We were already using Webpack + babel. Adding transpilation there is fairly inexpensive (done by babel, without type checking). Type checking did roughly double our build time. Even then, we do run type checking during builds because we pre

I have transitioned my entire team (comprising people ranging from fresh-out-of-a-bootcamp to senior 20-years-in-the-web). Next.js and GraphQL are interesting technologies, but I would say they will eventually fade. They do solve some probl

In my experience, most software offering PPAs also offers debian repositories that get setup in your /etc/sources.d/ (usually the install instructions are just to run "curl https://somesoftware/installer.

It is not behind all the time: it just follows a different (and more flexible) schedule. [1] For instance, the current debian stable release entered freeze on 2019-01-12 and was finally released on 2019-07-06. [2]. This means that most soft

That patch seems to remove the option of striping the http(s) from the url bar. That is, you always get the http(s) and there's no option not to view that anymore. Am I missing something?

Definitely not ideal, but php provides the escapeshellarg [1] function you are supposed to use in these situations. You can even implement a "safe" exec function like so: function safe_exec(array $args, array &$output = nu

While it is very obviously suboptimal, I don't see why 3D printing should be dismissed entirely in situations like the current one. The point is that we have thousands of these 3d printing machines distributed around the world, with a

I don't see how this is different than any other IO in most systems today. For instance, the moment you make an http request you can't possibly know for sure what kind of response you'll get back. However, you can strongly ty

What do you think "treating their illness as if it were covid-19" means? This is a viral illness. There is simply no treatment. You go home, rest and eventually get through it in most cases. If you have annoying symptoms, you try

The solution is to stop trying so hard. As you said, the problem is fuzzy, so you do... a fuzzy search, return a bunch of results, and let the user pick. If the dataset is too large, then you just let the search include more details. "

This is true only if what you're building is big enough. For something like vimscript, where most people are likely to script minor stuff, the marginal cost of learning the scripting language itself is non-trivial and increases the &qu

I put cannot in cursive because yes, you can schedule over the processing capacity limits. However, the CPU acts as a rate limiter in and of itself. If your CPU cannot process 2_000 updates per second, you will not be doing more than that

You cannot generate 2000 updates a second if your computer cannot handle them. Javascript runs a "main loop" that just executes "tasks". Tasks are chunks of synchronous code, and are not preemtible. Let's say you
