   What about the lack of a mature language server for code completion and at-your-fingertips documentation? What about the lack of mature tooling for static analysis, linting, code formatting, etc? What about the poor support for defaults and

   HCL in particular has so many annoying edge-case issues and limitations due to its immaturity that it becomes intractable beyond simple use cases. Thankfully Pulumi[0] allows me to write Terraform configuration in a language I know without

    This seems like a lot of work to ultimately have a Frankenstein monster. Just use NeoVim. Name one reason why you need VSCode.

    One great thing about the Rust books and tutorial -- you can easily enjoy them offline, right out-of-the-box. I learned the basics of Rust on a long plane ride with no WiFi. What a great way to pass the time!

    Cryptocurrency is not money... yet. Money is inherently a liability of the issuer. No one is liable to accept bitcoin (for example) as payment, therefore it is not money. However, if you can build a currency that represents real world asset

    Sounds like the author would agree it's fine to use RSA, so long as you use an audited library with a well-designed API that makes it easy to do the right thing, and hard to do the wrong thing. This makes me wonder, if we have an RSA l

    Kind of neat how SolidJS solved these issues: each component function and hook runs only once. There is no need to worry about dependencies since it won’t need to run again! Hooks like useState() do not emit a value — they emit a “signal”,
