Very strange to compare async/await to promises when it is just a part of promises. There are rare situations where promise callbacks might be easier to read but those are more edge cases and a matter of personal preference.

Ad blockers are so good that I nearly forgot about this experience.

Unbelievable! It looks like the prog I made in 6th grade is on there. Gotta download into a VM to make sure it’s mine and not someone using the same name. I’ll update this thread when I know.

The punter/proggie scene definitely got me into programming. Articles like this bring such a special kind of nostalgia. It was both educational and for me at the time, it was very rebellious. My parents did not want me downloading any

There were email punts as well that would crash the app if opened. It was very entertaining as a child to punt someone on your buddy list and hear the door slam as they repeatedly tried to open an email with a too good to be true subject li

Even better was that if you looked at the logs it would show the hidden credentials for dialing in. You could copy those and create your own dial up connection without using the app at all

Not too long ago I was still supporting old versions of IE because employees for large chain we built software for would not allow them to upgrade their computers

This worked great in my area. It was hard enough to make it fun but not too hard. I got a score above 90% so I’m stoked

Not sure if you meant this literally or figuratively but it does appear to be a different codebase primarily in TypeScript vs JS (Jisti meet). I didn't dig enough to see if it was fork or not but it doesn't look like a white label

To me one of the biggest distinctions here is the overuse of the term "App". I agree that a lot of websites written as an SPA were the wrong tool for the job. There are tons of examples besides the mentioned media websites where S

Please don’t feel guilty asking what information a company like Amazon knows about you. They have the engineering, human and computing resources to make this as scalable as it needs to be. If anything you’ll be creating more jobs for people

Simply, it works some % of the time greater than 0 and it costs close to nothing to send it.

Very cool, I was experimenting with a similar implementation of this a few years back. We were using a browser extension to handle the posting to the profile for you. However, we noticed that that profile was cached on the server so you wou

I’ve never seen such a large ratio of downvoted comments on a thread. I guess I’m not surprised by how polarizing the subject is. I guess I just thought this was a safe place to be contrarian and not just downvote ideas that are not on your

If it came from a lab then it was caused by overaction. If it came from the wild then you are right. That’s the reason people want to know

Yes I believe the article is suggesting exactly that. Even with that header users will still hit that latency on the first request. If the goal is to lower latency on first page load then that won’t help. Although it should definitely help

Multiply by the number of employees mostly saturated in a radius around the office. Perhaps still not a big impact but surely noticeable if that's your neighborhood.

I wish I could separate decentralized database from volatile investment. I understand that it can provide an incentive to get paid for essentially hosting part of the database. Is your average person benefiting from this or did we just give

Another thing to consider is one less dash, per employee, available for the dashers who might need the money. Perhaps there are not enough to be significant but if you dash by the office I bet you’ll notice.

Is this more a matter of preference? Some people feel it is more expressive, others feel it is too verbose. Some people prefer the object oriented design principles, others are turned off by them and really just want structs. I agree the si

I actually know Go very well. Wrote it for years. I like learning languages and using them in all kinds of different ways. I see a lot of overlap with Go and Rust. My interest in Rust is the small runtime and potential code reusability betw

I’ve been really diving into Rust over this holiday break and reading through code bases like this is really helpful. Little things like a shared db connection are not intuitive on the first pass when everything is under such a strict borr

I have worked on React applications that felt tedious and boring and I’m currently working on a React app that is very satisfying. For me it’s the product and who uses it vs what tech stack. If you work on something that you (and many of yo

It sounds like they were doing more than just not being actively harmful. They were actively helpful but we can only speculate on their motive.

I was really hoping to see Apple acknowledging that they were helping rather than assuming based on code changes that make it seem like they are. However, happy to see the direction this is going. I’m grateful for the work of both sides.

I understand where you are coming from and something like you just mentioned would be a nice feature. However, it does seem worth mentioning that most people are not going to want to write code in web assembly text format. The current tooli

I found the book The Art Of Web Assembly [1] to really help me understand it better. A lot of other books seem to focus on a specific part of the tool chain. This one shows you all of the examples in web assembly text language. While I woul
