So: - Without TTD, I can inspect values in the call stack where I set a breakpoint - With TTD, I can inspect values in my whole program, and can jump back/forward in time to see how those values changed Is that right?

I see. So for example, with a regular debugger you can see what the value of a function's argument was at a point in the current call stack; with TTD you can see what that argument was in previous call stacks too, and jump to those oth

Could someone help explain how this is different from a regular debugger that lets you step back in the call stack? Does Chrome dev tools debugger (that lets you step back in the call stack, even for asynchronous calls) come close to TTD?

What sort of products did you work on? I often find that even with TypeScript I end up having to type a few libraries myself.

Not to mention TypeScript has 10x the number of community typings as flow. See slide here: https://bcherny.github.io/Talks/why-typescript/#31

I see, and the benefit there is faster startup due to less IIFEs?

Thanks for the hard work! This release looks really exciting and I can't wait to try it out. Out of curiosity, did you switch to Rollup for the tree shaking optimizer, or for some other reason?

I went through a similar process and chose TS > Flow. - Renaming to .ts and .tsx is nicer than adding comments, because it integrates better with tooling (compile all files that end with .ts) and it's easier to see at a glance what&

Google, FB, Youtube, Wikipedia, and HN :) use HTTP2. I also use HTTP2 at work, and on every personal project. It's supported by every browser [1], and comes with a slew of benefits. It's usually trivial to set up, if you want to g

2 reasons: 1. If you're still using HTTP 1.x, sharding assets across origins lets the browser load them in parallel (if set up correctly). You can generally load just 6 assets in parallel per origin, and sharding is a way to get around

A few questions: 1. How does render time compare to the same thing without the AOT compiler? 2. How does render time compare to React or Inferno? 3. Are Glimmer templates type safe, or are they plain old strings? 4. How do I consume compile

Could you elaborate? I was under the impression that SoundCloud is one of the few platforms that treats musicians well, and lets fans discover really small bands/djs.

You and @utexaspunk may be talking about different things. I believe @utexaspunk is saying that salary should be tied to the amount of social good you do. You are saying that the market sets salaries based on how much value you create, as m

Your critique is about JavaScript, not about TypeScript. Your argument is that TS blindly trusts 3rd party typings, but Kotlin has the same exact issue! In fact the Kotlin docs say to use TypeScript typings, or "dynamic" (read: un

I see. You might pass a combinator into a catamorphism, but the morphism itself isn't a combinator?

I agree with that (you're talking about Piketty's direct redistribution), but there is a tinge of "tax the other guy more because he's making more than me and it's not fair and I'll never be in his bracket anyw

IIRC, Ng explicitly mentioned that he taught the course in a few languages over the years (Python, Matlab, R, Octave), and he got the best results with Octave because of how simple the language is and how much is built in.

I read through the thread, and the proposal sounds crazy to me. 1. Members marked private being accessible from other instances of the same class [1] is counter to every other OO language I have used. What is the prior art here? Why depart

Both public and private have access to prop data. Public has more data, since the companies they're covering are bigger and so produce more data.

Quantitative traders have trouble teasing signals out of data. And there is so much data in the public markets: stock prices, volume, interest (and the rest of Bloomberg data), Twitter sentiment, satellite data. The private markets have so
