Thank you! It's amazing to see so much work going into tools like this :) I am a huge fan of AST and AST based tools. I think there is so much to explore in this space.

I've been tinkering with an AST based grep tool. (It only works for JS/TS right now). It allows you to search for code in a more free-form way and I hope better code-searching tools like this can come out. Because searching by str

I made a small utility to help me search for JS code better. It's called @nikhilverma/ast-grep. It works really well for my use case but I hope to polish it more and release it more widely. npx @nikhilverma/ast-grep '{ m

Very much appreciate boilerplate tools, they often come with sane defaults and avoid configuration hell when you just want to get started. I just wish there was some easy way to version them, so you can migrate from an older boilerplate to

I doubt that they started off with a 40 mins delay. It probably crept slowly as the repo got bigger and no one noticed it because of the gentle gradient. And they didn't have the time/resources to look into it.

It's surprising how little code [1] is needed to do this. On the other hand I feel this is quite dependent on the specific camera models and might not work on the RAW data downloaded from my phone. Happy to be corrected. [1] - https:&

I am personally not sure about the impact of this. I am hoping it will bring some positive change, Indians do have a habit of hoarding huge amounts of cash. It's not something specific to "black money hoarders". Anyway I pity

There is this ancient Indian story about Krishna washing the feet of his devotee and then drinking the water. So this thing is not alien to the Indian culture. But I'll not be surprised if this still happens in some rural parts of Indi

It's very strange to me, any one of the cons from 3-6 will make me avoid a framework. Do you think the pros of the framework outweigh these serious cons?

IMO a much better approach is JSCodeShift, which works based on the AST: https://github.com/facebook/jscodeshift

At Badoo we use them to have a unified API for all of our platforms (Web, Mobile Web, Android, iOS, Windows Phone etc). This would not have been possible without something like ProtoBuf.

I think it's an unfortunate situation resulting from the need to be realistic about releases. If something can be released now for > 90% of the users then companies will prioritise doing that and then releasing the remaining 10% l

Just wondering, have you tried a VR headset of this generation? I feel a lot of people discount VR simply because they don't realise the possibilities.

This is a really interesting project! One of my issues with React has been the script size, and this one even seems quicker to boot. Obviously it doesn't have certain things like React does but it's a perfect library for mobile us

That's a silly argument to make. It's just not easy to setup a donation system as easily, if sites I visit had an option for easy microtransactions many people would do it in a heartbeat.

I don't have the same situation as you but generally when I am faced with a situation like this I often end up doing two high focus things one after another. So when your query is running for 5 mins you can switch to something of a sim
