The "satisfies" keyword may be what you are missing. Most of the cases I used to need "as" (usually weirdly permissive types from some lib) can be nudged in line with a "satisfies"

Is there a relationship with the "Build" component of Knative here? ... It seems they were working on a very similar abstraction of CI/CD... This seems like a more general abstraction of the same problem

I'm really happy Google are giving a go at making ChromeOS into something more than browser on steroids. I really believe this is a path to a decent Linux Desktop future. I'm def considering getting a pixelbook for my main machine

> Why exactly Australians need a peer-to-peer payments system isn’t exactly clear... Probably as the first steps towards removing cash. Cash must be such a pain for a government, I'm surprised it is still around.

You do, and xiwi (X11 in a window) is almost magic in letting me spawn a proper terminal emulator integrated with ChromeOS's window manager (Aura?). ...but it feels like a bit of a hack. I have to have the laptop in dev mode and there&

As surprised as I am to say this; I think Google could steal a large chunk of the developer market overnight with some slight changes to Chrome OS. I needed an emergency machine last week (My 2011 Pro finally died), and I opt'd for a £

I like how the Signal app (at least on Android) also works for insecure SMS to give me one place for messaging... well apart from everyone who uses WhatsApp at least. What I'd love is if they could also make it an email client too. Let

Pretty sure Dart has it's own VM. It just also happens to compile to Javascript.

I don't see anywhere in the bill what EXACTLY an Internet Connection Record is, and since there is no such thing as a standard Internet Connection Record in any of our existing network infrastructure, I assume this has been left vague

Whenever I see those sorts of limitation I assume there's probably some kind of poorly handled escape situation to exploit and their fix was "well just don't allow that pesky < character"

There's a guy in Brighton (UK) with one of these... he always looks so happy and surprisingly stable on it. It seems to make up the relatively steep hill I live on, but I've never seen him use it to go down the hill. Guessing it g

No the contexts in pools do not share any state. Once you call an Eval from Go-land you'll be tied to context until that Eval returns, but Go-land will yield during that time so other goroutines(/contexts) are free to execute. It&

I built a package to bridge spidermonkey/Go last year[0]. I ended up doing most of the communication via JSON (after several less stable versions using reflect) which was fine for the use-case I had. Unfortunately since it builds spide

This was my only valid use for sets too, I can kind of see why it wasn't a project worth serious time maintaining. I always thought it would eventually be integrated into Google Proper via a comma separated syntax or something. This is
