Is that similar to Social Security in the US? Maybe Social Security is at a smaller scale

What’s the alternative? Pensions? If your retirement is dependent on a pension, and the pension goes belly up, then you’re left with a fraction of what you planned for (since PGBC doesn’t cover it all)

In TS, an object is close to being kwargs. My main issue is that it’s much more verbose since you separately write the destructure and type, so you have to write the args twice. But one nice thing is that consumption is less verbose than Py

I usually see it for things like “return_generator”. Then you need to write an overloaded signature to show that it could return a list or generator depending on that param. Then it’s even worse when there’s also an “allow_raise” param, whe

Maybe there's selection bias, where the companies who downsized were doing worse than the companies who didn't. So if both sets of companies ended up the same, and one set was initially doing worse than the other, then that'd

There's very little new syntax added by TS

“Felt like they wanted C#” makes sense because Anders Hejlsberg was involved with TypeScript. Glad they stopped forcing C# into it and let it be its own thing. Not that C# is bad though!

TypeScript is fantastic —- such a flexible type system. It was introduced 18 years after JavaScript but feels like a perfectly natural evolution of JavaScript. TypeScript _should_ feel like a wonky bolt on but it’s wonderful. A testament to

That sounds good, but we might need a class attribute that disables filesystem corruption in case we need to access `___________super_ultra_private` somewhere

I wish Python enforced private attributes. I once worked in a codebase where this was roughly true: _usually_private_but_ok_to_access_if_you_are_knowledgeable __private_unless_you_need_an_escape_hatch ___absolutely_private_except_fo

Importing with `require` is CommonJS, not part of JavaScript’s spec. CommonJS is a Node-only thing so supporting it isn’t required in a JS superset

Plus some ORMs have nice schema migration tools. Engineers should still verify what the auto-generated migration is doing, but that's much better than writing the migration by hand

That isn't what "TS is a superset of JavaScript" means. That phrase means "TS syntax is a superset of JavaScript syntax". Your example is syntactically valid in TS -- it just fails a type checking

Bespoke feature flag systems can become a quagmire. You might think “we only need a boolean value”, but then you need a number, and then you need a string, and then you need a UI to manage it, and then you have a 2nd service and DB and have

Would logging feature flag values be enough? Then you could look at stdout to see what the value was during each job

The company makes nearly all of its money on short-term trades, but short-term trades have a much higher tax rate than long-term gains. Since short- and long-term taxes are calculated in separate buckets, if you create losses in the short-t

They might’ve meant the type errors, rather than runtime errors. TypeScript’s type errors can get flat out unreadable when you’re dealing with moderately complicated types. Even errors with generics can get ugly. That said, I still love Typ

Does Ruby still not allow type annotations in the same file as your code? Last time I checked, you had to put them in separate .rbs files. That’s a dealbreaker for me

If the services need to be in separate data centers then how would a monolith be a solution? Monoliths can't span data centers

Sweet! I might have to work on upgrading us from 1.4 to 2.0

by goodoldneon 4y ago
I appreciate that argument but some codebases are heavily reliant on “magic” libraries like SQLAlchemy. The SQLAlchemy mypy plugin helps a lot. Well, at least with SQLAlchemy 1.4; dunno if 2.0 needs the plugin
