This looks interesting. Can't wait to give it a listen! Has anyone already done so? Reviews?

Distrubted wasm runtime sounds interesting. Would you mind sharing a link to it? :)

Since the comments on the Gist are almost exclusively in agreement, here is a rare one that adds a sobering touch: https://gist.github.com/richhickey/1563cddea1002958f96e7ba95...

Pretty neat. The scroll snapping makes creating a scrollable image carousel super easy.

IIRC Tim Berners-Lee also rather amusingly called himself a "Web Developer" at a conference.

Cool article. I definitely agree that SQLite is the way to go in 99% of the cases you're making some kind of app. I have often seen Postgres, MySQL and MongoDB in places where they were really overkill and added unnecessary network and

There should be a clickable "unvote" above the comment if you wish to do so. Regarding anything else about how Hacker News works, I found this quite useful: https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumente

Just you wait until Lars Bak [0] gets hired by some company to make a fast WebAssembly runtime. Until that happens I won't take any performance comparisons of WASM vs. X seriously :). [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Interesting. I can relate to the urge of correcting typos as they are produced. This only happens to me when I see the text though. I have come to look away from the text input or simply close my eyes to fight that urge. Right now, as I w

I'm still in awe that this is real. It's almost like they intentionally chose the worst style, tone and words to write a rebuttal...

This is petty outrage material. If you're having a good day, don't read this. You'll miss nothing.

This video is fantastic, especially if you've never really understood how Unicode worked before. Keeps it simple and gets to the point. I remember seeing this a couple of years ago and thinking "If only this existed when I learned

While I can agree with some of the points made while gritting my teeth, the way this is written somehow puts me off. It feels as though the author has taken an authoritive, slightly condescending stance towards his readers. The message it s

Isn't this an artifact of the age of C? When it was first created it was a major concern to support every architecture, so they put it in the standard. I don't think anyone has wanted to go through the pain of removing it ever sin

I can understand where the confusion comes from, but I think it's a matter of context. I would never have thought that they would want to build a runtime that runs TS directly. The effort would just be insane. Hence the implied step th

I was quite surprised that this website seems to use a self-made map viewer. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but it feels like by now everyone either just uses Google Maps and a minute, hardy fraction uses something based on OSM.

If it helps, I think this is the main source of misinformation: https://startfunction.com/deno-will-stop-using-typescript/ It featured on HN some time back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23592483

Clicking around the website and reading more comments leads me to believe that this is the product they intend to monetize with: https://deno.com/deploy I still find it strange that there is no mention of it in the post...
