Really, just use words that describe the concept. "White male" has a very specific inherent meaning. Don't use it to describe something completely different, like racism or sexism.

They use a large, expensive platform for automation, and they don't know how to automate?

> beyond what they would be capable of only working 40 hours a week. I believe that's a fallacy. Especially in software you just won't get more work done by working longer hours. Your 60 h week will at best be 40 h work + 20 h

But couldn't the type system guarantee a sufficent subset of all the possible interactions with the api? Like, you can't determine the halting problem for a turing complete language, but you can for s more restricted language.

Most of the tricks break down as soon as you try to use them for anything. They solve a very specific problem each, and are not composable. Flexbox is at least a bit sane.

> dumping ground for second hand phones Why the negative phrasing? What is wrong with reuse? Would it be any difference if the phones were new? Is it an environmental issue?

It's really weird how you must wait a short moment after touching the keyboard until you can hard-press, or it will just ignore you. Then you let go, and now you accidentally typed a letter... would have worked better with a button on

Well, with the last release, typescriot supposedly can compile plain js. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/What%27s-new-in... That should make it simple to treat ts more strict than js.

Since this is a brand new feature that isn't even accepted into the language yet, it obviously can't be made default. If they decide to make it the default behavior, there would need to be a period where the old bahavior is deprec

I mean you would do it the react way and only manipulate an abstract representation of the dom.

by geon 11y ago
If you want it to be fast, you probably shouldn't touch the dom.

Once wasm supports some access to the gc (on the roadmap), It should be feasible. You wouldn't reimplement the entire runtime, but reuse functionality (like the gc) from the js runtime.

by geon 11y ago
DonHopkins pointed out that wasm will eventually support serialization of arbitrary js. So you wouldn't need to include the js runtime at all, but still get a much quicker download and parsing. https://news.ycombinator.com&#

by geon 11y ago
Interesting. But then it wouldn't really be compilation, but parsing + serialization. I guess the distinction is rather pointless.
897.
by geon 11y ago
That will soon not be true. Exposing the js gc is on the roadmap. ...which will also make it feasible to use other gc:ed languages without shipping an enormous runtime.

> there is clearly a subset of Javascript I suppose the extra restrictions of Typescript would help. At least if you add extra restrictions to make it easier to compile.

I have had easily 2 orders of magnitude more fun with desktop games (CS, Portal, HL2, Mirrors Edge) than mobile ones.
