I've had good experience with the JBL lineup... I'm on the largest (boombox), and I find the quality acceptable (I don't find the quality of most audio products acceptable). The convenience OTOH is phenomenal -- it comes with

An "open data store" as a standardized service could be interesting... a good chunk of backends are just "add this item", "get all items since X", etc. If there was a service that gave you an endpoint that you

Seems to me like the future could well be TS/Electron with bindings to Rust for system-level high perf activities. Let the UI scripting language and mature rendering platform do the UI scripting and rendering, and let the high performa

What's the development experience scene like for Rust GUIs? In my experience developing Electron apps there are a a couple major plusses that I'm not sure Rust can compete with, based only on my limited knowledge of the ecosystem:

That second table is aa good example of why always including units (or even just a "higher is better") is a good idea... I have no clue what I'm looking at. Edit: It's been edited, thx Evolution :) (or I totally glossed

To clarify, the "tuple" is just an array with fixed length. So ts isn't "providing" the length property, it's simply surfacing the underlying Array#length in JS, which it knows to be a constant.

The second you’ve “engineered” yourself into losing good IDE support half the benefit or using a strongly typed language goes out the window in my opinion. Though maybe some bias because I make an IDE! :) Happily with TS it’s possible to ha

Based on the metric I’m guessing you don’t live in USA? Here we have vast expanses of designated wilderness area (well over 1M sq km), where it can be really quite fun to get up to speed while enjoying the views.

This is big! I call it (others might too, idk) “.d.ts driven development”. Where you start the project by writing a .d.ts file and implement it. Similar to starting with a .h in C. Fun fact this is how xterm.js is structured (the terminal e

Thanks for the feedback :) Good to know you use command pallet, I agree that it's not as fast as keybindings, but in my opinion it's a good way to learn about keybindings for future use -- if I search the same thing on the command

To be fair, he’s right. The constitution says the senate gets to approve the judiciary, and the senate is comprised of state-weighted representatives. If the majority of states don’t want a judge, they won’t be appointed. This is basic cons

You don’t actually see no differences between making fishing line, making less-lethal bullets, and making next-gen weapon-hosting kill machines for the military.

And the engineers involved will have had no idea such a thing would happen. After all, they only had the best of intentions, right? And if they didn’t do it someone else would have, right?

The way I see it, space is a life-vacuum, and human nature is to abhor that, as evidenced by the long-standing goal we have of interplanetary/intergalactic settlements. Which is to say: you’re thinking on the wrong timescale. Just wait
