Small hiccup in the grand scheme of things. I believe that they will get a product car out this year!
I love mobx (definitely not one of the 58), but I would use redux on large apps (maybe, more than 15 pages?), especially if you don't care too much about performance. Redux has better debugging, forces more structure to…
I've had good experiences with https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rtorr.vs... so far, but perhaps I've gotten lucky. When I first tried flow out a few months ago I was also very unhappy with the tooling.
It definitely has advantages. But I don't think using babel precludes shipping a binary with a standard pre-built config.
Totally. I tell new devs to use typescript. But I don't think using babel precludes shipping a binary with a standard pre-built config.
Microsoft has absolutely done an amazing job with typescript IDE integration. But are there any end-user IDE benefits to typescript over flow/eslint? (Not being snarky.) I've been using both on separate projects (with…
I suppose the problem is that I see typescript as the fragmentation. If MS leverages babel (they can even keep shipping TS as their own thing if they want, I just want them to provide babel plugins), we can all use that…
I really wish that MS would release typescript as a collection of plugins for babel that would handle only one thing at a time (eg, the type system). Having my production build, es6 transpiler, type system, JSX compiler…
If anyone is looking for a similar tool for JS, I've used codemods to great effect. https://vramana.github.io/blog/2015/12/21/codemod-tutorial/
Honestly, this sounds like a big step backwards in UX if implemented widely. I would really rather not have to manually install a million packages when pulling down dependencies - "npm install && npm start" and then…
Some discussion on the elixir subreddit a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/elixir/comments/50nvhg/websocket_sh... Of note is that of these, I think only the elixir and ruby (?) solutions are distributed.…
(Note: I support trigger warnings and think that they have a lot of use as a tool even outside of the typical context) I'm in close contact with a lot of social justice groups, specifically ones based out of UC…
I mean, react (and associated frontend technologies) are just a way of making it easier to write code within the constraints of browsers, which are honestly a small miracle. Yes, they're a pile of hacks upon hacks (the…
What stack are you using? The description you give doesn't match my experience with modern javascript (react, webpack, flow/typescript, etc). If you have to build a desktop app with jquery soup (or even angular), I…
What are you having problems with? I remember setting up react-native to be a total breeze the first time around, especially compared to html react.
While the cryptocurrency conversation online is dominated by right-libertarians, I think you'll find that a lot of hard/radical leftwing direct-action types are very much obsessed with cryptocurrency and structures like…
It's disappointing that this article doesn't address the various animals with a degree of biological immortality (eg jellyfish, lobsters). I'm not convinced that the laws of thermodynamics make (human-scale) aging…
We don't have anything remotely close to a free market in housing, though - I would be much, much more apt to lay the blame for the current housing crisis at the feet of misguided zoning and NIMBYism (often dressed up…
That's how these things always go (15 years is the usual "sentence"). Assuming that the US is willing to play ball, they'll start negotiating now and eventually trade him for a visit from the director of the CIA or some…
I don't want to get into too much detail on this out of respect for Otto. I wasn't there when he took the poster down, but I definitely believe that he did. Also, no invisible lines were crossed - we were told very…
Definitely! But imagine you're North Korea, looking at the world's most powerful military by a huge margin, practicing the invasion of your country a few miles from your border, on a regular basis. Makes you feel pretty…
Whenever I got home from my previous vacations, my mom would say, disapprovingly, "Where are you going next, North Korea?!". I had a spare week this winter and thought that sounded like a pretty good idea. Also, it's an…
Hrm, that's the not impression I tried to give in my comment. Obviously I was in a dystopia, and it was made very clear that we were being handled - not even the guides tried to pretend we were being shown the North…
No sarcasm tag on HN, sorry.
Right, but imagine that you're the head of the DPRK military and you're reading this comment as the general attitude of America. Now you think that you have to get nukes ASAP, and you're risking US invasion at any time…
