It might catch on, it might not. Not everyone has to like it. I personally do like it a lot. I think of it as Node.JS with a better organized core (with the benefit of hindsight), use of browser APIs whenever possible, and built in Typescri

I think that in comparison, what happened with Javascript has been great honestly. People have been completely stuck with it, so we've built a great server side (Node.JS / npm / yarn) and client side (React, Vue, Typescript,

I always wonder if "we" spend too much time on new languages and not enough on good libraries in existing popular languages.

Vim syntax isn't a "bunch of tricks" though. It's a syntax, with enough consistency that you're able to figure out new commands without looking them up. For example, "d$" cuts from your cursor to the end o

If we're spitballing tinfoil type stuff, I'd guess it's in the NSA's interest to have American OS's like MacOS be as secure as possible. I'm sure they have access to any of Apple's certificate chains, clou

The mobile Twitter site completely broke for me the other week on the latest iOS and a 2020 iPhone. Scrolling just caused the site to glitch like crazy. Had to switch to the app!

I know, but do we really expect Apple to start World War III by banning Facebook from the App Store? We have to think in terms of reasonable solutions.

I agree that defaults are good! I have to at least "set number" in my vimrc, and most importantly get rid of those horrible swap files. Here's my minimal vimrc if anyone is curious https://gitlab.com/jane314&#
