Im fairly security conscious (conscious, as in I see it, but it doesn't mean I care...case by case basis). I use a password manager, all my passwords are separate, Im very careful who I give which piece of data to, etc. On the other ha

Whiteboarding is definitely an important skill...just not writing code on a whiteboard :) Drawing boxes and arrows however? Totally different story.

This is it, and definitely step 1. Step 1: Let's agree that this is a complicated problem, and that quick feel good knee jerk reactions may end up having negative impacts. Step 2: Work on solutions to complicated problems. Easier said

As mentioned, the type system is much, MUCH stronger (you basically can't get runtime errors at all unless you put debugging statements in). The redux-like (well, more like redux is elm-like) is baked into the type system so you know i

As the manager of a half remote team at a company that supports it, but isn't 100% remote... To me, it comes down to a couple of things. - Have you proven you are a good remote communicator (eg: if you're always doing private mess

It still really does: the remote offices might have self contained teams, managers, etc. So only cross team collaboration has to handle remote boundaries. With remote workers, it's all interactions.

Possible! But there's also the whole "gambling is addicting" thing. Some of these games pray on the vulnerable to make their dough. Alternatively, it also leverages the rich vs poor divide. In gacha games for example, you&#x2

When I ran the numbers for my home back in the days, it more or less came out to a pessimistic 15%/year investment (give or take, it's been a while and memory is shaky. Your millage may vary depending on your power costs). You mig

Reading the article, the problem is that they used one of those companies with annoying business models to finance the solar panels somehow and you get some, but not all, of the benefits. People in the community I live in are pushing those

It's not to get a stream so much as it is to get automatic aborts in mergeMaps and such. Amazing for things like auto-complete from an API as you type.

fetch is very bleh, so that's not a high bar. What I'd love to see is more Observable-based offerings in that space... RxJS has some rudimentary client, but seeing that pushed further would be great.

An abstraction that doesn't properly hide what's under the hood and requires people to still be aware of it. That's exactly what TS is.

Different topic than unit tests, but also if its in the public interface of your code and you don't control all callers, you might need those assertions anyway (since they could be invoked from non-TS code, or they could have been cast

sourcemaps are buggy as hell though (browser's devtools, and just generally the specification's problem, not TS's), and a lot of devtool features don't work with them. Debugging non-trivial problems with sourcemaps on is

It's leaky in the sense that you can bypass it. If I flag something as private in TS, there's nothing stopping a "any" somewhere from making it writable, for example.

They're not necessary in JS either. You'd presumably have at least some tests in the form of "Give these input, get that output". By checking that output, you pretty much confirm its the right type at the same time. I&#x

Yeah for sure. I suppose the point i was trying to make is that these days, game quality and revenue have virtually no correlation. Marketing pretty much matters more (unless you pull a No Man Sky), but that's not new. These days thoug

yeah, going up is obviously fine, but it quickly becomes your new normal. Going back down is...painful. Even for simple things. I grew up without A/C in an apartment with leaky windows that would get way too cold at night. Never bother

With a few exceptions when studios were much smaller, it was always about maximizing ROI. They just didn't have good delivery mechanisms at the time (yay cartridges!), and they didn't know what they know today (DLC and microtransa

I lost a few teeth because of lack of dental insurance in Canada. Some companies provide it as a benefit, but they're far and few in between. It's not too surprising, either: since you have universal healthcare, a lot more compani

I think part of the problem is that the impact for individuals is also decreasing. Right now, if you want to know my email, my address, my SSN and the name of my family members, you can find it in some torrent file somewhere on the internet
