My name's Trinidad, I'm with UPS. And I've been trying to do a delivery here, uh, since Friday and no one's picked up, or answered the door bell. It’s Tasmanian Syrup, on dry ice…

I’ve been a remote engineer for over a decade, but only recently switched to a hybrid schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays. IMO, these two days are effectively useless for any kind of productive technical work. There are simply too many visua

Huh wow! I did not know that! I think TypeScript always kept this hidden from me, but it makes sense. Another perk of `await` is that it collapses all promises into their final value, regardless of how many nested pending promises are expre

I’ve seen this comparison to async/await a few times and I’m not sure how accurate it actually is. It’s true that async functions can be polyfilled via generators, but from what I understand that’s more of a conceptual transpilation by

It’s a great question, and for the folks who knows the answer of why generators misunderstood, they surely discovered this feature in the most unpleasant circumstances. Generators were introduced during JavaScript’s awkward adolescence, whe

Controversial but brave take: I think adding this to JavaScript is a bad idea. It’s not that observables are inherently bad. It’s just that they produce some of the least intuitive code imaginable. I’ve never seen a codebase with observable

Seconding for for ADHD and narcolepsy. I had a sleep study done a few years back that came up borderline positive. Doctor had me try a few meds out but the one that really stuck was Vyvanse (basically a slow release pro-drug of Adderall). S

I’ve managed several open source projects through their transition from CommonJS to ES modules and the least interesting part was the server-side of the equation. More often, the most exciting, and most excruciating aspect is wrangling Type

I think React really was revolutionary when your choices were jQuery, Backbone, or even Angular 1. I remember trying to convince my team that React was the next best thing when it first came out. Skepticism was everywhere — especially aroun

This is very clever! I found out about the canvas composite modes far too late in an animated ASCII art project. IMO, the canvas APIs are a little too esoteric for their own good. It’s almost like a stateful object, but all the commands are

The rumors are true! Luxury housing is in development, and it’s taking place in Hell’s most gentrified neighborhood. Sources close to the project are calling it ES Modules, and everybody who’s anybody wants in on this high-end horror show.

That’s a very interesting read. I’m definitely biased towards LLMs being more than what the naysayers think of their capabilities. It’s no doubt that these systems are not thinking or performing cognition. They are autocomplete systems base

Hello Hacker News! Asciify’s origin story begins with my attempts to use SVG’s more esoteric features like lighting effects and animations. If you’ve ever tried to make an animated SVG, you’re unfortunately familiar with just how slow they

Fresh looks seriously cool! I'm especially fond of the plugins concept for bringing in compiled assets like Markdown and SCSS. And Getting started with a `deno run` command is very exciting for new-comers too! Shameless-self promotion:

Disclosure: I maintain an open source web component library. This is a strange take on what I think the author is fighting against: a less open web platform. What confuses me is how the adoption of Web Components will somehow make things wo

I really wish people would find true enlightenment. It's obvious a turtle in space wouldn't need anything underneath -- because turtles swim!

I think what's more confusing than ASI are the mental gymnastics developers go through to justify typing semicolons daily, rather than installing a linter once, or reading the ASI spec. Python and Ruby support semicolons for occasional

Could you tell us about how you got into video game publishing? I'd love to make the transition myself.

I believe there's an unconscious fear that most programming jobs are a far cry from computer science. Most developers are gluing modules to each other without any concern for how they're implemented. The author used the word &quot

I agree on the surface of your argument though it's not as bleak as we fear. While I don't think it's intentionally malicious, the current "cult" dev culture disempowers developers. I think there's two competin

I found the inclusion of Yarn in this tutorial to be misplaced. Adding another step to what is already considered a complex library feels unnecessary. Maybe the author is trying to make Yarn a trend?
