I feel like the author gets close to the point but fails to drive it home: step-through debugging is unbelievably cumbersome. During a typical step-through debugging session, 90% of the time is spent on lines you are completely not intere

My first reaction was that "this sucks, who would want to use some non-established DSL over universally understood JavaScript". But thinking about it more, this is just like functional CSS libraries (e.g. Tailwind CSS) that allow

Text-based interface with fuzzy contextual autocomplete is the best of both worlds. Think of an IDE's autocomplete popups, but for terminal commands. Or how the Command Palette in means I almost never have to memorise where some obscur

The website is completely blank white for my samsung s7 android edge browser (but works fine on android chrome). If this was written using your framework, there's probably a bug that's causing it not to render.

It depends on the context. My guess as to why bytes.Buffer doesn't perform the nil check is to not shield developers away from the fact that they can't do very much with a nil pointer Buffer: there's no backing allocation and

You should have been checking if the `c` pointer receiver in compress() was nil before dereferencing it though. That way even if you wrongly assumed that checking for interface nil was equivalent to checking for the underlying type's

I've never encountered any autofill instance where the effects of autofill wasn't immediately apparent (usually it's just the username and password). Having a special hidden fields in your form seems like a Bad Idea, but what

While I wholeheartedly agree with the author, I feel like it's a bit pointless because it feels like the politically correct wave has already won. Just keep thinking what you want, don't cancel me. This is not a hill I want to die

Shame, it looks like the Sheet Bend is advertised on the front page as one of the "Basic Knots" to start with but I think the Zeppelin Bend[0] is far superior and just as easy to grok. It is more secure than a Sheet Bend and yet p

I've been finding plain JavaScript as a very nice alternative to the many config file formats out there. It already has the trailing commas + comments bells and whistles, plus the ability to do computation to generate repetitive elemen

Yes, visual diagrams and shapes are sometimes more efficient. But the main point is that text is the lowest (and cheapest) form of encoding that is still human readable/writeable. Text is always there even when other data formats are n

What? Adding dairy and sugar will offset the effects? Then the effects can't have been very significant to begin with. What if you drank black coffee, but also consumed sugar and dairy separately?

I feel like the author makes a good point, but it does not solve the original problem he was describing. The only reason why those websites disappeared is because the owner was no longer interested in maintaining it. It's a human facto

If you are going to allocate sharded databases per client with identical schemas, might as well give each of them an sqlite database? Since you're massively cutting down the writes if it's one database per customer.

That is good to know, Chinese games have a bad rap for being microtransaction heavy/P2W and I had assumed that Tencent would push the games under its wing to follow the same direction.

In my experience `map` and `filter` are easy to grok for even for people unexperienced with FP, but `reduce` is always a headache to parse even if you know how to read it. A loop that accumulates some result is almost always better.

It's as much hidden behaviour as destructors being called magically on an object that goes out of scope. In practice it doesn't hinder understandability as much as you think.

The author assumes that the reader has some familiarity with the term SEO. Even if they did not describe it well enough, it is not out of malice. If the reader does know what SEO is then the author is stating their point very clearly, unlik

Could you elaborate on why it is such a great achievement? Seems like a pretty natural consequence of their growing economy.
