In my web-scraping I've gravitated towards the "cheerio" library for javascript. I kind of don't want to use DOMParser because it's browser-only... my web-scrapers have to evolve every few years as the underlying we

I presume it means things like "does cross-file go-to-def and find-all-references work instantly after opening a file?" In most IDEs these things take seconds or minutes to become available, depending on project size

That's a good example because it leads to truth that NO up-front tagging will ever anticipate all the searches you might make in future. There are so many possible searches. I figure that a combination of wetware and software is the cu

I got into ultramarathon swimming because of that movie. I've since done numerous unaccompanied 12mile swims in nearby Lake Washington (Seattle), several accompanied sea crossings, and one 24mile swim. On every swim I think of Vincent

I wrote https://github.com/ljw1004/seaoflogs - an interactive filtering tool, for similar ends to what's described here. I wrote it because my team was struggling to analyze LSP logs (that's the protocol used

I think there is an easy way to prove this to users. Make your thing be a single page self contained html file which they save into the hard disk. Then they can trust the restricted permissions with which chrome runs such local files. If yo

In what sense is this solution "fair"? What definition of fairness is being used? This seems like a solution where rich people get the good things and poor people don't. I wouldn't call that fair. In a democracy, everyon

My job over the past several years has been to work on IDE integrations for a language (Hack, Flow). Prior to that I worked on C#/VB "Roslyn" system at Microsoft, which is entirely about exposing the internals of the compiler
