I mean sure "recent" could refer to a span of even 50 years why not. I wouldn't trade my Roslyn compiler for AGOL68.

as far as programming language evolution goes I have to assume "recent" refers to a span of 20 years or so - otherwise I don't think we have any recent techniques

I think the significant advent is the M1 chip itself. I was never interested in Win10 ARM edition until the prospect of running it on an M1 Mac. Unfortunately it looks like Apple have taken this opportunity to drop support for alternative O

They really should extend KVS for this - it's going to be very difficult to leverage if the XSS interface is underneath the filesystem (as shown in the diagram) especially for RDBMS where the database is (usually) a single big flat fil

if this can be used to make a type checker for SQL strings like https://github.com/MedFlyt/mfsqlchecker or https://github.com/codemix/ts-sql but for C# I will be stoked!

a programmer's work is never done. I imagine this is doubly true for anything js related. this project has 179 open issues and 85 open PRs, impressively almost as many issues as lines of code!

as a fan of the fair-use doctrine, pixel art and the whole chiptune genre I agree that article is the worst.

Charlotte's Web is also a literary masterpiece - definitely reread as an adult if you only remember it from your childhood. The Audible is narrated by EBW himself.
