I'm an existing typescript user but I just can't see a reason to use Deno. Depending on the NPM repository CDN is less worrisome than depending n different CDNs. Including all my dependencies unilaterally (aka deps.ts) seems like

I'd trade a coffee addiction for my Coca-Cola addiction in a heartbeat. I tried coffee again the other week and almost vomited after the first sip. What I did learn is that there are just some things I just don't like, despite my

I've often remarked at how common it is to hear two people talking about completely different things using the same words, thinking they're both understanding each other. Communication could be something that we think we're b

I know this is extremely narrow but I think there's something in it: the way he says "I'm over the mountains and I have a [fricking] engine out" sets off my Spidey sense. This appears to justify the need to jump before p

I've always thought that a job worth doing was a job worth doing well. It's put me through a lot of pain and stress because almost no-one else feels the same way. I'm coming to terms with the realisation that for most people,

I'm working with a team that's in the process of decomissioning a previous teams attempt at ES. Even the new team wanted to do ES, whilst staring at the remains of the previous attempt. Luckily they haven't. Usually arguments

I agree. I hear a lot made of Deno's "security" but process flags don't really make me feel much more secure when I've had to enable most of them anyway. At that point they just start getting in the way and giving m

My wife and I are going to use this. Great idea, considered it myself, thanks for doing it! It would nice to swipe on the descriptions. It would be nice to see ratings from different site(IMDb, rotten tomatoes) It'd be great to employ

It's fun to customise and learn, but going forward I'd rather defer to sensible defaults so that I can spend my thought cycles on solving software problems, rather than fixing all the weirdness that arises from my customisation. I

I suppose it's important to know the context that this colleague suggested their skin colour was darker than she expected. "Wow, what a tan" > "Yeah I just came back from 3 months in Egypt" "Yeah! I was a mo

I've occasionally observed parallels between the 4chan-esque mob and the woke mob. It's the power of peer pressure combined with the apparently human tendancy to encourage others to do things we know are wrong for our own amusemen

Why are there so many HN posts about Robinhood right now? I've seen 3-4 posts in the past 24 hours and it seems like every comment thread I read also mentions Robinhood in some respect. It feels like HN is in the middle of an invasion

It's the organisational equivalent to tech debt. A clear problem, should address it, but probably won't. And will make up some phoney reason to justify it.

A recent client of mine had their WAF configured to block requests with '%' in the URL. Yup. No URL encoding. "Can we remove that?" > "No, it could open up vulnerabilities" Yup. Yes, it could. Silly me.
