Besides funding (and maybe multithreading), I'd say that every new language will suffer from these limitations. They are difficult to avoid.

From TFA regarding security updates on libraries and dependencies: "A valid point. Since the Flatpak developers were fully aware of this problem, they came up with an acceptable and easy solution: flatpak-external-data-checker (f-e-d-c

One feature that I was waiting for is finally here: JSON column support for SQL Server.

Since there are already a lot of great answers, I'll give a niche one: fzf. It's a simple concept and implementation, but you can plug it in all kinds of things and quickly compose complex tools in a simple manner. You can use it

FORTH is the ideal language for a zombie apocalipse. Nothing comes close when you start with a CPU and nothing else :)

Thanks for the reply. I liked the article and was confused just about this part. I've browsed the Economist's site and all I could see was political propaganda and drama.

I mostly agree with you, but I wonder what's the distance between what you described and our actual intelligence.

"Read The Economist religiously. It will make you better faster." Huh?

Maybe the Y Combinator board invested in the team, and not the idea/product? I'd be on that.

It's the async parts that are buggy and have race conditions. Sometimes the wait works, sometimes it doesn't (and I can clearly see the element being rendered in the browser and available in the DOM). It's quite the opposite,

No! Thanks for pointing it out.

I've used Puppeteer extensively and its the most unstable tool that I've come across in recent years. Its full of race conditions and the waitForSomething functions will sometimes work, sometimes not. It's usable, but it&#x27

Off-topic, but is there a reason for small companies/projects to use Oracle Cloud? Are their prices and feature set competitive against AWS, Azure and GCP for this audience?

I think this would be more likely to cause an aneurysm than a deja vu :)

For many use cases, Python is unbearable as well. That's my point :)

Of course, but that's not why you'd choose TypeScript in the first place.
918.
by haolez 6y ago
TypeScript makes JavaScript a boring, "enterprisey" language. That's a really successful strategy, as seen in Java and C#.

Excel is like Emacs for non-programmers. It's a sandboxing tool for your imagination to go wild.

Spot on. Bringing the stakeholder to the squad (just for a daily meeting, for example) is a great Agile insight which doesn't need Scrum at all. I highly recommend it.

The network effect is sometimes a curse. Reddit is the worst UX of a product that I use routinely.

But then, governments will choose who the winners are (and will charge for this).

This brought some old memories to the surface. I was hit by a car pretty badly when I was a teenager. I've actually flown above the car and landed into the road, but somehow I've managed to protect my head, so I have a clear memor

I'm thinking of starting this journey with PureScript. Seems a lot more practical for my use cases and their introductory book is quite good (I'm reading it).

The first version of DOS had a filesystem that didn't support directories! :)

I've only played a little with MUDs, but I believe they are due to a big comeback as AIs like GPT-3 gets cheaper and more convenient to use. The possibilities for human vs AI interaction and also worldbuilding are endless.

I'd consider Nomad if I'd need to manage my own orchestration infrastructure somehow. My first option would be to hire a managed Kubernetes service. If that proves to be unreliable or not cost-effective in the long run, I'd t

I'm a CTO of a non-startup company and I've found one or two articles useful. Thanks!

Kind of off topic, but why is Matrix better than XMPP? Genuine question. Just curious.

This is so powerful that it can be used as a "weapon": it's the perfect lib for making malware. I think this is a compliment!
