Which fallacy? I don't understand.

I don't think you understand Dart's type system. It has “dynamic”, which is equivalent to “any”! Dart's type system is worse because you can pass in null for any type at any time. This circumvents any sense of type safety you

How can you recommend Dart when it has globally nullable types?

Thanks, I had forgotten about those.

Aside from type annotations, TS only has one superset feature (decorators). It's already behind a flag.

I'm not comparing Dart to an SML. If you want something to compare to, TypeScript is the pragmatic package you're looking for. It makes major steps in the right direction.

That all makes sense, but it's disappointing to see that Dart is no better than Java in type safety. Every type is nullable (the billion dollar mistake), and the type system is too weak to support mildly advanced data modeling without

Should I be worried about thief drones? If a drone can deliver a package, surely another drone can steal it too?

Also consider flems.io , a similar evaluate-as-you-type but for JS, HTML, and CSS.

There are four tones. The poem has 33 unique words.

That's just spoken language. There are many words that are "literary", which means they are used primarily in writing and not spoken language. Without hanzi it would be very difficult to understand what is written.

Maybe https://donorbox.org would be better for those small projects?

Can someone explain why raw_tail was necessary in the add_to_tail function?

Just to throw in my anecdote, I've been paying for a personal account for 8 years. It'll be interesting to see where Microsoft goes with this.

Oh right, I saw that. The reason I forgot about it is because I couldn't find a connection between that and the example code written in several languages.

Is there an example video somewhere on how this looks in usage?

I think you need to stop making personal jabs. I never said the past was perfect – that's a strawman. But it's self-evident that companies on average used to think contrary to what Freidman was proposing. That's why he wa

This is called the Freidman Doctrine [1], and didn't exist until 1970. Before this stupid idea got popular, companies were actually concerned with how their actions impacted society. They weren't the souless profit-seeking machi

It sounds like you're describing flutter. But that's not quite a web technology either.

Not necessarily. Have you ever tried cancelling a cable or internet service over the phone?

Lack of sleep might not stop you from succeeding, but it can make you think slower, have poorer memory, get sick easier, eat more than you should, look older, and be more prone to depression and anxiety. Please read "Why We Sleep&quo

This is tangential, but I highly disapprove of any encouragement to stay up late. Sleep is incredibly important for the entirety of the body. It's always better to get well-rested over a small amount more work done (which you'll e

Express and Hapi seem simpler than the Serverless framework you're replacing it with. You have to specify that one more thing [0] anyway, don't you? I honestly don't see how this is simpler. [0] https://github.com

Usable, with a worse user experience, to what end? It would be nice to have more non-js built-in browser behavior, though.

An hour a day at the gym is no substitute for working on your posture throughout your waking hours. It'll help, sure, but it's not even 10% of your day, even less so of your week.

Your comment doesn't offer a rebuttal other than "you haven't lived in such a town". I'd be interested in hearing more.

A deterministic Python dialect is indeed very cool. I've dabbled in writing a deterministic language myself. Syntax highlighting and formatting is nice, but I think error reporting is more important for the end user. Zaml auto-validate
