'Intentionally splinter' is a likely and interesting answer. Mastodon.social (the main site, with about 40K users) has now actually closed for registrations, so users are going to Mastodon.xyz, Mastodon.club, or one of the many ot

While https://Mastodon.social registrations are closed to keep the site up during the flood, it's all open-source and federated, so you can equivalently join https://mastodon.club or https://mastodon.

It's interesting. I agree the world would be easier and better if we could create trade deals without these extra rules. My impression is that they're all necessary parts of fair deals though. > Nor would I assume that agreemen

I'm in a similar position: I've recently left (to Spain, working remotely) originally temporarily, but the further this goes the less tempted I am to ever head home. That said, this is all anecdotal. Still, while anecdotes aren&#x

Generally, if you have a lot of cash to start with, this is not a terrible idea. It doesn't need to be property though. Investing in the stock market is almost as profitable (10% avg annual return, vs 11%) but less volatile ( http:&#x2

Obviously, I spent far too much time building my own cli tool to manage them in nice simple text format: https://github.com/pimterry/notes . Don't ask how I kept notes on the implementation process.

Embracing open-source. The vast majority of the code I write at resin.io isn't just disappearing into some black hole to make the company money, tied to the companies decisions and destiny. It's public, so others can find and use

Really? That's pretty surprising - I live in Barcelona, and I use cards 99% of the time, and in the UK it was even easier. Even taxis here have card machines, and every small shop definitely does. The only holdouts are the occasional t

Maybe, but I think there's a lot of cases where you want to be able to use 'any' explicitly. Tsc does already have noImplicitAny, so you have to have opted in to this behaviour.

by pimterry 10y ago
That would defeat the point of 'any', right? It's for variables that you want to allow to do anything (including be a T) without the compiler complaining. If you don't want that behaviour, don't given x 'any&#x

You do tell TypeScript which runtime you're targeting, and that's how it decides how to compile it. You either set `target` in your tsconfig.json, or you provide `--target` on the command line. Docs: https://www.typescr

This is tragic; I was waiting on a Time 2, but looks like no longer. What else is around in this niche now? Are there other relatively cheap, simple smart watches with good battery life that I should be looking at instead?
