I mean, even the editing of the demo video itself is incredibly slick. This dude is out of control.

Well, I understand that on some level, a search engine only gets better by utilizing the data in its searches. Sharing data, or using it for purposes other than improving search, sure, that’s a problem. But I think it’s reasonable to say

> Not benefiting: non-TS languages Why? If anything, this gets vanilla JS users more comfortable with types in their JS. That seems like a win, and a good gateway to more strongly-typed languages. Even if other languages aren’t actively

I appreciate that people really need cross-platform functionality, but given that their own website says that the browser is currently in Beta, I think it’s fair to try and restrict criticism to the actual product as it currently is. Person

The beauty of this proposal is that it would keep JS as exactly that. Optional type annotations, packaged as a part of vanilla JS instead of requiring a build step, would be the only benefit. They'd be stripped out at runtime; the comp

As I understand this proposal, it would not add what you're talking about. Just for clarity.

Yes. That's literally what this is. I'm not actually sure what the OP is saying.

No no, the murder hornets and spiders are supposed to distract each other so that the bear-sharks can finally rise from the depths and conquer the mainland.

I mean, how many engineering interviews is a big enterprise company running per month? 1000 feels like a comfortable lower bound. Most of those would use this tool at least twice during their interview process. So you're paying...

The whole essay is very much a history and exploration of the significance of plants in homes. To reduce it to “overstating for identity politics points” is to do a disservice to the writing, at least in my opinion. From the next paragraph

I've seen a lot of speculation like this article, something to the effect of "these sanctions will weaken the international power of the U.S. dollar by forcing more countries to consider non-dollar monetary systems." It'

Those are problems, true, but literally every modern competitive ladder deals with the three problems you're describing: smurfs, boosting, and trolls. Overwatch dealt with all three even when the game cost $40! In return for those prob

The costs and benefits around a game going F2P are too numerous to list in a HN comment, but I think it is extremely reductive to call it a “middle finger” just because you spent $20 four years and 500 hours of game time ago. More people

I know you think you’re making a “cynical but rational” kind of argument here, but man, this comment is a huge fucking bummer. You’re acknowledging that you have the both the ability and the knowledge to change (your small part of) a shit

I saw a comment on Twitter from a Russian expat saying something like “if the EU offered NATO citizenship to every Russian soldier, this war would be over tomorrow morning.” Obviously a lot of magic-wand-waving there. But… seriously, is it

Paying the maintainers is waaaaay different than paying your own employee. Both are good, but the second is already quite common, while the first would be fairly uncommon (and encourage the maintainers a lot more!)

i.e. move to a place where their dollar goes further, so that they are effectively paid more. The argument that "the same salary is worth more in NC" is still pretty convincing to me.
