Well said. When we went from JavaScript to TypeScript we completely eliminated any errors we had associated with types. Then we turned on the noImplicitAny and strickNullChecks options and completely got rid of our 'x is not a function

I may just be imagining things, but it seems a disproportionate number of RSI-suffering programmers use emacs. From my own experience, I suffered the worst RSI of my life while using vim. It subsided a bit when I moved to Sublime and almost

By far the most fulfilling work I've done is the seven games I've created for the Ludum Dare game jam. I love creating the art and music for these even if I'm not very good at it. I also love the period after the jam where yo

Bear in mind that after the recent Florida school shooting, the President of the United States declared that if he were there, he would have, despite being unarmed, physically overpowered the shooter and saved the day. If that is not worryi

Anyone know if art apps like Procreate will work as well on this as they do on the iPad pro? I'm happy with my Air 2 and would love to draw on the couch or on the porch with it, but the iPad Pro is just complete overkill for me.

What about 2D games? It seems GameMaker may have the advantage there. I've completed six game jam games and am looking into moving towards a slightly larger project and am currently considering Phaser and GameMaker, but if the 2D has c

They did this to me. I signed up for a fastmail.fm account around 2002-2003. They presented their services at the time as a 'one time' fee - something like 20$ if I remember correctly. Anyway around 7-8 years later they announced

Anyone know the story regarding TypeScript definitions and this project? I'm surprised to see that they don't seem to be available yet considering this project used to be written in TypeScript.

I learned about guacamole about a year ago from HN and it is amazingly useful software. I use it as a way to have a cloud desktop on a linode instance. I've heard some great use cases, such as people using it to serve up legacy softwar

Is clojure.spec a replacement for static typing? I ask because I've taken a look at clojure in the past and generally like what I see, but after moving from JavaScript to TypeScript at work I don't think I can ever return to a dyn

It's interesting to look back at just how well designed Super Bomberman was. It is fast-paced but my dad could play it with us and even win some rounds. The mix of skill and luck seems just right. There are many interesting and funny p

Bit of a left-field question here: how hard would it be to integrate with Google Home where you could dictate your notes, listen to them or mark todos as completed?

I don't like this word either. Not just the 'fart' aspect, or even the 'cutesy' aspect - I just don't like how closely this apes the word 'tweet' from Twitter.
