What you're claiming here does not match the evidence from your links. For example, in your second link, one of the functions expects a 'complex' instance DispatchProps which has a method toggleOn... This abstraction doesn&#x

I share this point of view. For the last few years, this perfectly reasonable and balanced viewpoint was taboo so it's good to see more and more people approaching the debate rationally as opposed to waging a religious war over gut fee

That is ingenious! That would get me excited about TypeScript! Dynamic typing, no cumbersome transpilation step, no source mapping, 100% backward compatibility with JavaScript. That would be a dream come true. We need a way to go back to JS

This is the feature of TypeScript that I'm most looking forward to. Default all variable and constant declarations to type 'any' so that TypeScript can look identical to JavaScript. Then we can remove the transpile step from

The government does have control over this. They could easily introduce a law which forbids platforms from censoring any legal content. They choose not to do this.

Yes I think Facebook allowed the Fauci threats as PR to make themselves look neutral. Mark Zuckerberg and his employees have been playing good cop bad cop with us since the beginning to make the public perceive Facebook as a neutral bystand

I think the fact that politics can't be discussed here is itself a form of censorship. Because people are not able to freely exchange ideas about politics, you end up with silos. The main reason why the subject of politics causes flame

In tech and finance industry today, tribalism is everything. All success is because of tribalism, all failure is because of lack of tribalism.

I think it would be an amazing currency. - Good alternative to Universal Basic Income since people can produce it themselves directly. - The unsanitary aspect of it will help prevent too large accumulation of it. People will have a stronger

This is yet one more attempt to distort the original meaning of the law by drawing attention to specific words that are immaterial to the original intent of the law. The states are in fact printing money which is not gold or silver no matte

The constitution is BS anyway. For example, Article I, section 10 says "No state shall...coin money, emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver a tender in payment of debts..." And look what the US has today; fiat mo

But the back testing is useless because you can just have a lot of models and cherry pick all those models which happen to match historical data. Then each year some of those models are proven wrong and the attention shifts towards models w

You're right I'm probably mentally ill by now. I was perfectly healthy 5 years ago though. I assure you, it's a lot more traumatic to actually experience the effects that I've just described over and over during 5 years

By hoarding all the capital for their toy project, they're depriving other more worthy projects of that capital. This misallocation of capital is WAY, WAY more harmful than "shitting on other people's work" using mere wo

It's a symptom of modern supply-side economics. It's all about job creation. The people who are working on this project are the only ones getting anything out of it. It's CaaS 'Career as a Service'. The people who w

I don't know about others but I certainly value my own freedom so I'm not going to live in any country which doesn't have it. I'm glad I visited the US last year because I have a feeling I'm never going back there.

Of course it's a scam. "You will own nothing and be happy". That is BS of the highest order. There will always be someone who owns and controls everything. It's just not going to be you. You will own nothing, you will be

Corporations seem to be desperately trying to create more jobs at the moment. TypeScript, by being less efficient and adding complexity, allows massive job creation to take place. Nothing to do with bugs, efficiency, etc... It's all ab

I used TS for several years and also don't like it. Nothing wrong with the language itself but the transpilation step adds significant complexity and is very slow so it breaks my train of thought and slows down my development iteration

What I've found is that senior developers with 10+ years of experience with many different paradigms and projects tend to enjoy JavaScript and many hate TypeScript (particularly because of the build step and complexity that it brings).
