Yeah, working with exceptions and Promise rejections is very annoying in Typescript as the error type is often any even when you yourself carefully always use Error instances to be able to get a stack trace etc. Theoreticallly at least some

Our experience with BitBucket in the Netherlands has been that it's slow, almost as bad as Jira. I also found the ways things like the PR interface and Markdown support etc to be lackluster with third party support for things like sema

Based on the numbers from dating apps (only the top most attractive men being shown to and dated by women) it seems likely that it's women mostly having relations with those few men. And supposedly those men having simultaneous or just

I was happy when Promise became available, but in retrospect I'd wish we would have skipped ahead and gotten Observable (e.g: https://rxjs.dev/ ) instead to enable more powerful functionality and composition etc. In Typ

Getting sandwiches from the FOSDEM crew or snacks outside was never a problem for me during my visits back in the day. Just took like half an hour or so and could nicely be combined with a kriek. Has it gotten much more crowded or something

I like using Typescript in general, but sometimes it becomes painfully obvious that it's Javascript with type checking added to it at a later time. So I actually kind of which there was a language I could use instead which is typed fro

Reminds me of some of the ideas from the book Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. I can recommend it if you're interested.

I wish there was just a standard protocol for making movies and music available on the global market and then a pay per view based payment system. Cut most of the middle men and maximize availability across the world (instead of just/f

Just compare the wages of the people that work on the goods you consume with your local wages? And look at the lack of regulation in the areas where they work and the resulting pollution etc. It's obviously not fair that someone from a

We got much more out of it than China at first; basically thanks to a modern version of slave labor. We were just short sighted to think that would work forever and for some reason that doesn't really seem to be changing as we just dig

As a city (Amsterdam) bike rider I still shy away from needlessly expensive or complicated technology like hydraulic disc brakes. But internal routing is very much worth the complexity here where cables get caught up in other people's

From what I understand for some reason the US embargo also affects us in the Netherlands to the effect of blocking money transfers from Dutch to Cuban bank accounts. I think the US is bullying these banks into joining them somehow. It'

I don't understand why people don't base their apps and frameworks off of standard browser and JS supported techniques like custom elements and template literals with tag functions like Lit. Is this fragmentation really still serv

In my head modern slavery is the cheap and dangerous labor in other countries we rely on altogether; even the voluntary workers. It doesn't make sense to me that we still so easily value the lives of people who happen to be born somewh

Yeah, at work we combine that with https://semantic-release.gitbook.io/semantic-release/ for changelog generation and continuous deployment to NPM. It takes some getting used to, but I like it.

As she mentions this enables pre-recording live coding to be used while giving or looking at presentations later. I.e: on a live coding page that's part of the web page based presentation, not in an IDE. She's a web and CSS champi

I think you're underestimating our dependency on energy in the modern world. It might be easier to convince us to just go ahead and start WW3, but we aren't going to do that, sorry. I hope we can find some way out of this that wil

What's the alternative though? I also wish we would completely stop paying Russia, but this will come at incredible financial and stability (i.e: Europe falling apart) costs. Perhaps we should increase our spending on ending the war so

I don't know.. I'd hope enough of us value their privacy to be able to support this. I'd sooner expect Facebook to give in and just process their European data in Europe.

I wonder, why don't we call this self euthanasia or something like that? Suicide has such a negative connotation, i.e: something that could and should have been prevented. Whereas this is a well considered action.

In some areas of the world where network and/or device performance are limited such a low latency will be impossible to achieve indeed. Inter regional broadcasting also comes with a latency penalty, but with good CDNs like provided by

Their initially released specification depended on some relatively impractical services being provided by the CDN. In following revisions that was improved, but last I checked the major CDNs still didn't support it. I think because it

I wasn't aware of that name yet, but yes, we're using chunked transfer etc. to reduce the latency.

We're using DASH and experimenting with LL-HLS to get reliable and affordable (using CDNS) end to end latency of 3 seconds with which you can already interact live with your audience without too much trouble. Latencies down to about 1

But the law that enabled those people to commit suicide also helps many others. And even if that law didn't exist there wouldn't have suddenly magically been more housing or help available for these two. Helping people who have ex

I use the right shift key to type capital letters on the left side of the keyboard since I type with ten fingers. I suspect most people do that?
