"Sarcasm" unfortunately has a negative connotation. It makes it sound like you were being spiteful. In practice, I interpreted the text as "There's a simple solution... but we cannot use it", which is a perfectly fi

Yes, I’m mostly teasing. That said, you can’t guarantee that “yeet” won’t grow on the community though :-)

> yeet is a bikeshed-avoidance name for throw/fail/raise/etc, used because it definitely won't be the final keyword. …and JavaScript will never be used for more than animating basic hypertext documents.

I agree with the premise, but please, anything other than a todo list.

Why?

by __ryan__ 4y ago
While it's easier to use discriminated unions with some "type" field (easier to use switch/case) here's the reality: 1. There's many ways for the compiler to narrow a union type [0] 2. There's a better sol

I assume you’re joking, but just in case: in-school deferment only automatically applies to federal loans. For private loans, you have to apply and they can reject you or put a cap on the deferment duration. For federal loans, your eligibil

I have had mixed results with lists. When there’s an obvious priority for each task, i.e. I can just complete the tasks in order, I am a machine. When I need to prioritize and order the tasks, I end up paralyzed and crash hard. Do you have

This article takes serious mental gymnastics to follow. The main argument seems to be that an engineer with a working mental model for basic promise chaining will be unable to translate that to async/await, which is effectively syntax

I first discovered Haxe nearly a decade ago when seeking alternatives to Microsoft XNA. It was extremely influential in my learning programming. Lots of half-finished games and projects. Haxe is dear to my heart, but I haven’t touched it in

Look “good”? Come on. If not having the Pickle Rick decal for your car makes you play worse it has nothing to do with looking “good”. Perhaps look “like I own this exclusive cosmetic”, which applies to offline as well, don’t you think? The

Yeah, you can count on old.reddit.com sticking around. What are they going to do, deprecate it in favor of some new dark-pattern-filled UI?

That definitely makes sense. In my (limited, especially not C#) experience I just really dislike reasoning about trimming the leading whitespace, even if the rules are simple. I yearn for a consistent visual cue. In my syntax, the IDE would

Oh yeah, I was just sharing my string literal syntax that's been baking in my head for while for the sake of discussing. But off the top of my head, mainly just that there's a clear visual indicator of the start of lines of text,

Ah, that's interesting. In general, yes my proposal does benefit from and assume some IDE/tooling support for quality of life. Edit: To be specific, the IDE could handle formatting when pasting into a line beginning with "&qu

I’ve thought about this a lot, but mostly in the context of reducing bandwidth use of mobile devices. Bundling with the browser wouldn’t be enough in my opinion— the ecosystem moves too fast and you’d risk bundling outdated code. Instead, c
