Safari's JS support is pretty good, but CSS is wonky and various other things (like how cookies are handled) are different than all the other major browsers. So it will break on shit devs may not expect. Obviously that's the fault

It's still not very high though. I work on a product that supports Safari and we have like 4% usage. However, last time we introduced a bug that broke it completely (by accident), no one said anything for like, 2 months (it's a S

The typing is nice, but shit like enums are a plague in TS. Non-standard crap that will probably never be standard, and in some cases actually are present (in a compiled form) in the output. No, just no. And then you have all of the fun stu

Pretty simple really: lots of people learn Java or other languages with similar inheritance models in school or very early in their careers from books/peers. It takes a while, and it's used in a lot of places. JS style inheritance

How does that work for internal plugins? Webpack itself is essentially nothing BUT a stack of internal plugins (the webpack core does almost nothing, even internally). So how do you order plugins relative to other plugins you don't hav

by shados 9y ago
They're referring to how a lot of these plugins are features extracted from Nuclide and/or open sourced by Facebook.

Selling it means I can't live in it anymore. Renting is the ideal option, but if I'm 85 years old, maintaining a rental property or dealing with property managers would be tricky at best. (My actual goal with my current property i

Reverse mortgages are an option too, especially around retirement. I didn't do too much research and I'm sure on paper it's a scam, but with no kids and no one to really give the house to beyond charity when my wife and I kic

No argument there, but that's not what I'm arguing. Do you have to reach out for google or a book to do a simple if/else statement? What about a for loop? Now what about the difference between a map and a set? Likely not, it&

I totally agree. My point wasn't that the interviewing system was great. Just that the problem with it isn't what it's trying to test, but how. I have issues with people who dismiss the problem space entirely. "I don&#x2

While I have a lot of freedom at work to explore side projects and random stuff and I spend a lot of time doing so, there is a part of me that feels like there's a reason software engineers, at least in the US, are paid so damn much. T

100% this. My side projects are absurdly over engineered and I get nothing done. But I learn what not to do when it matters.

Someone else beat me to the joke of "turtles all the way down", but that's mostly it. I'll first refer to this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/JEG2/status/902534133427134465 Now, the reaso

Right. That will be nice when it's done and stable (I'm looking at you, Safari), but for my tests today that doesn't really help me.

and that actually works. Using headless chrome with the direct API is so much more reliable than the selenium API.

It's becoming more and more popular not to use a browser for unit tests. You do "pure" unit tests, which test most of the logic, computations and intention in nodejs, then rely on (usually just a few) E2E tests in selenium or

The relevent point IMO is the part about "10% perf improvement is a nice feature, a 10x one is invaluable". Essentially you have the svn branches vs git branch scenario here: svn branches were fast enough and people worked around

That would be an interesting way to fund and scale production capacity for that lab grown meat too. Some stuff is just hard to figure out until you try doing it at scale.

Just getting rid of the "Should we do Java style OOP vs favoring more FP patterns" argument can double you productivity right there ;)

if you make a simple backend thing, pick up rail and you're done, but you're essentially building something that's a solved problem. The frontend equivalent is dropping a script tag on a page and uploading it by FTP. But ther

4 players (edge, firefox, safari and chrome, and no the last 2 are no longer close). One of them, the usual suspect, is still dog slow to update. But even with that, wasm, service workers and other major changes don't come overnight. T

The fact that JavaScript and the web platform kind of sucks while at the same time being "unavoidable" is why it's so good. It forced a lot of very smart people and a lot of eyes onto the platform to try and find solutions wi

I was under the impression that was the idea behind the new webpack cli (though I haven't tried it). The main issue is generally that there isn't much of a consensus on toolchain. Are you using vanilla ES6 or TypeScript? If the fo
