This is my exact experience. TypeScript seemed to hit a complexity sweet spot about 5 years ago, then they just kept adding more obscure stuff to the type system. I find that understanding TypeScript compiler errors can be almost as difficu

This is no longer remotely true. Most .NET teams I know now deploy on Linux and develop on Windows/Mac/Linux.

Wow. I just had it write a song about being sad about losing my keys in r&b/soul style, I'm totally blown away: https://www.udio.com/songs/bDY5CYdJZP93AdpgpfBJNX

I'm not seeing a major problem here, you just need to install MSVC++ alongside it.

I've always been a big proponent of TypeScript, but does anyone else feel like the type system has gotten a bit too flexible? I recently had to fix some errors when upgrading packages on an old project, and it was not at all clear wh

Maybe libuv? It's used by node and julia. It's not a full standard library by any means, but it would give you the event loop with async/networking/io/threading.

Sarno's work comes up periodically on HN, and I always have to chime in to say that it cured my RSI. Everything is still completely, 100% cured at 15+ years. As a developer, I have no idea what I would have done without it, my career w

No need for a meditation myth at all, absolutely. It's brain hacking as far as I'm concerned. As for concentration training vs mindfulness meditation, I do think there's a difference. Concentration is a tight single-pointed f

It's about training your mind's executive control/function. You learn to focus on one thing and allow others to pass through your awareness without them being overly distracting/disturbing. Think of your focus like a spo

Also, WebAssembly can't support most GC runtimes now, because you can't scan the stack for roots. You can keep your own shadow stack on the heap, but that has a bunch of pretty bad performance implications. This actually impacts C

Very cool! I'd love to see proper macros in a major language like Dart. And the proposal looks good, like a mix of Scala and Nemerle.

Any particular reason you like Dart so much? I tried it briefly, and it felt like a watered-down mashup of Java and C# with somewhat worse performance.

It highly depends on the use case. When people interact with a piece of software all day every day, they tend to appreciate having more information/actions available at a glance. Simple interfaces are better for casual users, but they

There's a Cranelift backend, which is apparently faster at creating debug builds than LLVM: https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift

That's great! Like you, it did take me a while to get to 100%. Old habits die hard, I guess. You really know you're there when you realize you forgot to think about RSI for a whole week/month/whatever.

I totally agree, the prevailing RSI advice about posture and exercise and fancy chairs and input devices and taking breaks is not one-size-fits-all. In my case, Sarno's book showed me how my neurotic fixation on RSI was making it worse

https://arewegameyet.rs/ Rust is not really there yet for game development, in my opinion. Amethyst is probably the most advanced 3D engine at the moment, but they are having some issues with picking an ECS implementation,

I have a fair bit of Rust experience, and I agree that it adds a lot of cognitive overhead. It gets better over time as you learn how to appease the compiler, but the borrow checker can still be a pain in the ass. It's something you&#x

HotSpot uses a JIT compiler that dynamically recompiles code at runtime to speed up hot code paths. GraalVM native compilation cannot do this, and given the nature of Java's non-reified generics, it's very hard to get equivalent s

This is really cool, but I've always been disappointed that you can't generate Houdini procedural content in UE4 at runtime. It only works in the editor.

Yes, it's aware of the previous frame. I believe I used some kind of motion "heat map" that would indicate where the changes were needed based on accumulated deltas that would gradually decay. However, I still had to keep the

Very nice! The sampling mask makes a big difference. I played around some with creating shaders in Unity for this type of thing last year. I liked how it looked on still frames, but I was never quite satisfied with the results for movement.

Include doesn't work for cyclic types, they need to be in the same "type" block. I do not agree with Araq's stance here, there are often cases when closely-related types need to reference each other, and it's not al
