True, I should have said most of Western/Northern Europe, I guess. Edit: Actually, Europe is so diverse that any blanket statement is mostly worthless.

10k for the average developer (in Europe) sounds a bit too high, 4k a bit too low, but closer to what I would expect.

Tools like ESLint or prettier are really top-notch. TypeScript itself is a really nice language, too. Its type system is pretty powerful, more than one would expect certainly. Going from TypeScript to Kotlin feels like such a downgrade in t

I guess Observable as in RxJS Observable (or the likes). Similar to Promise which is now part of the standard.

Having written my own CommonMark parser, I often wonder if I should have used some kind of parser generator. Can I use this to parse CommonMark (in 100% compliant way)? – And, can I parse it such that I can recreate the original Markdown ba

I don't think the program itself needs elevated privileges, because it only reads from stdin and writes to stdout. I am running the interception tools as systemd service, though. I think the Intercepton Tools themselves need elevated p

Here is my layout for people who wonder how it is implemented. https://gist.github.com/renke/e08a6822df0e26b314288378db9d77...

I am pretty sure this is possible. The program called by Interception Tools can basically do anything (including being stateful), it just reads input events, rewrites it, ignores it, or raises entirely different input events etc. You could

I am also using a custom keyboard layout (basically the movement layer from the NEO layout + left alt → left ctrl, right alt → left alt, caps lock → esc). Initially it was implemented as xmodmap, then as xkb layout and finally as C program

React Portals could also help here, allowing you to still use context and the like.

I'd agree in general, but that hardly works for larger teams or even multiple teams. This can probably be solved by a good linting tool, but I am not too familiar with the state of linting in Kotlin.

I can't give specific examples, but something along the lines of suggesting to replace an early return in the form of `if (…)` by something like `… ?:return`. The former alternative makes it way easier to spot on first glance where the

For us particular, we heavily rely on fat frameworks like Spring (and sometimes Java EE) and there is nothing like that in TypeScript/JavaScript world. It boils down to not having classpath scanning, reflection and annotations in TypeS

TypeScript really hits the sweet spot for me. A good type system (real union types, which Kotlin lacks), barely any special syntax to remember but still powerful enough. I do want nominal typing sometimes, though. Although I must admit that

Kotlin really is good and definitely an improvement over Java, but in my experience (like ~1 year) the language itself makes writing unreadable code too easy; it also doesn't help that IDEs like IntelliJ Idea often suggest shorter yet

Reminds me of snapshot testings.

by renke1 6y ago
Integration tests can outlive refactorings. Unit tests rarely do. Delete your unit tests after your integration tests pass. At least those unit tests that heavily rely on stubbing.

I'v always liked the idea of literate programming, but I was always wondering how it actually feels in practice. Do they usual editor/IDE features still work like in a non-literate environment? – I assume it might work in Emacs, b

Is there some kind of whitelisting for queries that come from the client as to avoid the hammering the DB with expensive queries / queries that make no sense?

Thanks, Zapatos looks really nice. That library seems to be basically what I want (aside from writing SQL for joins, but I think it's just not possible in the way I imagined). The documentation is really nice. Much of what is written i

I didn't check those typings, but I don't think the model itself is type safe from the looks of it.

I didn't mean the `SELECT STAR` in a literal sense, but more like, please select only the stuff we need. But indeed with PgTyped, as far as I understand it, it wouldn't work because it creates interface from SQL queries. To achiev

That's hard to say, because I am not sure what I really want. …but let's say I have this result (from an arbitrary query). | user.id | user.name | post.id | post.title | +---------+-----------+---------+------------+ | 1

Thanks, I'll check it out. But on first glance it doesn't seem to let me write actual SQL queries. Also, it doesn't seem to be typesafe, or is it?

by renke1 6y ago
Looks pretty cool. What I really want though is a library that let's me write plain SQL queries which are then mapped into nested objects in a smart way without too much manual work (I know Postgres can do JSON stuff, but the queries l

Those branding guidelines are formulated vaguely in my opinion: What colors are allowed for certain button states (hover, focus, etc)? Do I really have to use Roboto? etc. The assets are also not a good foundation to build a customized (ye

I can't recommend OpenAPI/Swagger-based code generation at all based on my experience working with it. I've only used it for Java, Kotlin and TypeScript, but the generated code (usually more then you asked for) only works lik

I am also using RxJS in React. I created a few hooks to make it life a bit easier. While I think it's useful for my use cases, I have the feeling a deeper integration would be even more useful (although I don't know how exactly th
