For example, the React team provide a set of codemods to help automatically upgrade codebases when there is a new version of React ( https://github.com/reactjs/react-codemod ). Until `recast` gets TypeScript support, eve

Personally I've moved away from the TypeScript compiler and towards the betas of `babel@7` and `@babel/preset-typescript` ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/@babel/preset-typescript ). It seems to be faster a

It would be non-consensual if you didn't give affirmative consent. However, reading this, it seems that affirmative consent was given at all times, first to taking drugs and then to making out (or having sex) so this article is basical

Maybe because Babel is much faster at transpiling TypeScript.

I don't think we disagree but I do think you're absolving the sins of social assholes because of the sins of asocial assholes. I've met rockstar asshole programmer's before, but I think it is overblown -- I do not think

This 'brilliant technologist that is impossible to work with' mythos needs to die. The majority of us are normal people and don't deserve to be stereotyped in this way. A broader, more liberal education isn't a waste, bu

It's not necessarily that people are calling for hard skills to be replaced with soft skills, however they are writing articles in which they imply that soft skills are more valuable than hard skills at Google [1]. It's basic self

This is true, but can I just pay devil's advocate here. What if you're exceptionally stoic and enjoy learning things in your spare time? If you're emotionally stable enough and a hard worker outside of your career, you might

I've been thinking about this lately, too. I strongly believe this, to the extent that I have a preference for code which is simple but incorrect over complicated but correct. Obviously simple and correct is best, but if I can't g

Putting words in my mouth. My point is that he has enough engineering know-how to let engineers do their jobs and prioritise methodical fixes, not that he will single-handedly do the work.

Elon Musk is an engineer. If his production line isn't as efficient as it should be it will get fixed 'scientifically'. I'd agree with you if his background was different.

I basically never see this advertised, however roles which are £100-120k roll into my inbox a few times a month. Not all of them are in finance. To be honest, I get the feeling finance goes much higher than that for the right person.

My point is that those transpiled languages aren't that stymied. You can use them without a lot of problems, and they're being left on the bench for reasons other than their feature set. Companies generally choose JavaScript becau

by lhnz 9y ago
People aren't choosing between those languages based on performance or avoiding any due to missing features. I've never heard of anybody doing that. People generally choose languages due to assumptions about their hiring pool.

I don't think that comment requires more substantiation than yours that there are "low enough standards that newbies feel empowered without learning anything new". The more people that learn your language, the more likely it

Almost none of the things I mentioned are solutions to 'a problem created by JavaScript' therefore your question seems deliberately misleading. An accepting community can be a large funnel: it doesn't need to mean that nobody

by lhnz 9y ago
This is probably generally true in terms of the language itself, but one assumes that there are people that love type-theory yet also like JavaScript for its ecosystem, environment-reach and hackability. And perhaps there are people that en

It's hard to be objective on this. A modern JavaScript engineer would point out that: - The community is very accepting of new engineers. - The ecosystem is huge and there are great solutions available to many problems. -

That's true but it doesn't hold for the amateur porn that is often found on free sites.

You are definitely misconstruing her comment here. The fact that porn addiction may lessen the number of men that commit rape could be empirically true without any implication that all men are rapists (etc.)

A pornographic photo does not necessarily imply a consent form. Somebody that watches videos or looks at photos does not "actually know what is happening". They are trusting this exercise to the distributor, and if the distributor

The ability to leverage performative victimhood invalidates any claim that you are weak. If you are actually weak, you will do anything not to draw attention to your self, as you will not be able to control the perceptions or actions of oth

Presumably inertia. Bureaucracies are not productive enough to enact changes like Brexit in a short amount of time. Europe will need to determine exactly the ruleset which they believe will apply to UK imports/exports, and it will be e
