Bun doesn't even support a way to check types, just remove them. > Note — Similar to other build tools, Bun does not typecheck the files. Use tsc (the official TypeScript CLI) if you're looking to catch static type errors.

For small projects you can also add something like Watchtower to your compose file and then you need only build and push the image. And I assume you want to be building once to test your changes anyways, so you really only need to push.

The React versioning is a bit silly, but React 15 was the first major version (in 2016) which makes it more like 4 major releases in 9 years. Not that different from 8 major releases over 20 years.

Not the original commenter - It has just been a pretty low effort drop in replacement for me. It's definitely not a complete game changer, but quick iteration is just that bit more convenient since it's faster and I don't nee

If you consider the so-called Byzantines to be Romans (and you should, for lots of reasons), the Roman state was at least a notable regional power all the way from the mid 300s BCE all the way up to 1204 - that's around 1500 years. And

No, it was actually in a (obscure scientific) garbage collected language. The syntax was roughly: `allOrbitFiles = allOrbitFiles + currentOrbitFiles`. I believe what was roughly happening under the hood was: 1. Allocate an array `tmp` of si
