This is true. The story carried Witcher 1. Gameplay was vastly improved in 2 and I have mixed feelings about 3, the game was definitely more successful and I think you can partially attribute that to changes that made it easier to play and

People really have warped perceptions of different Asian nations. As someone that has been a resident of most of them they are mostly all like China... which shouldn't be surprising there is a lot of shared cultural history in the regi

These places with less free speech aren't even as far away as Russia or China. Hate speech is illegal in Australia for instance.

I believe it's called a joke.

US commercial paper maybe not. Chinese? Sure. but if so there is zero chance they got out without severe losses unless they were holding all 30B in Alibaba AAAA bonds or something.

I don't think we built enough to really know that. Lets see how China goes for costs first and then reassess.

By the time Amazon is relevant Starlink will have already cornered the market. Not to mention keeping such a constellation maintained requires crazy launch cadence which takes atleast a decade to hone even if your rocket is really damn good

I'm not uniformed, I am aware better solutions don't currently exist for the frontend. This however is a thread about using TS/JS on the backend as a web server and I think you will find all my arguments perfectly valid in th

It's not that he doesn't like his laptop it's just that horsepower wise it simply doesn't compare to his monster Threadripper machine when it comes to compiling kernel trees.

This is likely to turn out to be the biggest failure of US policy maneuvering of this century. By keeping China coupled to the Wests semi-conductor supply chain there was always pressure that could be applied in various ways, veiled threat

They will build their own. It was the Chinese that pushed through RISC-V at the end of the day. They are allocating absolutely ridiculous amounts of capital towards building their own lithography expertise now. Trump pretty much forced Bide

That may not even be necessary at this point. Chinese nationals I know all went to US/Australia/UK universities but their younger siblings seem to be much more enamored with the Chinese universities in tier 1 cities instead. Combi

I originally came from a C background where the tooling is essentially the worst in the business (embedded) so yeah, I definitely know what poor DX looks like lol. For me I would pick that again over the current state of Typescript/Jav
824.
by jpgvm 4y ago
Yeah definitely. Typescript is passable, even has some decently cool stuff like discriminating unions which would be nice to have more widespread. The tooling however is just awful. I'm trying to make it palatable with Bazel + rules_js

If you are buying into JS/TS the very last thing you are getting is DX. I have never worked with such a low quality ecosystem ever before and I hope I won't have to endure it for too much longer. If you want DX you are better off

A much cheaper fission plant does the same thing without all of the insane technical challenges of fusion.

To be fair they ship a large number of IDEs and Toolbox makes managing them a lot easier. I mostly only use IDEA Ultimate and CLion but I use the others occasionally too for certain tasks but don't necessarily have them installed all t

Kotlin is actually booming in backend, especially in financial services/fintech. Most are converted Java programmers ofc but many are also new to the JVM coming from Ruby/Python/etc.

This is the function my copy of TAOCP serves. I'm not anywhere near knowledgeable enough to digest all of it, but when I need something and I want to understand the ground theory behind it then to Knuth I go.

One one hand, SQLite would probably be a more expansive project if it allowed contributions in the same way PostgreSQL does. On the other hand it would likely make it both a larger and more complex project. I think a better tradeoff would b

The main source is definitely monetary policy, this was supremely obvious from the enormous asset bubble that ballooned out of the pandemic with risk-on assets like tech stocks and crypto exploding in valuation. The reason this happened is

It's a coarse enough instrument that changing it only a few times a year still spreads the effect out over the whole year and even if it was continuous announcing a change in the rate of change will have exactly the same effect.

Unless they have good OpSec then yes. Valve issues VAC bans for associated accounts when they believe they are linked.

I think my experience playing esports (only at a semi-pro/amateur level however), including LAN play somewhat guides my perspective. Cheating is much more common in esports because of the nature of the game. However there are a lot of

I will agree with that too, if there is evidence of cheating after previously having claimed to have repented I would be highly unlikely to advocate for a third chance.

Unfortunately it just takes time until switching becomes easy/natural. I write Typescript at work atm (quite unfortunate, in the process of campaigning for something more suitable) but program all of my personal projects in a combinati

It can though. Kids can be young and make stupid mistakes. I'm not saying that is what happened here - I really don't follow chess enough to have an informed opinion on this specific case. However I object to the blanket opinion t

A good counter-example is s1mple from the Counterstrike: Global Offensive scene. He was known to have cheated when he was a teenager but went on a redemption arc that has seen him become not only the statistically best player to ever play t
