Trying to figure out what Epic's incentives are here (contributing to a competitor that doesn't make them money in any roundabout way I can see) Edit: Here's a weird theory, maybe Epic doesn't see Godot as a competitor t

But this is not a fundamentally new threat. A bad actor today could compromise any of these and impersonate the person they took it from.

That's a key part of it, yes. The fact that basic pillars of life are tied to full-time employment means that people who aren't full-time employees aren't fully-benefitting members of society. And because these things cost th

I don't think it's crazy to see gig workers as contractors, I do think it's crazy how businesses have been able to abuse contractor/part-time classifications to dodge a bunch of labor-rights requirements. That's the

Right, but that's what I'm saying. You don't need any of that; the only thing you need to verify out-of-channel (i.e. in-person) is that "a real human exists and they've told me that x@y.com is their email address&q

Yeah. I can see web-of-trust mechanisms similar to the ones Google uses to try and determine quality sites, or how Facebook used to be for friends, friends-of-friends, etc. There's some territory to explore here. But for the core, IRL

Jokes/nostalgia aside, you don't really even need fancy encryption mechanisms. All that's important is that you only use the internet to interact with trusted parties, vs treating it as a public square where you can ~generall

I don't think it's productive to throw out enotionally-charged words like "fanatical" and "infantalize" in these conversations. There are many valid complaints to make about React hooks, but I'm not really

Exciting! It's weird to see this: > commentary in the PR about this new mode being "definitely not suitable for Deno" I wonder what they meant by that. I mean, this doesn't magically make all TS code Deno-compatible,

We picked Flow because we were using React, and Flow was from Facebook, so we assumed the support/integration would be tighter than with TypeScript. It also had some appealing goals like stronger soundness, and a greater emphasis on ty

I made the same mistake, though our transition to TypeScript was actually very smooth. We just set up Babel to handle both, then converted one file at a time. Flow files functionally became untyped JS files until they were converted. And th

It's easy to miss, but I'm most excited for "--moduleResolution bundler" ( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescr... ) My understanding is it should allow you to finally have Typ

Technically traits are polymorphism (and you could argue Rust's enums are too), they just look differently than in classically object-oriented languages What Rust really skips is inheritance (although you can get partway there with t

It'll tell you, yes, but you'll still have to make non-automatable changes in a whole lot of different places in many situations. In situations where other languages might not require any changes at all

This helped congeal a thing I've been thinking about in my Rust usage for a long time, but didn't know how to express: > In Rust, this distinction in register can look like this: > - Will I use references and borrowing, or
