Verizon after 60GB is 600kbps on 5G/4G but up to 3Mbps on UWB. Pretty reasonable IMO. It’s AT&T that’s the holdout, 128k regardless of plan, after 60GB.

I did in fact follow the link. I actually went further than you, all the way to the GitHub, where I saw that it was actually just a web app. All TS. And you can 100% load PWAs offline, which might be slightly more progressive than your id

That’s a web app, it’s on them if they don’t want to offer their services without requiring me to let them out of the web sandbox.

As someone who does a ton of networking/routing at the link layer for a day job, I can definitely see why they’re taking measures to reduce bandwidth hogs - to the extent I might actually prefer to be on a network that has taken measur

Curious what you want from a jailbreak at this point? It seems all of the old things that were actually helpful have found them into first party software, or at least in the sanctioned third party. (internet tethering, emulators, side loade

I should not need to explain to you that the problem is when b itself is internally an (m b’). Or when it is a sum of many types, of varying m-nests. I can assure you that JS libraries work with Promises just fine.

by explaininjs 2y ago
This is all besides the root topic though, which is that CPS and Monads are isomorphic. Which is true. Promises are a different thing.

by explaininjs 2y ago
We might consider promises “applied monads” or “engineered monads”. Monodic in inspiration and they solve the same core problem, but they aren’t straightjacketed into the ivory tower “laws” in absolutely every edge case (they do satisfy the

by explaininjs 2y ago
There is one particular edge case in which they do not satisfy the laws. That happens to make them much more practical in day to day coding than a strict interpretation would be.

If you’re fine with manually checking a standard interface to see if you should abort, JS’s answer is the AbortController. This is supported by features like the “fetch” function for making cancellable http requests. https://deve

Show me a JS library that allows you to swap a non-async call for an async one in a non-async context^ and I’ll eat my hat. ^Without any non-local changes, obviously.

by explaininjs 2y ago
No… I fear you’ve missed the entire point of the matter, which is that async/await requires that you must go all the way up the call stack explicitly “await”ing things when you have introduced an “async” call (or similar wide spread

by explaininjs 2y ago
No… that’s the whole point. If you change them to be async, the language forces you to go and rethink what implications that has for the callers. This is a good thing, dumbly sequenced operations are terrible UX. And UX is far more importan
14.
by explaininjs 2y ago
That sounds a lot like async/await. Any errors thrown in an async context bubble to the callsite awaiting it.
15.
by explaininjs 2y ago
Indeed. And breakpoints and stepping across concurrent context actually works in JS, which is nice.

by explaininjs 2y ago
Yes. That blog has probably done more to negatively impact the industry than any other written work I know.

F# first actually. Then C#. Then Haskell. Then Python. Then TypeScript. Parent just has an axe to grind.

Coming from a heavy TS background into a go-forward company, I’d say the main thing you get with async is it makes it incredibly obvious when computation can be performed non-sequentially (async…). For example, It’s very common to see the

That is the belief that leads to evolutionism, not the exact definition of evolutionism. A necessary precondition. I don’t have time to explain basic mathematics. Suffice to say, the concepts of changing over time and differentiating are ve

The evidence is clear to anyone with eyes: the intricately designed statue. It should be obvious to anyone that it was created, as it was for millennia across the entire world. It’s only after centuries of forced re-education that people be

Why are you assigning malice? Just because the omnipresent being designed things a particular way but wishes to be known on faith rather than an explicit name tag doesn’t mean he’s “screwing with us”, as you seem so want to repeat. Frankly

Go on then, explain this nondifferentiable constant case I was missing.

It would seem we are in agreement. Your science cannot find the designer if the designer does not wish to be found by your science. That doesn’t mean we can say they do or do not exist. Thus: creationism and evolutionism, the two sides of t

Again, I said “X might be the observed outcome of someone were to believe Y”, and you’ve interpreted that as me leaping to the conclusion that you believe Y. But your argument is still circular and faith based. There’s no concrete framework

People caricaturize to being attention to noteworthy attributes, that does not imply a value judgment. But I could see how you might come to that conclusion if you were of the opinion that everything different from you is worse. I however a

I’m happy to sift through a .cpuprofile and create an intelligent actionable summary of it if I’m at work and that’s the job they’re paying me to do. And very often they do pay me quite handsomely for my ability to do just that! But if I’m

This makes me want an LLM that traces every line of code running on a site and provides a summary… “when you scrolled the page 2 pixels just now, it triggered 500 network requests to various tracking sites. additionally, it forced redrawing

To the extent there are empirical studies demonstrating evolution, I and many creationists besides me believe them too. Where the faith of evolutionists lies is in taking those studies showing the most minuscule changes then saying “look, s
