That's weird, how then do other languages manage to solve importing packages/modules cleanly without requiring that the name of the package include the version number, while still allowing developers to specify exactly which v

If the framework is open-source, then I'd think it could be forked even if it gets killed. The problem then would be if there are some changes in Android that are incompatible with the framework, rendering it no-longer-usable.

Yeah, there's no reason you have to use Snap. You can even use flatpak on Ubuntu (I've just started trying that out myself).

The article omits some major influential JS projects over the years that folks have already pointed out (Backbone, Coffeescript, Underscore -- and I'd add Require.js, as a commonplace early AMD loader before ES modules were a thing). A

I mostly agree with you, but having spent a good part of my career dealing with data integration patterns, I'm all too familiar with the problem of missed messages from the consumer (or failed-to-send messages from the producer) that

I wonder how much of this has to do with the stripping-away of Section 230 protections that was started/attempted recently. A bit more paranoid response to published content that could create legal issues for Twitter now.

As long as this is an opt-out setting, and not a community standard, this is a cop-out. The problem is not "our poor users are bombarded with untrue political ads!" The problem is that Facebook has become a cesspool that breeds co

> - Warlord Raz is prone to violent outbursts, and is an AirBnb Superhost That sounds like a phrase from a novelty D&D campaign or some form of parody. What an odd year it's been.

"Desirable cities" for me, as a 30-year-old software engineer, include Brevard, North Carolina and Dahlonega, Georgia. Notably, that list does not include New York City, Los Angeles, and definitely doesn't include San Fra

You could always just send them a link to a meeting on https://meet.jit.si -- Jitsi Meet is open-source, and doesn't require a Google Account. It's also pretty high-quality, which is nice. And if you want to be extra s

There are several factors in US politics that led to Trump's election (including foreign involvement), and none of them are "Trump was someone who was qualified to be a capable leader." Whether it's the anti-intellectual

The title is not a very good one, because it's nearly a rhetorical question: no language I've ever seen -- not even Haskell -- has a type system that completely removes the need for tests. For example, even Haskell has partial f

If that were the case, then coc.nvim [0] wouldn't work quite the way it does. I run VSCode extensions in NeoVim all the time now. [0] https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim

Yeah, Scry definitely needs some love -- it doesn't really autocomplete outside of local var names and some basic syntactic structures.

I would consider the example case of F# -- originally a research language that, though it graduated to a life of its own, keeps feeding features "back into" C#.

One step further: the moral precept proposed violates itself, if it's ever applied, by virtue of being a moral precept (and thus being a "co-science" truth claim).

Uhm, Elm is a really bad example to pick, given how many other languages now have libraries that implement "the Elm architecture" for UIs of various sorts, while Elm itself is almost entirely a "please spit out some HTML&qu

On macOS it's Cmd-J or Cmd-K, so I know it does exist, just not sure of the shortcut key on your platform.

From my experience doing web development, that's not surprising. Safari is sorta the king of broken, half-implemented Javascript APIs that will advertise support but don't really work correctly.

From the headline, I thought this was going to be about Netflix rolling out an "emergency broadcast system" equivalent based on the viewer's region/location. That would've been pretty neat (if a difficult technical

That you went with an angry post about Donald Trump on an article that doesn't mention him once (or mention politics much at all, really) is telling. Your stereotypes are showing. Perhaps read through the article, rather than jumping

I'm curious what you mean by "necessary for proper testing". I know a lot of people use that pattern (single-implementation interfaces) for use with a dependency-injection container, and then they mock the interfaces ...but

Indirection is a tool, and there are both good reasons and bad reasons to use it (as with most tools). A good reason would be to clarify the why or the what by "glossing over" the how : # Unclear: list_range = range

Yeah, I've heard the mnemonic "an Either contains either the Right answer or else whatever's Left", which is simple/punny enough to be memorable.
