I think it’s fine if and only if there are 1st party tools for editors to provide hints about the type the language will infer. If I can mouse over and see the type it thinks the var is, and see static analysis errors if I try to treat

Same one that tripped me up. I looked at it a while thinking it was some outside-the-code commentary thing pointing out the line to me, and I couldn’t figure out why . Wasn’t until I spotted the more-familiar-to-me => ligature elsewhere

Ligature font in the examples. Please don’t. I had to copy-paste one of them somewhere else to figure out what it actually is.

I hadn’t thought about it until just now, but the most recent Apple events really are the closest real-person thing I’ve ever seen to some of the “good” computer generated photorealistic (kinda…) humans “reading” with text-to-speech that I’

You can set it up on most of your devices, including mobile, with a couple clicks/taps, and not having to read any manpages. You can achieve having e.g. an Apple TV as a VPN network gateway with similar ease. A technical person who’s f

I took it as suggesting 75% is aiming way too low for these kinds of even-people-doing-it-don’t-deliberately-practice activities, even if you’re aiming to be a generalist. Rather, that being 95%ile (among practitioners) or better in severa

When sufficiently broken links hit the main page, the brokenness is gonna be part of the discussion. Whatever the intentions of HN, it’s always the case, even for ones that are broken for boring and predictable paywall reasons rather than s

So much food waste exists because food is incredibly cheap. Like, most of the time money spent recovering waste to give to the poor would be more effective if you just bought more food with it. That’s how cheap it is, and that’s why nobod

It’s frustrating because some of Musk’s first moves were to make logged-out Twitter a ton better, but then a while ago he reversed course hard and made it entirely unusable. It’s the worst it’s ever been, I’m not employing “unusable” flip

True. You’re merely forced to be subject to their decisions, made on behalf of and in the interest of people who aren’t you. [edit] I’m getting the sense that if we just restructure this so the union exists and does normal union stuff but y

It’s a legally required body for many companies. It’s being imposed by law. Same as required unions would be.

“Dealbook summit musk” will find you various long clips. It is indeed a fascinating watch, and entertaining if you’re the sort who finds stuff like Tim and Eric funny (I do) The part that got the most attention was when he literally told ob

Are boards of directors unrelated parties you’re forced to associate with if you don’t want to severely limit your employment options?

The party’s not unrelated.

You’re exactly as forced as people are forced to have a job.

“Free” workers under capitalism used to often not be free to leave the job. As in they’d be locked in, or some big dudes would encourage them to stay, or they’d be in some remote area and paid largely in scrip, and practically unable to q

I don’t think a lot of viewers, in the last few decades, watch it without the context of knowing it’s film-historically very important. FWIW—subject matter aside, even—it was among my least favorite in a silent film binge I went on a couple

That film’s on my to-watch list because everything I’ve heard about it is along the lines of “it’s… actually good. Not good for a sequel to a mediocre kids’ movie in the talking/telepathic-live-action-animals subgenre, but actually go

Yeah, the folks in my group who watched it had such a negative reaction I didn’t bother with it. But as I recall the complaint wasn’t that it was depressing, but that it was a movie length “do you get it? Do you get the bit? We better do it

Dunno how it is now but it used to be that Apple would tell you which push tokens (recipients) were rejected (app uninstalled, push disabled for your app, or you stored a bad token to begin with) and you were supposed to stop sending to the
