Not only that, but if the trial works that way, you can repeat it any time you need to record something. The app probably dropped a prefs file somewhere (the old-style Mac XML preferences files), delete that and go again. This would actuall

Hey, if you can know that your users are not adversarial and are capable of writing queries, I say let 'em! The problem is really in that last bit.

Man, this guy is still doing it. Good for him! I used to read his books (compendia of his syndicated column) when I was a kid.

We have the editor plugin configured so we can see lints in-editor. But the rules are not yet sufficiently configurable for us to use it in CI. It seems they have their own rule-config schema, and it doesn’t expose everything you might need

I'm afraid you are too late! For you see, I have already depicted you as the impatient and stupid toddler, and myself as the rational, mature adult.

I was with you until “immediate societal collapse”, what?

Perhaps that is a clue!

When I started my career 20 years ago, I thought "they" would figure out how to get a computer to do my job pretty soon. Coders are expensive after all. And I figured I'd just go walk into the woods or something after that; I

I come here for the tech news, but also the assmad potshots you guys always take at JS. Never change, HN.

What is the "emoji hidden message" meant to be testing? This went around about a couple of weeks ago and it's an interesting bug/vuln, I suppose, but why do we care if an LLM catches it?

Just get rid of side effects, man! (Turns out side effects are the whole reason we write code, whoops)

I agree the criticism is poor; it’s often very lazy. There are currently a lot of dog-brain “wrap a LLM around it” products, which are worthy of scorn. Much of the lazy criticism is pointing at such products and therefore writing off the wh

Don’t start blaming JS people for this AI mess! We’re busy making webpages slow.

Oh. Who ran it before?

Hell yeah!! Dizzy K and William Onyeabor are big favorites of mine.

I would also recommend the "Radiooooo" website/app. You pick a country and a decade, and it plays songs. Great way to discover new old music.

Yeah, isn’t that how you represent a list of values? (Or maybe better to say a collection, not sure if ordering is preserved)

I mean, maybe? You just made all this up.

"10" is a JavaScript error code, indicating "this is JS, not Brainfuck"

It’s amazing, one guy did everything completely by himself.

That’s only hard to accept when it’s about something we’d prefer to take credit for, or what someone else has done that we’d prefer to blame them for. When I do something bad, then it’s time for “hey, I’m just a pile of chemically influence

The discomfort and stress is a given in any interview. What I think is nice about this is it doesn’t require you to emanate fully-formed, nicely designed code from your brain on the spot. Instead you just have to navigate the codebase, read

Right, dev boxes do not need to do double duty as a personal computer plus development target, which allows them to more closely resemble the machine your code will actually run on. They also can be replaced easily, which can be helpful if

Wow, that’s a lot. Just think how much money we could save if we stopped caring for them.

Maybe FB should have tried putting more than like 4 people on the project then. (Yes I met them all once.)

They're likely using TS and not really interested in talking about why you feel it's not "needed". In an interview setting, it probably would make more sense to discuss its sharp edges or ways in which it can be clumsy.

I don’t know how many times I’ve read things like this but it doesn’t seem to click. It’s like a burrito with map and bind functions? Well, alrighty!

Probably one of the most maddening things I have ever worked with, and that is saying something. Though a huge part of the blame for that goes to COM and registration, interop stuff, which is more Windows than VBScript and also probably nev
