Something that isn't clear to me: Why, exactly, is it so much faster than even its own build tool(swc)? In other words, what's speeding up here isn't build speed, but the ability to download the updated changes. Right? Or am

Atom practically invented the kind of extensions that VSCode had, and even several years into VSCode's life Atom far outstripped it in Extensions. Perf became the biggest problem however, which VSCode took over.

Then please, illuminate me. Because the implications of Luhmann's use of the Zettelkasten weren't widely available till the last decade, and weren't available in software until the same period. So what exactly don't I kn

I love the shift in focus, specifically toward what your organizational goals are. However, it isn't clear to me where many of these metrics are coming from- are they manually input, or is it possible to connect them to a data source?

I'm not sure it's elitism to be looking for type-system features that are well-over a decade old and generally non-controversial and considered vast positives. I don't think they necessarily need to go crazy in this regard(as

Are you for real? Crypto right now, while being used by under 1% of population use, uses 40% of the energy of the global banking system[1]. In other words, if it were to increase to even 10% of the population using it, it would use over 4x

Do you have any data to back that up? In the case listed above, they have reason to report in insurance claims, yet it isn't manifesting there either.

I think it gets pretty close, but admittedly its handling of unknown objects is just downright bad. Also, somehow, the tooling for it has one of the best features around(compiling to readable JS), but all other tooling is completely absent,

I generally agree with everything you're saying, after extensive use of Typescript. Its safety guarantees usually only help within extremely tight bounds, and there's surprisingly little that it catches that couldn't be infer

It's worth calling out that the TechEmpower benchmarks have been flawed as long as they've had Erlang/Elixir on them. People keep submitting changes and they keep refusing to implement them.

I mean, if you're somehow under the false impression that people were more cordial in these disagreements in the past, I don't know what to tell you. One of the largest popular phenomenons in the new millenium is a musical based o

I'd disagree on both notions- while my beliefs are firmly held, I also try to question them regularly. The reason they're firmly held is that they've managed to stand up to what scrutiny I've tried them against, repeated

What happened to the concept of being proud of your beliefs and ensuring they align with the lifestyle you lead? The nebulous fear so many have seems rooted either in not thinking through the problem of so-called "cancel culture",

While 20,000 is a hell of a number per year, it's worth noting that we're not 100% sure it's only 40 innocent bystanders- for example, in this case it wouldn't have been deemed as such if the boyfriend hadn't surviv

Isn't this largely what Patreon is, though? And there's a lot of people who are doing surprisingly well off of Patreon despite low subscriber counts. I'd think the trick is to find the right niche- if you're too generic,

I remember using Mirage back when I was an Ember developer. Everything else seemed so backwards in comparison, and honestly still does. I'm definitely interested in trying this out.

Parcel's been around for well over a(two?) year(s) now and actually instigated a lot of change and refinement in the bundler market. Most now have zero-config options available, either as a result of Parcel coming on the scene, or with

You understand that an "average" means that many skew higher, often much higher, right? If anything, this shows most ancient civilizations were measured in decades, not centuries. But some did go thousands.

At the same time, on a giant project, I'm finding VSCode's performance starts to fall apart completely where Atom performs the exact same as before. For example- it's not uncommon for Vim mode in VSCode to just stop functioni

Yes, web developers. Elixir is primarily a network systems language, and generally, the Ruby, Javascript, Python, etc communities use Postgres/Redis. Obviously it isn't universal, but there are obvious analogies(MySQL, etc).
