This was solved in rust by approaching it from the other side. You need to be explicit everywhere that a value is "borrowed", so while you never need a `->`, you'll still know it's dereferencing in the more natural pl

Most of the glued pieces I'll see fail after a decade were using your standard yellow carpenter's glue. It's fine, strong stuff that lasts a while, but it will still soften if it absorbs some water. Some older glues will also

I come across this one all the time, but it's usually in the form of "I know you're wrong, because person X made an argument that I don't understand, but this misunderstood summary of that argument says you're wrong

Great read! I was active in the gb dev scene in the late 90s (hmu if you remember gbdev99 or the bunghk contests), and it's amazing to see so many of the names and libraries built so long ago still come up today. The Game Boy is still

Yeah, I see too often devs shrug off their "technical debt" when what they're really describing is simply sloppy work. These economic metaphors always break down when you challenge the idea that devs/dev managers are alw

As someone who's been deep into rust for only a month, I can't imagine there was a time where macros were any _harder_ to figure out. That said, using macros that other people have written for me is pretty great. The procedural ma

Absolutely, and it ignores that React has never been designed purely to render into the browser DOM as defined by the w3. The browser's DOM is simply one target, though certainly the most popular one. I use React every day for building

Many of us have been deliberately mislead into thinking that because the Special Counsel's office issued a report, that means it's the end. There are still numerous pending trials and pre-arrest indictments. Especially for the pre

You can also, as before, find the indictments and convictions (with hundreds of pages of attached evidence) from the investigation: https://www.justice.gov/sco Numerous convictions for top-level members of the campaign. Det

I've spent many months trying to "easily move" an MVP over, after being saddled with a bunch of horribly structured data that has taken a massive amount of effort to unravel. Devs need to stop thinking of it in such binary te

He may be, and while he's a great investor, he's pretty easily duped when they're selling something he wants to be true. > I think a lot of the voters who vote for Trump take Trump seriously but not literally. And so when

Sure, but I see it more about the medium than the actual content produced. Look at the glut of superficial top-level comments right here from people who didn't seem to even read the article and instead write out the same talking points

[emotion]( https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion ) is the main lib doing it now -- it's pretty popular among the React crowd, and sits at 5k stars right now. It's a nice, gradual transition, since it mostly fol

Oh I've been around a long time too, and I've definitely had that experience in the past. Presentation logic was the really _big_ one years ago. Few devs seemed at all bothered if their views were extremely complex, contained heav

Nothing wrong, it's just a more common tradition. JS used purely as a declarative language is actually remarkably consistent. And if you have inconsistencies, I'd rather have the same inconsistencies than have 3 different language

There's a credibility you gain with experience that tends not to be afforded is generously to women. You're right that documenting your work is critical for new devs too. A man with seniority can claim credit and not be doubted. A

I've spent my career in Toronto, and while I've visited SV many times I didn't really realize how deep some of that stuff runs. The reaction to the Damore memo really brought out some of the worst of the worst.

I was surprised to see no mention of rxjs at all, considering observables (and pipelines) are phase 2. Somehow ramda is there, though. I'm hoping the results show a lot of passion behind koa! I love that approach in general, especially

If it makes you feel better, I shat all over flow and praised typescript.

Plenty who will disagree and say they do want JS everywhere. I can build my dom much more cleanly using nice declarative js than html with all its silly and inconsistent rules, and letting react do the rest. I'm happier writing my styl

Absolutely. The best maintenance I do isn't renaming a bunch of properties, or putting in better exception handling. It's deciding that entire features or the basic approach to a problem is fundamentally flawed and needs to be scr

That's a good way to put it. The ones who think it's an uncreative field are usually the ones who struggled through learning the syntax, and therefore assumed that's what the hard part of the job is. Thinking that an unambigu

I agree, and as an employer I find a happy medium is to test on a whiteboard, but be completely okay writing filler, a comment saying "code for this goes here", etc. So long as they're building the correct general approach, t
