I love it. Just made my first post. Is there a way to discover other writers? Edit: jk, just found the "discover" section

What does it mean for Typescript to be usable in "other languages"?

I doesn't. But OTOH, seeing this twerpy mega-nerd carry a giant rifle on his back to look like a badass is so fucking hilarious. I think I understand the gun-nuts a bit better now. Maybe learn to walk straight and do a push-up or two a

I am sorry you went through all that. The SVP sounds like a dick, irrespective of what you tweeted/didn't tweet. I am curious, do you still do social media just as much on the side, or is it your main job now? And do you look back

Oh, c'mon. I haven't worked at either but I have interviewed several engineers from both, and honestly nobody at Google seems to do anything. I met someone who spent three months just fixing some minor CSS issues on youtube.com

I left banking to become a programmer because it was so smutty. FML my life.

Can I ask what you used to make that landing page? I've seen a lot of pages use that template lately and it's killing me not knowing

What's the point of typing out such a shallow dismissal? Are you into large-scale sculptural art? Would you know how to judge such a piece of art in general? If it's about the size, have you seen it in person to know the effect it

I never curse on HN, but screw you, man. Nothing in my programming life has felt the way making animations and scripting them felt with Flash. You either missed out, or got suckered by steve jobs into thinking it's bad. It was overused

That's interesting, I wouldn't have made the distinction. I'm not even sure there is a distinction (climate change is by far the greatest threat to the environment). What are your personal views on climate change, if you don&

I recently discovered Fira code through https://www.codingfont.com/ . I played with font names off, and Fira code won two times in a row :) I'm still amazed at how pleasant it looks on my screen.

Vox is literally the definition of neolib trash. I don't understand how you can call it far left. People on the left don't actually mind the label, but don't call shitlib stuff far left. The left is explicitly opposed to neol

I can't think of another OSS desktop app that comes close to the success of blender and firefox. How did blender do what Gimp etc couldn't?

I am seriously mind-blown that you've never encountered this problem in Go. You're trying something, and you see an error, you comment out a function and replace it with a print statement. And now suddenly you have to comment out

SML/NJ is an absolutely marvelous first language. You will learn to think in abstractions and not get bogged down in any implementation details. The downside is that you will be amazed at the lack of union types and pattern matching in

Yeah, honestly I would respect them more if they never added generics. Still wouldn't use it. I haven't tried go-with-generics but I can't imagine it can be a good addition so late in the game.

Look at Kotlin if you haven't. Sure, "it's just Java" but really it's not. A good example is the collections all have an astoundingly uniform API and everything can map into everything else. It's really quite e

I am launching my startup on Typescript (backend and frontend). So far, it's been an amazing experience - I can define the problem in terms of types even before I start writing any executable code, and refactoring is a breeze if you ma
