Yikes. I thought I mentioned this, thanks!

You don't even need the waterworld reference. There is a great series of books (and now a TV show) where "Belters" are space adapted humans. It turns into an interesting, if not pretty depressing, racism problem between tho

Both blackmail and homicide are uncommon in prison. Suicide in prison is very, very common. The wealthy and powerful being above the law and getting sweetheart deals by prosecutors who are more obsessed with not losing and not working hard

Suicide is as high as a third of all prison deaths depending on facility. Homicide is like 2-4%. The claim that someone entered a locked prison cell, killed Epstein, and then left without getting caught is the definition of extraordinary. I

I hate to be boring, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which so far has not been presented. My brother in law is an attorney who literally makes a career out of the deaths and injuries that result from the incredible

On my phone I installed Firefox mobile using DDG default search about a year ago. But, whoops, it's a Pixel and so I occasionally use the OS's Google search. I've not noticed a difference in result quality since the switch.

I started using Firefox Android a year ago and now I can't stand chrome and all the Ads! Ublock origin on Firefox mobile is a godsend.

This assumes acceptance of a few premises that are not stated, significantly, that "all of group X disregards all opposing arguments as [a priori] irrational". I reject that premise holds true for all X. I am always suspicious, i

This isn't wrong. But it's oversimplified and in practice in the US obviousness arguments have a low likelihood of success, lower if it gets too a jury trial. You are much better off defending again infringement suits with novelty

Maybe this is because I'm a "developer[] unfamiliar with class-based OO paradigms" but I find hooks components easier to read later. You start at the top, read to the bottom, and assuming you can catch crazy indirection with

There's something that warms my heart about Chromium using "wtf" as a "protocol message". The chromium bug report is here, for the curious: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues&#x2F

But to be clear, yes, interop with regular JavaScript and JSON is a bit of a pain in the butt. Bucklescript has lots of helpers but it's definitely the place where the soundness of the type system has broken down for me in the past.

by pkilgore 7y ago
No. Reason (bucklescript really) maps to the full range of a data structures. So use a dict as a dict, a record as a record, an array as an array...etc. It will map back to what makes the most sense in the JS world. As opposed to JS, wher

In what ways does it fix my major issues with bucklescript (simple interop with JS libraries / object / output, promises, async/await being highest on the list).

This is a very good point and I'm glad my other comment isn't the only one bringing it up. Frankly, of the time I spend reading documentation for my (Web) project right now it breaks down into 5% reason-urql (thanks, BTW, can&#x27

I'm building a project in ReasonML right now with reason-react. The Reason-only parts are actually a joy. The problem is interop with the wider ecosystem, and bucklescript. They are serious problems. You end up writing a ton of [@bs.

You'll discover the people that really care about you will find a way, and that you're largely better off without the people who dont.
