here is some money for the time being to t

In fairness, most proponents of inheritance tax see it as solving the problem of wealth pooling in certain places and not continuing to be redistributed. You cannot claim to have a fair, meritocratic, and egalitarian society if there is a c

Maybe, but Vue also has SFCs, and I've never once had issues with syntax highlighting or code formatting there.

I mean, that sounds like a data point of two now to me - you're also saying that Typescript and Svelte don't play that nice together if the plug-in breaks "all the time" and you need to be careful how you write code just

It's two arguments. Firstly, you've made the assertion that someone whose own life of at risk based their decisions is more likely to make safe decisions. As you say, it's an intuitive assumption to make, but reality tends to

by MrJohz 3y ago
I don't doubt you would have more confidence, but human estimations of risk tend to be very poor. So it would still be useful to see whether that sort of belief holds true: that is, whether people who "have skin in the game"

I think the difference can be useful in terms of addressing different software/DX needs. For example, scripts and programs tend to have very different maintenance, dependency management, packaging, publishing, etc needs. You see this a

But again, that's so broad as to be meaningless. What does pointless mean? No value to myself? No value to the company? No value to society? Something else entirely? It's basically just measuring job satisfaction.

Kind of the other way round. If you have code that has a function named `dispose`, it will keep on working just fine, nothing needs to be renamed (not now, and not in the future when you want to start using `using`). The symbol `Symbol.disp

I'm sorry, I think you've misunderstood the point of the Eszett spelling reform. The goal was to somewhat codify the idea that a single consonant (e.g. the "l" at the end of "Tal") implies that the previous vow
