Oh that’s very clever. Makes me wish javascript/Typescript had macros so I could define this all in a single call.

That's very cool, thank you so much.

That's what we had to do. We now define our "enums" as a `const` object: `export const Example = { First: "first", Second: "second", ... } as const;` and then define the type immediately following: `export

This is a significant improvement on Typescript’s enums but I wonder what the underlying code it compiles to is. Because we’re planning on moving our codebase to ESM support (the community is moving over quickly), we’ve run into a number of

I love the phrase “comparing apples to oranges” because while I know the intended meaning, the literal meaning is the opposite: they’re both sweet fruits that are common in western society, they’re sliced and juiced and used in a variety of

Do you have anything of substance to add or is this just an opportunity to insult communities you don’t like?

I was dissatisfied with the available fixture/test data generation tooling for Obection.js and Knex, so I ported factory_bot from Ruby to Typescript. I’ve called it Fixture Riveter [0]. It’s more verbose than the other similar tools (f

Protocols being tightly bound to their implementation in Java is a real bummer. Makes using them much more difficult and brittle than an equivalent CLOS-style system.

Do you have a link to the podcast?

What kind of dialogue are you looking to foster with comments like this? Seems to me, this is deliberately provocative and sensational to spark outrage.

This is a pretty short comment. Which part do you find ridiculous?

I wouldn’t be so sure. I tried to add a page for a newly released album by a band that has a sizable Wikipedia page, and within an hour it had been deleted and all of the associated link changes to update footers/etc had been reverted

This is a lot of fun! Why the use of Python 2?

I like how you’ve added “at random cops” as if to delegitimize any reaction against an oppressive state. I think what’s more likely is that instead of just filming police brutality, people will start shooting police officers who are caught

People first have to believe that the cause (retribution, resistance, revolution, whatever you want to call it) is worth dying for, because the system (the cops, the media, the milquetoast white public) considers cop death to be the single

If it was reasonable, it would encoded into the law. It is not for the police to create new laws on the spot, and even if it were, the use of force to enforce it is not reasonable.

The issue with that is the lack of lexical scope. Lambdas have lexical scoping, def functions do not. To “fake” lexical scope, you have to use the nonlocal or global statements, which are gross and self-defeating.

Languages change. Arguing definitions doesn’t contribute to the conversation, it only makes you look pedantic.

This sounds like most careers, though. Except for the sensational language, how is this different than agism in the software industry, or folks who never become managers? In my (limited) experience, most people don’t climb the ranks or get

This looks great. I read and learn best from paper. Do you have any plans for releasing physical copies? Maybe through Lulu?

Virtually no one uses Emacs because 1) Lisps are out of favor (excepting Clojure, which has excellent support with Calva), 2) the out of the box experience is bad and customization is not simple at all, and imo 3) chording as the primary me

Agreed. Apollo is slick but Narwhal continues to be the smoothest commenting (reading and writing) experience.

Laughable to compare the obsessive curation of music on what.cd with any of those platforms, not to mention the fidelity and the vast range, far exceeding what’s available on the other platforms.
