here's a full example. If you do this: function test(p: {k: false | 'x' | 'y' | undefined}) { // do stuff } const p = {k: 'x'} // inferred type: {k: string} &#

Your problem there seems to mostly be that you tried to directly port it without any modifications, and your code is actually incorrect in some places. For example, if you implemented Result<T, E> as a single class that had a `if(this

Inside of type descriptions, literal values are always treated as literals. The problem only appears when you declare a variable _without_ an explicit type like `const foo = {k: 'x'}`, which the compiler then infers to be of type

True. My main problem is that blocking WebRTC blocks some very interesting methods to "re-decentralize" the web, which are only viable if most people don't have it disabled.

by phiresky 7y ago
The only thing blocking WebRTC gets you is that it hides which subnet you are on, right? As in, an attacker can still just enumerate all of the common ones (10.0.0.0/24, 192.168.0.1/24, and like 5 others) and get the same results

I would in fact argue that until we are at a point of diminishing return of improving hardware that it is good that software is becoming more and more "bloated", because that's the only incentive to keep researching more effi

Yes, this 450 line program could have been written in whatever native language you want with probably 3x the code and time spent, but why would you? Developer time has been more expensive than hardware for a decade now. Everyone here loves

True - which is kind of weird, because as far as I understand their respective "databases", borg would be more suited for arbitrary remote storage because it should only need a "upload file" command basically without any

Borg Backup is mostly the same as Restic (regarding dedup / incremental backup) [1] and aggregates data into large chunks. If you only backup from a single machine it has a local cache of already backed up data, this has the large adva

Also, you can apparently connect the puppeteer client to a running chrome instance [1]. That way you can use the nice and statically typed puppeteer api and you should have pretty much zero overhead. [1] https://github.com/G

You can run puppeteer with any chromium binary, including non-headless mode. You can also just start chromium with debugging active `--remote-debugging-port=9222` and then connect to that port and send any dev console commands.

SQLite does not support BLOBs larger than 2GB, so in that sense it's only as good as FAT32
