I've been thinking about getting a Mac mini as a small server box due to how powerful it is.

It's $25... why not just suspend the program? Seems mostly harmless considering they're getting paid $400k a year...

I'm not sure this is the same situation... SpaceX just began a mission to save stranded scientists in space. And Starlink has legitimate uses.

I keep seeing this online. Why? Clean Code was instrumental in my improvement as an engineer. Is there a reason why this is the opinion nowadays?

I used Robokiller to remove myself from data broker lists. I'm extremely impressed with it. I pay yearly. My only annoyance with Robokiller is that A) It's necessary. When is the government going to start creating laws to help us

Which is unfortunate because I think Go is very useful in a wide variety of business contexts.

What? That's not true. You can use a custom `Link` component...

I completely agree. I've had to "unteach" this from most React engineers that I've worked with/hired. I agree with the reasons given by the article, and I'd offer an additional reason it's so terrible: you

We have not seen this whatsoever. How big is your project? `tsx` is almost instantaneous in a server-side project of ours.

Zed looked pretty cool but the amount of extensions VSCode has makes it difficult to justify a switch. I do think that the SQL extensions for VSCode are pretty terrible, so maybe that's something where Zed can capitalize. Interestingly

I actually don't think it's going to be that impactful. It often gets everything wrong. Today I asked ChatGPT questions about a game I used to play. It got it all wrong. I've recently asked questions about coding. A majority

Bun handles all of the nonsense but the catch is that it blows up both in dev and in production. Wake me up when Bun doesn't segfault/fail to work at all.

The whole point of this is that ESM was very poorly handled. It's irrelevant to TypeScript, esbuild, Webpack, etc. That tooling handles the complexity for you and sometimes that backfires. I've run into a lot of headaches with the

I wish I could but I literally can't not do on Phreesia. And then I can't go into the doctor's office without checking in, which they won't do on paper if they use Phreesia.

Yeah I had this same problem. Could be because of my experience playing space sims.

> The shear amount of magic boilerplate vite creates to make react app work is quite uncomprehensible. What? pnpm create vite pnpm i pnpm run dev ...you're done? Delete all files in `src` and make a single `main.tsx` with `ReactDOM.

This is an extraordinary amount of magic. I think I'll just stick to Vite/React, thanks.

> Adding a new transaction involved reading the entire json document out of the database, then appending the new record to the end. This... doesn't seem right. I understand the issue is with the vendor, but there are lots of MongoDB

But TypeScript IS slow. It just so happens that the issue is currently with Zod but JavaScript in general has always been less performant than other lower level languages. This is why JavaScript tooling is all built in other languages.

by dimgl 2y ago
Zod is recommended by most modern type safe packages. Also this is not the first time we’ve run into TS performance issues. MUI also suffers from poor TS performance. I agree with your assessment re: library choices in theory but it suck to

We already do all of this, thanks. We’re considering Typebox but it’s a big lift and the author of Typebox, while responsive in GitHub, doesn’t seem interested in improving interoperability and documentation regarding usage with tRPC.

I like TypeScript and we have a full-stack system on TypeScript but it's not perfect. Configuring TypeScript for monorepos is a nightmare. Having to make sense of it with internal packages under a pnpm monorepo requires lots of manual
