This was an intentional design decision. We wanted to make sure all the temporal types could be serialize/deserializable, but as you mentioned, you couldn't implicitly go back to the object you started with as JSON.parse doesn&#x2

What we’re seeing today with Windows is more representative of the times we’re living in rather than because of who’s the CEO. I don’t doubt for a second Ballmer would also be jumping onto the AI hype train if he was still running the show.

That’s quite an odd statement to make. The UK certainly does have continuous demand, our overall energy demand has rarely fallen below 25GW in the past couple of years. Right now gas makes up for much of that, the goal here is to replace ga

That’s simply not true, or at least not today. First of, the UK are investing in battery storage, there’s already a rollout of grid-level battery systems across the country*. None of them hold capacity for longer than 2 hours before they ne

The past year has been huge for conformance for us, not only we caught up with the top engines but we surpassed them when working on Temporal and having all tests pass for that. We hope to wind down some of the conformance priority now and

Hi all, wow was not expecting this to be trending right now. I’m the creator of Boa, you can catch my talk about it at JS Conf EU 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uD2pijcSi4 That said, today Boa has a whole team of mai

Transmission is a real problem and just like Nuclear, we haven’t improved it in the past 30 years. So both eastern green link projects (offering more capacity) are due to be finished in 2029, “ok” I think “but surely we’re doing some work o

One aspect I haven’t seen anyone mention contributing to the decline is GitHub (part of your “improved tooling”) These days you can go to the repo and there’s usually already an issue open with the problem and a workaround. Or if someone ha

I don’t think that’s the case anymore. I just popped on to newegg and scrolled through their “best seller” motherboards, none of them have PS/2 ports. They’ve started to die off on enthusiast motherboards for the past few years.

Its funny because I'm younger than you by a couple of years and I can remember the big parallel ports on keyboards before PS/2 became popular! PS/2 still feels modern to me in comparison

I doubt what you saw was a TV licensing van in 2015. They stopped doing the van stuff in the late 90s / early 2000s. Even if they could “detect” TV in your house they’d have no way of knowing if it’s a live broadcast or streaming/

Nice extension, it may be worth in the readme explaining how it’s different to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-livepreview which has been around for a long time and maintained by Microsoft.
