Contrary to the impression I seem to have given you, I'm actually super excited about Deno and am planning to write my next MVP app in it. That means that I am actually a lot more vested into it, and if I want to put it in production,

Which again brings me back to something I'm still not understanding - How is Deno's package management better than NPM if it is extremely similar to NPM, but slightly less secure? I'm only asking because lots of people seem t

Ah from that perspective I can see how this might appear to be better. Personally, I like the 'magic' of NPM (which to be honest I don't really think is all that magical, it's quite transparent what's happening behi

Except that now, the download deps in CI step can fail if one of hundreds of websites for my hundreds of dependencies goes down. If the main NPM repository goes down, I can switch to a mirror and all of my dependencies will be available aga

See the thing about the sandbox is that it's only going to be effective for very simple programs. If you're building a real world application, especially a server application like in the example, you're probably going to want

Node v14 supports ESM modules and the import syntax, which is standard Javascript.

Which then raises the question - how is it better than NPM? If there are going to be centralized repositories (like NPM), and if I have to download my dependencies into a $DENO_DIR (like NPM), and if I am then loading these dependencies fr

It's not just about the integrity. The url may very well provide what they claim to provide, so checksums would match, but it's the direct downloading and running of remote code that is terrifying. This is pretty much like all the

Ah, in this case, I would then have to commit my dependencies into my VCS to maintain reproducible builds. I'm not sure I like that solution very much either. I've seen node_modules in multiple GBs, and I'm sure Deno's d

The dependency management is highly questionable for me. Apart from the security concerns raised by others, I have huge concerns about availability. In it's current form, I'd never run Deno on production, because dependencies have

> in term of vendoring you can simply download everything yourself and use local paths for imports. So I basically have to do manually, what NPM/yarn do for me already?

I usually have a fixed block of time for working on side projects on weekends. The research phase usually happens through the week, whenever I have the time to think about it. My problem generally is splitting the weekend time across too ma

Have to second this. I used to have so many 'started in excitement, but probably never going to work on it ever again' projects. Then I started an 'Ideas' board on Trello, and forced myself to put ideas there instead of

Wow, I've considered building this exact same app for about 11 years now, but I never did it because I thought there would never be a large enough market to make it successful. Kudos to you for actually building and launching! Hope you

I fail to see how divesting Adsense would work. It's either going to kill off Adsense completely since it would no longer have access to pervasive Google tracking information, or if there's a deal to keep sharing that information,

The way I author my Electron apps to avoid this is to have a HTTP/Websocket server spin up at a random port, and then use that process to open an Electron window, with Node integration disabled. This then becomes exactly the same as wr

Wouldn't this be a win-win-win situation for everyone? The guy with the idea gets it built, the guy in eastern Europe, earns some decent money, and the guy in San Francisco didn't waste his time for chump change.

Ah crap, think this is a bug in the client-side routing, pushing two entries into the history. I think it has to do with the query parameter. Will fix, thanks for letting me know :)

How long do you take to respond to applications? I applied in response to last month's 'Who's Hiring' and haven't heard back since. Should I assume it's a no-go?

Wow, I love the simplicity of this. I generally go with `pg` for my projects, but I'm definitely going to give this a try. As it so happens, I'll be building out a little idea over the holidays, so I'll give more/better

This really doesn't require a heavy jQuery dependency. I also don't know why the font related style changes are necessary. You could rewrite this script to be as simple as: const me = document.querySelector("a#me")

Here in India, the University I attended requires a minimum attendance of 75%, or they won't allow you to sit the end of semester exams. Your attendance even accounts for 5% of the score of your end of semester exams for that course. Q

As a fellow developer in this space, this seems to be a tool that is very difficult to market and/or monetize. Wishing you the best with this project.

As an aside, if any body does want to play Youtube videos in the background on their Android phone, without using the Youtube app, install Firefox for Android and install the Video Background Play Fix extension.
