The reason your posts in this thread are so irritating is because TS has all the same junk people hate about JS. You say things like JS is "deeply problematic" and "full of pot holes and weirdness" but you don't ad

If your .ts code differs massively from your .js code you have no one to blame but yourself.

I agree with your comment. > Why would hunter gatherers not wear clothes, when they can offer useful protection against the elements? I was curious about this and looked it up. Apparently there was some period of time during which human

React is not "batteries included". Angular is. This isn't a weakness in React. I prefer react's approach. But it does mean the developer needs to make more decisions. Angular comes with stuff like RxJS and a wrapper a

> Dogs got closer to humans thousands of years ago. Their role was to protect. In the process, they became less intelligent than their ancestors: The wolf. I don't think it's fair to say wolves are smarter than dogs. They spe

Whether a show, book, movie, song, etc is "worth the time" is entirely subjective. There are million dollar franchises based on material that I don't consider worth my time. But you better believe that stuff is worth Netfli

I don't think anyone in this comment chain is saying "we don't want women building stuff". Rather, some commenters are uncomfortable with the assumption that moving from 15 males to 11 males + 5 females is necessarily a

I really enjoyed the interview as well. Borges' manner of speaking is wonderful. > Borges says he's not a thinker in the interview. But I dunno, even if his influences are clear, his ability to understand, and then convey thes

It's written for a general American audience so it makes sense to use those units.

> Zuckerberg and FBI director Comey do as well. Seems common sense these days. Which is really, really sad. Both of these people are public figures. You can argue that it's common sense if you're a public figure. If not, &quo

Whenever you're shooting up a human with something you need to be careful about what you're shooting them up with. That doesn't say anything about vaccines.

That seems like a strange reason to love a movie. I liked the visuals, but I think the script was a disaster, and the movie itself was only middling.

I thought wasm was going to have a human-readable equivalent, called wast. See: https://webassembly.org/getting-started/advanced-tools/ My understanding (maybe wrong) was that this was going to be available in th

On a fundamental level I agree with your point. Truly absolute morality implies some kind of external rule of law, which implies some kind of external lawmaker. Where I disagree is this idea - whether you intended it or not - that non-abso

I thought this was a good article. I think the relationship between streamers and their audience is a more extreme form of the relationship between celebrities and their fans (some of whom may tend toward fanatical). It's not surprisin

I don't agree. Take Dick for example: whether his writing deals with "the highest kind of truth" is not important to me. I've read just about everything he's written because I enjoy his writing. I think this is equ

Companies (and people) are not pure good or pure evil. It's always a mix. I'm not thrilled with windows 10 ads, but typescript, chakra js engine, dot net core, and others are open source and being developed in the open on github

Whenever I read these kinds of posts on this website I think of Sterling Hayden in Dr. Strangelove. (The crazy SAC commander who thinks the Russians are plotting to steal Americans' precious bodily fluids). I understand that people do

It seems that some people view the term "meritocracy" negatively because they believe it implies that everyone has the same opportunities. I don't see that implication, but if enough other people do, maybe it's worth re

I don't know why you think that. I think the safest assumption is that being dead will be exactly like not being born.

I don't think it was ridiculous to begin with (neither was "terrorism") but it's ridiculous now. I would define "fake news" as news published by people who know what they're publishing is false. My feelin

Lots of places have multiple names. Especially in the Arab world, I would expect many places to have a "formal name" that might appear on a government map but that differs from how locals refer to it. I'm alo not sure if the

If you find yourself typing something about "the type of programmers attracted to X language" just delete what you wrote and move on. JavaScript isn't going anywhere. End-users don't care about executing "non optim

Calling it "live" seems just slightly inaccurate to me. Every time code needs to run an http request needs to be made. (Unless there's some new tech here I'm unaware of) This is a limitation that may make no difference

For those interested in this stuff, or the "we will preserve your body and resurrect you in some date in the future" technology, I recommend a Don Delillo novel from a couple years ago, title is Zero K.

Each employee should act according to their conscience, not according to your conscience. Your perspective reminds me of a Chris Rock joke: "How come it's only unemployed people who tell you to quit something?" The point bei
