This is the first I’ve heard the point that it’s hard to give employees equity at EU-based startups. - If you’ve worked in tech in the EU, can you share examples of this affecting you? - Does this also extend to US companies that want to gi

A problem with this approach is that deleting a file from source/ does not delete it from build/. In my own projects, simply rebuilding the whole site is fast enough, so I opt to remove the whole build folder before a rebuild: ht

Am I correct in understanding that this means you can only have a list of typed ASTs, or a list of not-yet-typed ASTs, but not a list with a mix? Obviously I understand that if this is the limitation, then there are ways to work around this

Your solution is the second alternative proposed in the article: the “Nullable field” solution. It’s an example of a classic tradeoff between enforcing correctness and invariants “by construction” vs at runtime. Since the field is nullable,

It seems that the focus is on sandboxing file system access. This is great if you already know that “stateful disk access” is the only thing the command does! It would be interesting to think about how/whether to extend this to statefu

> I sincerely hope this might make Chrome change its mind. I take this to suggest that Chrome actively decided against implementing JPEG XL? Did they consider supporting it and reject support for it, or has it simply not been prioritized
