I really like this idea, but I'm not sure if it would work in practice. It's basically working against webpack's code splitting because those are tagged with hashes. Additionally, the first load will still be quite heavy, whe

Hi HN, I build this tool to help a colorblind friend name colors for his daughter. It probably works best on mobile. That's it :)

I haven't seen such issues with webrtc. It's been very low latency for my use cases.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Android app is a thin webview wrapper either. Stadia is streaming content, it's not like it needs much beyond what the web browser can do.

I'm a big fan of Tailwind because I've realized that HTML isn't really maintained and refactored anyways: it's either composed or rewritten. Rarely do refactors happen in the same way as most programming languages.

I think this is one reason service workers haven't caught on. Offline-first is nice, but it has an obvious shelf life given the progression of technology.

Also before the hype, Among Us wasn't doing well at all. They went from practically zero to straight millions. That's some crazy luck.

The point I'm trying to make is not that FSM actually can do these, but rather that this distinction is largely theoretical. In practice, even linearly bounded isn't practical because of course I can pick a sufficiently large inpu

Not if it's bounded on memory. A memory-bounded pushdown automaton will also fail but a general computer can match it. For the post I was referring to the physical computers we work with daily. I should clarify :)

Ah good catch, the TS compiler can't as it types it as string that fails. let door: DoorState = "open"; works though. :) I've updated the post and a link to the TS playground.

I'm surprised that there isn't more software automation. For example, the bolts align faster with better engineering but the pit lane gate at the end of the video is manually controlled. There seems to be a lot of mechanical cleve

The compiler can still help without needing to resort to checked exceptions. For example, `Either[T, Either[FileNotFoundCheckedException, RuntimeException]]` is basically isomorphic to a function that returns T or throws and has the same mo
