Agreed. The author is conflating discriminated unions with optional properties. His example is better off as a discriminated union because the optionals are set based off of it's type. There are plenty of situations where optional pr

Again, his point that making porn more "acceptable" means that people and our government will start having open conversations about it. This means making clear rules that both acknowledge the right of these sites to exist while al

You're not really addressing their point. Some people believe that drugs are "inherently harmful", but an outright ban or "war on drugs" made the problem worse. It pushed drugs to the unregulated black market. The s

I don't think the comment is referring to individual companies but the market as a whole. It's clear that wealth is and has always tended to accumulate to the richest when not checked. This article does a great job laying out some

That’s just it. I don’t think it can be stated that he was armed at this point. We know a knife was in the car. That’s about it. Personally, I wouldn’t consider him to be armed unless he was actively brandishing it. Which the USA Today arti

No. > When destructive protests by demonstrators did take place, the "victims" were often statues of slave owners, Confederate leaders, and colonial figures.

Can you provide a source for this? The best I can find is that he had a knife on the floor of the truck. But was otherwise unarmed. This is consistent across all the main sources I've checked. 1. https://www.usatoday.com&#x2

I was actually a Sublime Text user before VSCode. I'll be the first to admit Sublime Text is faster. VSCode still wins for me in a landslide. Sublime text's performance is just not enough of an advantage over VSCode's feature

It's ok to have a different opinion. But you shouldn't assume your experience invalidates my own. I've used a large number of text editors. Vim, Sublime Text, TextMate. I loved them all, and they are of course much faster and

VSCode, an Electron app, is my favorite application of all time. It starts up quickly and is incredibly responsive in use. It's easy to customize, there are loads of community extensions, and it's free. When abstractions allow sof

It used to be. But more recent versions of TypeScript (I believe since 3.5) are much stricter with strings in implicit unions. It's really quite helpful. Here's an example where the feature can save you: ``` let x = () => {

In TypeScript, x would be of type () => "abc" | number.

But if you look at the per capita value of facebook vs this company, facebook produces a lot more revenue. In 2018 facebook made 55.8 billion[1], that same year boskalis made about 2.8691 billion usd[2]. If facebook has 30k employees that m

That's not the point I was trying to make. I agree they are essentially unrelated. But they do both try to reduce requests made. From the article: > Not only that, but HTTP/2 has a new concept called Server Push. Without going

by drew-y 7y ago
That's basically what the article says though. The connection to HTTP2 is that they both try and minimize the amount of requests made to a server. The author is just pointing out that GraphQL has more to offer than reduced requests.

I think that is an error in the article. I live in Boise. The law allows ticketing if there IS room in shelters. People would not be ticketed if the shelters are full. Not saying it's a good law. But the article is wrong. Edit: Here is
