Replying to myself because it is too late to edit: thinscript isn't exactly typescript, it has some extra features and doesn't attempt full js compatibility, but they are very similar.

Here's something a bit like that, it turns TypeScript into JS, WASM and C, very early but interesting - https://github.com/evanw/thinscript

Here's a typed objects system for JS which uses ArrayBuffers for backing storage, in future it will also support SharedArrayBuffer - https://github.com/codemix/reign (disclaimer: I wrote this).

Let's just say that coupling this preference with the name "standard" is an extremely contentious decision (search the github issues).

Falcon Heavy is late, but making Falcon Heavy economical means making all of the 3 F9 first stages it uses reusable. They haven't cracked that yet, they've got 2 good landings and a lot of data, but it's far from certain whet

The implication is that driving over the speed limit is likely, on average, to be less fuel efficient than obeying it. Due to the laws of human nature, very few people drive significantly below the speed limit, and very few people prioritis

If an implementation of raft is susceptible to split brain then it is not raft, it's something else. Please read the literature rather than dismissing it, no one owes you any further explanations and no one is handwaving or appealing t

I think the reality is a mixture of both, the lazy, incompetent programmers are under pressure to ship too!

Yeah it's really similar, not just in premise, the writing style really reminded me of the narration in that awesome film.

Agree that this is the exact opposite of my experience as a contractor in the UK. I work as a contractor because the money is much better and because I have access to a wide variety of interesting projects. In the UK the contractors have

I think cubano is referring to the mindset that "it's better to skip over 100 good people than to hire one bad apple" which is very silly but a common attitude in certain kinds of organisation.

You don't have to. The tools which worked 10 years ago still work today. The tools which worked 5 years ago still work today. No one forces you to switch to the new hotness, people choose to.

I mean you're technically correct, but how long will that take? The earth is large and we have not covered even a fraction of 1% of it with landfill. It's unlikely that we'd actually run out of space in practice, it'd

Gremlin is a practical query language designed for developers and has very little (maybe zero) usage in academia. SparQL is the more established option which does get some academic (and production) usage, particularly as a lot of research o

Query language isn't a requirement but exposing the capability to do those kinds of selects / filtering operations is. It doesn't have to support Dijkstra's algorithm but it should be possible to implement it (efficientl

perhaps this is a terminology issue, I'll admit that I'm too young to have used pre-relational graph databases, but presumably they have a way of navigating / jumping between documents/vertices, (presumably based on

by phpnode 11y ago
Not at all but maybe I'm not being clear. My definition of "graph database" is "a database which can efficiently represent graphs and offers functionality for traversing them, in order to allow queries such as 'fin

by phpnode 11y ago
We've never talked about Dijkstra as far as I recall. Your product doesn't support graphs any more than, say, mongodb does because ultimately all you are doing is loading an object from JSON and then sending it to the consumer. Th

We've had this discussion before but that product is not a graph database, it has no graph traversal features

It's not feasible because of cost and political will.

yes, you can do something like `HTMLing.registerElement('foo-bar', {})` and then when you use `<foo-bar />` in another template it will render it. I should note that I'm not maintaining this library very well becau

no, it's a way to share the same templating syntax on the client and server but isn't a full server side rendering solution. It's pretty fast though, just about the fastest templating engine out there last time I checked.

Here's a thing which tries to do that - https://github.com/codemix/htmling/

Honestly that was a very very bad idea for a startup.

I wrote a Babel plugin which brings a similar syntax to JavaScript, so you can write this: for (let i = 0; i < someVar; i++) { invariant: i < 10000; console.log(i); } along with other kinds of contract, lik

No I think those should work with async functions as it is literally just translating `async` -> `yield`, but worth investigating.

Babel can transform async functions into Bluebird coroutines, so the best of both worlds - https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-transform-async-t...
