I enjoy social media and use it to exchange information, observe trends in culture, and as a communication channel when convenient.

In my case the null state was "not yet processed" i.e. a decision pending

Exception i encountered recently was needing ternary state boolean. a set of flags where true and false indicates outcome and undefined indicates "not yet processed". I suppose some sort of 0 timestamp could work but... No, I thin

As a human being he wasn't perfect, but I come back to images from his film in my head time and time again and they help me look up from my work and consider bigger things on an ongoing basis. His films create space in my head which I

It would be nice if we somehow had one to convert typescript back into _idiomatic_ JavaScript.

Agree. I don't use or like tiktok but it's sad to see the internet walls setting in. Inevitable perhaps, but sad nonetheless

One of the hard things to get right when writing one of these "Tips for being a great X" is that they're usually written from the point of view of someone who is a clear leader in their field. With some exceptions, the people

Is there any indication that the numbering change reflects a significant technical shift (eg preparing to target ARM specifically)? Or is this just aesthetics?

Main thing that would prevent me investing in this stack is that the runtime has been designed with typescript in mind. In a few years if the typescript thing blows over, you're left with a runtime and conventions skewed toward statica

He had his scandals but this guy was a legend. A real defining influence on my teenage years.

While I agree with the concerns regarding arbitrary implementation of standard APIs, there are still a bunch of useful applications of PWA technology to enable temporary offline operation. The more we use these, the more likely the APIs are

A sad day I think. I wish more independent ecosystems were evolving, instead of consolidating.

Great idea. I was just thinking about how this would be a great idea the other day.

As a UI architect I've worked on both SPAs and also ROCA-style UI quite a bit. Like everything pros and cons to both. As a general rule of thumb I find SPAs deliver much faster, but ROCA-style solutions are much more predictable. That

What happened to Idris? As someone who knows absolutely nothing about Haskell, I thought Idris was essentially Haskell+dependent types?

"an engineer codes what someone else thinks they want" seems a fairly damning indictment of our industry although I think the author meant it tongue-in-cheek. Lack of ownership of responsibility is still quite a big roadblock for

That had been my conclusions over the years. Erlang (or Elixir) are ironically one of the nicest environments for OO code these days (given they are usually categorized as "functional")

I think this is an issue which needs to be addressed a bit more holisticly. The fact is that HTML, JavaScript and CSS (to name three) all use an element's _className_ for slightly different purposes. The author seems to consider BEM an

Does anyone know if the author completed other projects in Ada (or another language)? I'd be interested in reading some code as well as the specs.

I too struggle to like AMP. The rhetoric seems a little absent imagination in regard to offline. Are you really saying your handheld computer can't be useful without a worldwide network connection?

Love reading this stuff. When I grow up I want to be a C programmer.

Strange article. The add-on libraries described aren't necessary at all.

Being "a Manager" is the wrong first step to leading a team. Management is an activity we should all be undertaking, not a role.

I do hope that this works. One major concern I have is being badly burned by using Xamarin when it was a couple of years (4?) old. I hope they don't do that to github. Xamarin wasn't very elegant back then when those guys started

I try not to do this as I never bought into the idea of evolving a prototype into a production app. My first prototypes tend to be in create-react-app with session-storage (state dies with browser session). I publish this as entirely static

I have to agree with @rado on this one. The article presents this as a "code" vs "UI" debate when really it's a "web" vs "app" debate. Although we use the web as an application platform, it was d

There's still an opportunity for Microsoft to fix this. They definitely have major problems with basic functional requirements at the moment (like reliably displaying messages that another person has sent to you in chat), but there&#x2

A json-based format still has some advantages depending on context. E.g. JavaScript code can manipulate JSON data "natively" whereas XML support is far harder to achieve.
