That's a good way to put it, and yeah I would agree that's how I like to use errors: give me the details I ask for and let me ignore the ones I don't care about. Sometimes an "error" isn't really an error, and

If you're writing a command line utility that tries to load a config file and falls back on defaults if it's not found, you may try to load it and just ignore any error, only caring that it either returns a path if found or null i

Without taking sides on the issue, these are purposeful trade-offs that the Go team makes. They are trying to avoid bloating the language and making it too difficult for them to add optimizations or other features. And I think they would ar

I think the core distinction is business-centric conferences vs developer-centric conferences. You've entirely named the former. Those are geared towards using platforms , and while developers are welcome, they aren't the entiret

There seems to be a lot of influence between editors which to me is the most interesting part of all of this. Just looking at TKE's screenshots, it resembles VS Code to a not-insignificant degree, and VS Code and Atom both seem to have

True, but anecdotal data are also useful. I came to this thread to see what a bunch of other deep thinkers think about standing desks and if they have any stories to tell. For my part, I made one some years ago, and have found it to be inva

Only if you're using Go's native GC as the Lua VM's GC, which isn't the only option.

Go was originally intended as a systems level language, suitable for writing extremely efficient servers, dealing directly with raw bytes where needed, therefore enabling writing code at both high and low levels. VMs typically take advantag

Nothing necessarily surprising about this. Yes Go is made by Google, but not by all of Google, just like this project isn't necessarily a first-class Microsoft project (although it might be). And Microsoft has contributed significant a

I know you're not necessarily looking for specific advice to this one problem, and I agree and would rather pay for software than be the product, but since email is the topic, have you looked into FastMail? You pay for it, there's

That's not an inherent limitation of the language though. There's nothing stopping a server-side implementation from adding threads as a first-class feature and breaking away from the spec. Ideally it would do so in a way that&#

This is an excellent hindsight-2020 project, and the concept is overall an improvement on Node, but I'm afraid the ship has sailed and Node's momentum is too high to stop. Not that mainstream usage was ever its goal, it was basica

Well shit. Yeah usually I read the article first but the title got me so excited that I wrote the comment because that topic really fascinates me. Oh well. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm intrigued by this idea of random-socialization online. Obviously the sites like this have thus far catered more towards sexual content, but I feel like there's huge potential for online streaming socialization that Twitch and

Nonsense. JavaScript is a general programming language that's suitable for many different kinds of environments. It just so happens to have started in the browser, but it could just as easily be embedded like Lua, or ran on the serve

I immediately disabled the “smart completion”. It was wrong 100% of the time so far, and it’s just going to ruin my train of thought, or worse, train me to say what it thinks I should say.

They’re still mainly bundlers for now, such as webpack. But browsers are slowly adopting first class modules which has already been solidified by the spec afaik.

"Much more effort"? Right now it implements a library and a language on top of that. Making it just be a library would cut the work in half .

Yeah I opened the page kind of hoping for something GraphQL. Scraping libs are cool but I have absolutely no idea why this is at the top of Hacker News. It's not declarative, it's unnecessarily a language instead of just a library

Why is this a language instead of a library on top of an existing language? Here's what it would look like as a JavaScript (Node.js or browser) library: let g = getDocument("https://www.google.com/", true

TypeScript is fantastic for its IDE support and instant feedback but I'm waiting for the day it's built into CRA as a first class citizen. Sounds like that day will be soon though maybe even this year.
