   Thanks for your answers David! Too bad it's not feasible yet.

   And using nuclear energy, why wouldn't it be possible to accelerate to, say, 50% of light speed? The acceleration itself wouldn't be too bad: 299792458 m/s / 2 = 149896229 m/s In 10 years that would be: 149896229 m&

   Why wouldn't the probe be able to send us any kind of signal? Would it be too weak to get here? And what if we were to point a super sensitive telescope to it?

    Very cool! Simple and you even thought of a way to earn some money with it. Hope this kind of creativity gets rewarded!

    Question for the poster: any general thoughts on why you chose TypeScript instead of Flow Type?

    by vnglst 10y ago

    Yes, I think even more so now with the Node Foundation and support for all modern JS syntax (ES6 and beyond). It's being used by mayor players (LinkeIn, Netflix, Medium and Uber to name a few) but also smaller companies (from my person

    "Unit tests in JavaScript Writing unit tests in TypeScript can sometimes be troublesome and confusing. Especially when mocking dependencies and using spies." Anybody know why unit tests are difficult in TypeScript?

    Doing that for the resume template would be the next step. Would be more difficult though, since you want them to be customizable.
