I actually love this. I don't foresee it replacing JS|TS for major app development but this looks like the perfect fit for a certain subset of SPAs. The syntax does a wonderful job of describing exactly what is needed for that subset o

That's not really a good argument against calling it niche. A lot of numerical computing done from Python is actually run through Fortran and some of your OS is almost certainly written in raw assembly language. That doesn't mean

Why the push back? I'm not a designer but these look just as interactable as anything from Material Design

It depends on the switches. A significant percentage of people in my office use the Apple keyboards and they're definitely louder than my Cherry MX Silent Red switches. I don't even have o-rings on them and they're almost com

The engineers I know and work with tend to keep talking to a minimum. The smartest of them often forget to explain concepts to us mere mortals in their quest for short, simple information transfer. I guess what I'm saying is that you c

Look in to Cherry MX Silent Red switches. I got a custom board made with those switches for ~$300. You can find cheaper ones but this is a specialty one. The keys are quieter than my mouse buttons and are comfortable to type on.

I think you missed the part where they said you don't need classes for POJOs and models i.e. things which only contain data and do nothing else. If you want methods that operate against the inner data of an object then totally write cl

Minor note: it's not accurate to say that node is a web server. Web servers are frequently built with node but node is also used for CLIs, graphical applications, parsers, compilers, etc.

That's not fair to the devs. Plenty of devs would love to share their code but the companies they develop for prevent them from doing so for obvious reasons.

So let's follow it to the end. Who first started using slashes that way and why?

I know that Stack Overflow is not representative of developers at large but as of 2018[1] most developers on Stack Overflow use "simple" editors. 1: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018#technology-_-

Am I using stars wrong? I have starred 771 projects on GitHub. To me, a star means anything from "I use this" to "I think this is a cool project". Giving $10 a month to 771 projects would result in about a penny for each

Stuff like this is why I've become a huge advocate for automatic formatting tools. If you can set rules for naming conventions, line breaks, etc. then it significantly cuts down on the minutia arguments. It doesn't fix everything,

It's also terrible for searchability. Love the mission, hate the name

Seriously. I love Github but I don't know how to feel about a megacorp becoming the de facto source for packages in the open source ecosystem. It could be great but many of us thought that consolidating all of our social activities und

I don't know anyone who writes professional level code that uses packages like that. Sure, they exist. I'm sure you could find other simple, funny packages across other ecosystems. Yes, the micro-packages can be too granular but t

It makes it easy to distribute tools and libraries. There are security concerns but for something like this, it seems like a fine distribution method. No one is stopping you from just cloning the repo if you don't want to use npm thoug

YAML is a mess of a language but what's wrong with npm?

It may not be fair but it's true. Testing for Safari is such a hassle in my Windows and Android dominated world.

I recently moved to a company that uses Jira. What kinds of problems should I be looking out for?

I'd like to second the sentiment. My only complaint about my new job is that I can't bring my Ergodox (we have strict security requirements on external hardware due to handling sensitive medical data). At my last job, I used it ev

When I look up MMR I get "measles, mumps, and rubella." I assume that isn't what you're referring to.

Like many developers, I have benefit a lot from Stack Overflow over the years. It has helped me become a better developer and, in answering questions, a better communicator. I just want to say thanks to Joel for helping make this thing happ

Looks like a great almost-drop-in replacement for React. Have you performed any benchmarks for performance against React or other VDOM based libraries? Have you had any issues with debugging when something goes wrong in a component?

Seconding this. I'm a wannabe hobbyist type designer and I found FontForge to be prohibitively difficult to use. I'm sure it's wonderful once you sink in the many hours needed to learn it but I just want to drag around vector

Oh sure, I was never arguing for that. I'm just saying that you need to at least attempt to triage your emails. You can at least make the conscious decision of "I'm not going to deal with this email." However, I will say

I had a roommate like that. The man missed out on a number of important opportunities because he just plain never checked his email. These people exist and it bothers me

Cool, I had no idea! So it'd be more accurate to say that this is a cousin to the predecessor to WinForms haha.
