From a React newbies's perspective, the React community is much more in the es6 camp than Typescript. Many of the starter kits are in es6. It's not a huge deal. I actually write most of my front-end code these days in Aurelia, w

I wrote in a previous post that I enjoy working with Typescript and overall it's a win for our team, but these days I sometimes wonder how much of a win over es6/7. I've found the biggest headache is getting all the *.d.ts fi

At the high risk of starting a huge flamewar, I think the benefits of static-typing have won in a way. I've been using Typescript exclusively as my transpiled language for about a little over a year now. The benefits of intellisense&#

Can someone recommend a good IDE or editor with good IDE-like features for Rust? I think it's time for me to take the plunge and start learning a little bit about Rust. Also, I'm assuming the windows support is good these days?

It's amazing the minute nooks and crannies of life that government is involved in these days. You can argue that the effects of this legislation are worth the costs, but you can't argue that there isn't also negative consequ

So called "progressive" campuses have become mini Orwellian dystopias because of demented leftist ideology run amok.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Big Business doesn't have people with guns that can come into your house and kill you or arrest you.

I'm not surprised considering the litigious nature of American society and the typical knee-jerk reaction to spread the blame as much as possible when an accident occurs. But I'm hoping people and other more reasonable governments

Nothing is done in America's interests "America" doesn't have interests, people have interests.

The Atlantic almost used an euphemism for what the effects of a cashless society would be like. I guess they didn't want to use the term "Big Government". That might upset the "When I say Big Business, I mean bad"

I don't like the mention of groups like Occupy and BLM. Those are anarchist groups and I have no use for them Those groups are the furthest from anarchists groups so I wonder why you would call them that.

So are you saying that basic income requirements will be very different than welfare is today?

In other words, the down-voters are grasping for straws because what the parent said is probably true, but it just doesn't sound right?

You seriously think that high IQ people are committing as much crime as "whoever else", but get caught less often? Seriously? Obviously a high IQ person on average will have a better job/more money and therefore have less re

That reminds of kids not playing outside anymore (in the U.S) because the media has ingrained into parents heads that there's a boogeyman around every corner. Are there really that many more pedophiles (other bad actors) now compared t

The problem is that there are no real horrors of say libertarianism compared to the 100 million or so that were slaughtered, starved to death, enslaved, whatever..in the name of socialism. At some point in time you have to deal with the rea

It doesn't matter how you to try to spin it. The vast scale of the horrors inflicted on humanity because of authoritarian socialism is well known and won't just go away.

The Nazi Party, even though it has "socialism" and "workers" in its title, is not considered to be a form of Socialism (nor, for that matter, to be pro workers) I hate getting down in the weeds on this, but its "n

Like others, I have beefy machines and it's still somewhat sluggish. It doesn't bother me as much as others, but I still finding myself typing vscode "blah" instead of atom "blah" for simple file edits that wi

Yep...when I first heard about Atom I felt the exact same way you did...."a chromium (web) based desktop app written in CoffeeScript/Javascript...what a freaking mess". Then I tried it and was pretty much blown away on how ni

Despite Atom's shortcomings that everybody knows about, I really like it and use it frequently. It has a huge number of high quality plugins (and some not so high). That said, eventually I see myself moving to vscode. Text editors a

Until recently, Gitter had some weird bug where it the process would be in the background after you closed it, and you thinking that it was gone, would try to fire up another one it would just go to a background process or something. But Gi

Regarding IRC... I started using Gitter a few months ago and have used various IRC clients for over 20 years. I was blown away on how much better the UX was in Gitter compared to IRC. The history, the notifications, the markup, the UI...
