Using interfaces (whether literal interfaces in your language or the general concept) to isolate operations that rely on dependencies is so critical IMO. It makes testing so much easier, takes little additional upfront effort, and generally

This is great, bookmarked. I hope we can see this in search results in the future. I started a new job in TypeScript back at the beginning of the year and the lack of standardized library documentation viewing is a surprising gap in the TS

I downloaded the entire state of Rhode Island so I never really need to use data when traveling. It's fantastic.

The sports betting craze is really interesting to me. I'm from upstate NY and I remember when it got legalized I didn't think much about it. Let people do what they want. I won't play because I don't gamble. Then when I

It's the same reason everything digital and downloadable isn't free: there's a cost to create it and there's a value to it. For a language developer to charge for a book about that language, I think that's a complet

I'm not certain, but I _feel_ like those are new values. There's a very real chance (majority chance) I'm wrong and oblivious though.

Same here. I would've really like if the spec specifically mentioned the possibility of that one edge case ahead of time instead of having to sift through the 1000 lines of input. No hate on AOC though, I really respect all the hard wo

I'm from and worked at the falls as a teenager. This was one of my favorite stories to tell to tourists because it's just so interesting. The Falls are more important than one may expect to NY since we generate a lot of hydro-elec

This was directly blown without making the project. At least a VC funded startup would try (hopefully).

Are we talking web frontend, or can we extend this to desktop GUIs as well (that may be cheating, but bear with me). Windows Forms and WPF are both still supported. If you're a business built on Windows Forms (very productive for GUI d

The fact that it was developed by square was such a great decision. Square dominated the RPG space for 90s consoles for good reasons and they just crushed it. The addition of timing mechanics to attacks was such a great idea to keep young k

For sure, that makes sense to me, but it seems like Chromebooks have cornered the market for this kind of work by being cheap, easy, and targeting this demo. Kids also don't have a great reputation with treating tech that isn't th

That's a really great point. I was wondering the same thing as the comment root but this is enough for it to make sense. At the end of the day, having a wrapper email/notification class with an SMTP and moving to a specific SES im

They're very affordable now too. I got one for something like $80 and it's been great. Working remote and getting to visit friends and family during the week and still have more screen real estate is huge.

I only use DataGrip, but oh boy is that the best $8 a month that my employer pays for. I'd pay an absurd amount out of pocket per month for DG alone. Easily $100 probably. I've used so many SQL GUIs and DataGrip is better than all

I see this is using Graphviz. The first time I used DOT, I was writing a parser and wanted to visualize my AST. It was fantastic and so easy to write, especially if you have a wrapper library. It's such a great tool for being able to v

What are your favorite RPGs at the moment? New or old? I feel like RPGs have been holding strong since the Super Nintendo and there so many hours of incredible gameplay to be had.

I guess there are only so many ways to write a JSON parser b cause one I wrote on a train in Python looks very similar! I thought it would be nice and simple but it really was still simpler than I expected. It's a fantastic spec if you
