Why is this surprising to anyone? It is clear that ads use tracking mechanisms and cookies and this is no different. Audio feature detection isn't even a novel techique. I've seen trackers look at download stream patterns to detec

Hey this looks really cool I am going to schedule a demo. I've been looking for someone to fill the gap of 'npm audit' and paying auditors for code breaches and monitoring data breaches. The thing is even if this tool doesn&#

Funnily enough, Ivy takes a pretty similar approach to Svelte with its markDirty calls similar to Svelte's $$invalidate calls. That said, Angular doesn't utilize its compiler the same way Svelte does (yet) so time will tell.

In my experience (as a conference speaker) the people who recommend .NET and sell .NET consulting are often the same people who recommend Angular and do Angular consulting. Both have a relatively high entry barrier compared to their alterna

In practice I've found that web standards are mostly driven by people who are willing to spend the time and effort to iron our all the edge cases. I've had a very pleasant experience contributing to things like `fetch` and negativ

I think that the micro-celebritism is tiring and toxic for our industry, most of my open source stuff is stuff other people could write and I'm just glad I have the privilege to help. I'm literally writing this comment from an air

As a maintainer of several OS projects with millions of monthly downloads I'm entirely fine with them using it for free. I get too much compensation and recognition for those projects as is anyway IMO and the swag is nice. There are pl

It took me roughly 20 seconds to find your real name out by clever googling and your HN comment history. You can probably do the same to me. An alias is not privacy :]

I beg to differ, I've seen it adopted in quite a few places by large companies. I've rarely seen it used in startups though. My evidence is anecdotal (so is yours though). I definitely agree that it's not seeing nearly as muc

Showing a typing mechanism to be safe is a very hard thing to do. There are a few methodologies I'm familiar with. What most people think about - formal proof - doesn't work for semi-obvious reasons (as you can easily reduce &quot

Yes thank you, good catch! Edited, I had a long day of dynamic programming (ironically in Python) and my brain is numb.

by inglor 7y ago
You think you're being downvoted because people like dynamic typing very much. You're being downvoted because: A) You left a comment with a strong opinion without expressing it while dismissing other peoples' experience B) Py

Actually Angular does this with Zones which is a different Reactivity system. This is actually quite similar to what PostSharp did with WPF where it injected INotifyPropertyChanged and WPF compiling its getters and setters. Then it's a

So basically mostly the same thing MobX does in React and Vue does out of the box? That's not a bad thing - that's the "good" kind of Reactivity and how most UI should be written IMO - it involves significantly less boil

That's a good point! Though I think a big part of it is that the web stack changes a lot more often which breeds a lot of fear that kills empathy. I've met some of the nicest people I know in the JavaScript open source community a

That's a fair point. In this particular case the documentation was significantly worse than most new JavaScript libraries I'm used to and pretty similar to most Python libraries I'm used to. Sometimes parameters were missing,

Another thing I've noticed is that the Python community in StackOverflow is very nice and considerate most of the time compared to the JavaScript crowd. (Being a part of both). If anyone is interested in engaging by the way: https:&#x

I think a big part of it is how much canonical documentation and resources has improved in JavaScript vs. how much people are struggling with it in Python (as someone who does more Python than JS but does both). Python libraries tend to hav

Great writeup by Liran, he's also a member of the Node.js security team and I recommend checking his talks about package ecosystem security.
