Hi Peter! For H1B visa holders, is there any way to start a company and remain in charge (whether as CEO or not)? From what I find online you can only be employed as a H1B holder, but if I start a company I would want to have full control o

Nice work! The other day I was doing a SVG renderer for Shiki[0] (a code syntax highlighter), but found no easy way to measure font width/height (SVG needs absolute positioning) in Node.js. The only library that does that records fonts

One take away for me was: Language designers & compiler writers today need to consider editor support as one of their goals. On the top page there's another thread about rust-analyzer vs RLS. What Aleksey said[0] about RLS that &qu
