Do you have a specific example of code that's hard to annotate in TypeScript? I've been using it for about a year without major issues (except somewhat slow compile times).

The more Fulton Sheen shows I watch, the more I realize that Idiocracy doesn't have to continue to become a documentary. But that's going to require a moral change, especially among our youth. That's not the main reason I stu

Our outward appearance can and do represent what values we identify with. But saying "I'm worthy because I am beautiful" is shallow, which is just another way of saying empty, vain, and without substance. Besides, why would s

"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." The words vanity and vain come from the Latin word for empty, or without substance or value. When we alter our appearance, it's because we put value or merit in something that inherently h

In my experience, the only people who get offended at good-natured "political incorrectness" are people who have a social or political agenda that political correctness is part of.

We need a moral change more than anything else. Otherwise nobody will be motivated enough. Not all the information in the world will convince someone who doesn't care. I used to be a bit baffled how people could say "fake news&quo

The fact of its author and its extremely recent release date give this library significantly more credibility than any other similar "embedded JS" library. It may possibly be the best one available to date.

It seems to me life is meant to be lived most with the people you live near. No matter how much technology improves the ability to communicate long distances, it's never the same as being with those people. So maybe it does mean visiti

The community argument isn't actually compelling. It creates "ghost-like" relationships, where you don't really know someone anymore and haven't for years, but act like you're still best friends, with occasiona

That’s probably not a bad thing. We have the benefit of hindsight of decades of GUI management and it probably isn’t more than a weekend project to get a baseline library worked out to build cool things (like awesomewm and i3 and dwm) off o

In what ways is it handier? I've never heard of benefits of Lisp-2. Whereas Lisp-1 is more intuitive to those who know JavaScript/Lua/etc.

Lisp-1 is pretty much the model JavaScript uses. Lisp-2 is what Emacs uses and it requires some extra features/functions to do functional programming.

The main feature Go was missing that took away most of the usefulness of writing a Lisp in it was FFI. If you can't dynamically get identifiers (constants, functions, variables) by a string at runtime, you lose most of the interesting

When people reject novelty theories like this, it's usually because basic intelligence tells us it's so unlikely to be either true or useful that it's not worth considering.

That sums up my experience. It's hard to find good quality docs, that's up-to-date and not just a beginner's intro that doesn't answer my questions. The only other alternative usually seems to end up being man-pages or

To be honest, I don't remember exactly what feature it was. Just that I couldn't easily encapsulate a 2d grid of "replaceable" cells. This was like 4-5 months ago and the only documentation we had on C++ at the time was

It sounds like a great use of interfaces, but what is Go-specific about it? Couldn't the same thing be done in Java? (And I imagine it probably already has.)

That's exactly what I aim to find out. But I don't feel very comfortable trying it on a client project, not yet at least. Having written in many statically and dynamically typed languages, I feel like I should have already come to
