I don't understand why people run Linux on a Chromebook. The point of a Chromebook is ChromeOS. If you're running Linux it's just another Linux computer. I develop on a Chromebook some times. I use a DigitalOcean VPS, using t

Some context, he's essentially been maintaining a web browser (which is a project on the level of an operating system) on his own. Phantom 2 switched to QTWebKit which I'm sure was a tremendous amount of work. Probably at the end

You're describing a property of their compilers as evidence that one is a superset and one is not. That TS transforms your code doesn't make it not a superset. It would not be a superset if it didn't support some JS feature.

by Touche 10y ago
They are both supersets. If you remove the non-JS features you have valid JS. But of course without removing it you have invalid JS. That's why both require tools. Sidenote that Flow does allow specifying types through comments but thi

Well, Slack is an example of an Electron app that is sold.

The comment I was responding to was: > Yeah, but until Electron and they like, we seldom shipped desktop apps in anything than C, C++, Delphi etc even after all those decades. So things aren't any different than before. We've j

Making desktop apps might be a nice lifestyle business for niche segments, but there aren't many (any?) big businesses built on desktop apps any more. Microsoft and Adobe are doing well on the desktop, churning out new versions of apps

C# has been the default way to write Windows apps since the early 2000s. It is no more "closer to the metal" than JavaScript.

No, I don't care about most of those things. I don't know why you didn't believe me when I wrote it the first time :). "Caret behavior", I use a Mac 8 hours a day and I have no idea what option-arrow does. That cli

I guess if we had foresight we could have prevented the industrial revolution which would had (likely) prevented climate change. Of course, the industrial revolution was a force of economic pressure, not a decision the world came together a

I think you're looking at the world's history with rose-colored glasses. World poverty is at the lowest levels today than it has been in recorded history: https://ourworldindata.org/slides/world-poverty/

If you believe that then we are doomed. Luckily I think you are wrong. There is a lot of money to be made on sustainable technology. Wind power, for example, is booming.

You should go read some history on pre-industrial revolution living standards and come back and tell us you prefer that.

Yes, but if the success handler throws you won't catch it. For example: promise.then(function(){ throw new Error('Oh no, not caught'); }, function(err){ }); But this will catch it: promise.then(function(){

No, that's not what I (and presumably you and others here) do. We are nerds. We like talking about things that make us think. But yes, for the majority of people, talking about themselves is exactly what they do . They talk about thei

Why does it need to generate code at all? Why can't it parse the template, create DOM nodes, listen to the "home" binding and do textNode.nodeValue = newVal whenever it changes. What does the bytecode VM provide?

Sorry, I missed that somehow. I don't recall DSL being around in 1998 (but I'm sure my memory is just wrong). I got on the web around 1994 and it felt like many years before we had DSL or cable internet. Anyways, I do agree that t

I agree with this article but this happens for a reason; it works. Those full page ads that you hate? Some % of people actually click on them. Now, with proper competition this could be fixed. Sites using full-page ads would lose out to a c

I don't disagree that the old web was aesthetically nicer, but nothing flew on 14.4 or 28k modems. I remember when 56k came out and everyone was like "WOW!".

You can always make it fancy later. Having shipped a project and seeing people using it is very rewarding.
