I'm not sure if it is the causation but China took drastic restrictions on cryptocurrencies yesterday, and Chinese players IMHO held a big share of those cryptos. Also, people in China would call it "unplug" when exchanges go

I'm not referring to some specific changes. It's just there are many type operators already and still not enough to express JavaScript. In the earlier versions of TypeScript, I often stuck with something natural in JavaScript but

It could also be transitive: Scala inspired Kotlin and then Kotlin did the trick, I hope they could share the credit :)

Congratulations! I always have great respect for Scala because itself and the community tried to adopt and push the novel idea in the industry. Take a look at the changes, they're no joke to design and implement. At the same time, they

Sorry I wasn't being clear about this part. What I meant is a comparison: If there is an on-prem option, the release, the update/migration, the installation environment, and the documentation on deployment should be carefully craf

Sigh, it is a paradox. As a consumer, I want my software on-prem. But as a producer, I want to deploy as frequently as possible, so that I could iterate without friction, and I would try to avoid platforms/techs that are not hot upgrad

Lol, that's both a hilarious and great model for sure. But I wonder, it seems to me doomers lost their fuck faster. Is it because they have fewer initial fucks? Or is it because they lose fuck overtime even if they don't a fuck ab

> what you want to have in your new location, or what you are running away from. Agreed, that's definitely the idea. It's just I found many people stuck with the stereotypical idea of digital nomads who work in Bali, all sunshi

Sorry for being not clear, by the network I meant the Internet connection. I would try to Google first to have a general idea, there are usually many complaints if the connection is bad or problematic. Also, websites like Nomad List scores

I was fancying all those digital nomads crowded places. But after I thought about it seriously, I found there are a lot of wonderful domestic places (or nearby countries if you're living in a small country). Usually, those places speak

Nice update on the error message! Speaking of error message. I love that Erlang gives the exact parameter values in the call stack. (I guess this is generally possible because immutable data structures are enforced in the whole language?) I

I'm generally on your side. Functional style and composition are better styles than inheritance since inheritance is too rigid for most things. Inheritance often results in substantially more refactors required, and possibly even worse

Because there's latency. It wouldn't be distracting if there's no latency at all because it feels natural even if the code is in stale shapes. I use Wallaby[0] to run JavaScript tests, and it shows the result on the fly just

by namelosw 5y ago
I have tried both ways, and I agree with what you've said. It's not faster than hot-reloading, and it's not faster than TDD either given the tests run super fast. Both are not too hard to achieve in the JavaScript world. Howe

TBH I'm not sure if it is a good idea for teams. For me, the idea of being offline is just a way to: 1. Get away with distractions 2. make side projects enjoyable and avoid burnout because it doesn't feel like another job 3. make

It is very interesting to me that components in OTP like GenServer, Register, and Supervisor are surprisingly intuitive if one tries to learn and play Erlang first, but not so obvious and possibly looks artificial if people don't learn

Maybe there could be creative solutions to the problem. In China for example, domestic EV startups are trying to come up with standards on swappable batteries. If the ideas work, it could be a separation of car companies, and battery subscr
