The plus is Apple hardware has low depreciation so it might worth getting the M1 if you're a dev and appreciate rapid compile times. My webpack build times are less than half the 7700HQ that I was using which makes me way more producti

I'm a huge AMD fan. Been waiting all year for my dream Ryzen laptop but just given in to a MacBook Air M1. I have no regrets, but this gives me hope that a true Ryzen ultrabook might exist next year, now that the industry have to take

How about, as a compromise, quality over quantity. Most of trash of Netflix only last one or two seasons anyway and is then forgotten about. Stop making terrible sci-fi like Another Life and invest in quality shows like The Expanse which ar

Dude this is actually awesome. Do you have a "buy me a beer" link so we can help out with hosting costs? Seriously you should make this the "Wikipedia" of social media. No ads ever and people will use it. By the way, jus

Fortunately this is also true with many devices, but knowing which ones allow this before buying is the problem. Most shops won't advertise the chipset. This is also beyond the abilities of 99% of the population.

I've learned my lesson and no longer buy WiFi connected "smart" devices, unless I can flash them with custom firmwares. ZigBee isn't without its flaws too but at least I can guarantee that the device doesn't require

Ah yes. I looked at this a while ago. I liked it but then ran into a brick wall with a lack of support for an equivalent to async/await syntax. It has wrappers for JS promises but they are clunky and awkward, unless someone wants to en

I get what you're saying however even at the machine code level there is a difference between an i32 and an i64. Also the "sizeof" of a struct is important too when calculating how far to stride with regard to memory addresse

Did not know about these. I wrote my own a while back because I couldn't find an example of this being done (fully type safe validation). https://github.com/cjdell/type-safe-validator

Lots of new toys to play with in this release! They've also explained each new feature really well...

I'm glad you asked. :-) For a start, number types. I want i32, i64, u32 etc. JavaScript (and therefore TypeScript) only has "number". Yes we now finally have BigInt but it's not ideal for JIT optimisation. Object prototy

TypeScript is becoming such a compelling language due to its insanely advanced type system (that allows for projects like this) that I now want to use it everywhere. I want it to become the next Python. I know Deno is supposed to be first c

I had no idea you could compose string literal types AND infer variables using interpolation syntax in the context of conditional types. I am salivating at the potential use cases for this...

I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered Teams would run on my Ubuntu-based OS (Pop!_OS). Not my first choice though.

However, scheme relative URLs (i.e. //example.com/thing.jpg) are useful in edge cases where you want to request assets using the same protocol as the document, are they not?

That may be true of some people. I don't think I've become complacent. It's impossible to tell what would have happened if the car hadn't helped in those situations. The car does have advantages over humans, like for exa

Only 1 accident that was my fault (I was young and stupid). Been driving for 17 years and have had near misses before. I don't know for sure if I would have crashed if it wasn't for Auto Pilot, but it's nice to know that it&#

I have owned a Tesla Model 3 in the UK for almost a year now. The Auto Pilot is only useful on dual carriageways and straight roads and still very frequently suffers from "phantom braking". It should be obvious to any half decent

Another way would be to upload your site to your local IPFS node. Your files will be automatically cached by other IPFS nodes as people discover your site providing free load balancing and redundancy. Your site will still be viewable even a

I built something like this a few months ago but struggled to explain to almost everyone except die hard TypeScript fans what the big deal was. I explained it was all about the type inference from the schema so I could make guarantees acros

I wonder if SpaceX's StarLink (if it ever gets finished) will continue to function independently in the event of global disaster. Having equipment around that can communicate with that sounds like a good idea.

I tried really hard to use ReasonML about a year ago but ran into a road block with the lack of async/wait (or equivalent) syntax. It's really cumbersome to have to go back to chaining callbacks again.

I fell out with a lot of the popular ORMs and decided to create a very lightweight query library with the features I really wanted, namely an ENTIRELY statically typed query interface. Link to fully working sample: https://github

I really like the look of this. I have often wondered how one might approach implementing self organising networks for use within isolated communities or the 3rd world. There are still many places where there is either no internet access at

As well intentioned as this may be, I get the feeling this might be the first step to a world like the one depicted in the movie "Surrogates".

When I was running kids workshops I created this site so kids could write scripts (accessible by pressing ESC) to manipulate a Minecraft-style and using it they could even build their own games: http://webblocks.uk/

Wonder if this can be used to do video upscaling on steroids. Would love to watch classic TV shows in glorious 4K resolution.

I still regularly fall for this trap. My instinct to "DRY" is so ingrained into me that I always find myself deduping similar looking blocks of code. I think this culture is a knee jerk reaction to dealing with code bases on the o

Could/should one use this to build a touch screen user interface for an RPi as part of a kiosk based application? I really like Go, and suspect a Go app would beat the pants off anything powered by Electron (performance wise).
