So I could mark my code unsafe and be able to prototype faster , then later when it's time to ship , remove unsafe and fix the smaller issues ?

Stupid question, but will Rust ever have a non strict mode. I'm used to writing C# , Python and JS. Rust seems to be overally punishing

I would blame the pandemic for this. With many young people moving back home this business was doomed. . Their doesn't need to be a VC backed solution to every problem. If you need to rent a room you should be in direct contact with t

I'm being a bit tongue in cheek , you can get round trip flights to London for 400$ or so. No one should die due to an inability to pay. Even if you have a great job , you can still lose it

At a point wouldn't it be cheaper to hop on a flight to London , and check yourself into a hospital ? I know if I wasn't upper middle class I'd likely be skipping medicine right now. NHS style healthcare should be a human rig

I would also love to see more regulation around the same company owning several brands which appear to compete with each other. For example their's only a handful of big tech recruiting firms, one of which has at least 4 brands which a

Will definitely consider this. One issue maybe that I do get invited to a handful of events. How exactly does this work. No longer having a public page , but people being able to contact me would be great .

I'll do that soon , but too many of my friends ( real life people, I haven't meet anyone from the internet in over 4 years) only can contact me on FB. I do my best to limit my use of FB services

I feel like it would be vastly easier to just not offer WiFi. Many coffee shops turn it off on weekends , to "encourage socialization"( as in stop people from sitting around for hours ).

Needs to ship with an editor ( or a vs code extension). One of the biggest issue is just validating the actual data

Great. I'm always open to being proved wrong. Any chance of JS being mostly Babel free by next year ?

Doesn't typescript force Babel ?

>They're there because popular packages like Babel, Webpack, ESLint and others chose to use NPM modules to organize themselves, instead of using function and classes like everything else. You can't build anything without Babel

The Node standard library doesn't do enough compared to Python. Python in a locked down environment ( you can't just install whatever you want ) isn't bad. Node is a nightmare without being able to install various packages fr

Anything you want to do. Generic going out meetups tend to be very strange, and socially awkward. Before Corona hit I would go to tech meetups and board gaming meetups. I'd specifically warn against going to a Meetup thinking that you&

From my comment >I've found Meetup to work very well for getting out of the house. That's already a technical solution to this problem. I've seen startups which appear to be meetup alternatives as well.

I was thinking before Corona, last year was very good for me. Once you realize social media is mostly fake validation seeking behavior you can decide if that's what you want . Ends up being tons of stress and mental anguish for nothing

I really liked Chicago. The people are earnest , hard working and straight forward. Exact opposite of the snakes I encountered in LA. The bitter cold isn't that bad, it stops tent cities from taking over. The El is fast and cheap. The
