You act as if the typescript compiler and source-maps suddenly stopped working once they're out of the core. I think you're hugely underselling the value that deno provides as a tool and attribute too much virtue to TS. Maybe the

No hate, but everything has a cost. Denos strengths over other JS runtimes don't come from its native typescript support, but from the much simpler and streamlined tooling compared to the rest of the JS ecosystem. JS is the smallest co

We don't use it because we found it to be too brittle. The type system is really bolted on. We've hit super weird bugs, in the compiler. And any kind of preprocessing/compilation introduces layers that make in-process debuggi

Yes. We also don't use it with typescript (and would actively advocate for its removal from deno when asked), best JS runtime I've ever used.

The ecosystem has also lost its mojo, and Apple is the one that killed it. The good old days of really good, dedicated mac software studios are over. Made by Sofa, Delicious Monster, SubEthaEdit, TextMate, Panic Inc, Rogue Amoeba, Strange F

Space has at most cubed resources relative to time (we can only explore a sphere assuming non arbitrary FTL travel). Population growth is exponential. Even with space as a resource the math doesn't work out. You'd just keep the py

We're doing just that. We have an index trie datastructure that is optimized for manipulation by an FPGA in an SSD. Xillinx recently released a product that enables this which it's super awesome and even affordable. https:/&

Is there a reason to use galloping over an array vs a seek in a search tree? Better real world factors? Galloping, Demaine set intersection, worst case optimal joins, they all seem to be different aspects of the same underlying principle. S

This sounds like there is currently a mechanism for winnowing the crap, but we currently don't really have this either. On the contrary, because researchers are driven to publish publish publish, they often reheat the same paper over a

Funding is dostributed based on citation counts and the most "prestigious" journals. "Prestigious" is completely arbitrary and heavily lobbied for by the publishers.

I hope that there will never be a "legal-streaming" equivalent. These papers have been paid for already, through the salary of the people that wrote and peer reviewed them. There is a theft happening, but it's not the way com

This completely misses the point. Every piece of value generating work in the chain of paper publication is done by people paid by universities and in turn by taxpayer money. The publishing companies give 0 pay to the volunteers that write

If you don't like the inflation of the governments currency, just build your own. (Thats the libertarian argument when it comes to everything else privatized, e.g. roads, no?)

If I want random garbage in my codebase that I have to fix anyways I might as well hire a underpaid intern/junior. It's easier to write correct code than to fix buggy code. For the former you have to understand the problem, for th

A single compiler pass that takes the WASM and optimises it for your machine is still AOT compilation. What makes the JIT a JIT is not it's ability to execute bytecode optimised for the platform, but to perform optimisations for your c

Then don't use the runtime and rewrite the code to plain js. All you have to do is declare cell contents as variables, and replace the first D3 select, that attaches to a reified dom node, with an #id selector. D3 is a series of tools,
