Google, Meta and Amazon are still repeatedly reaching out.

Front end: TypeScript, Angular, Apollo, Material Back end: Scala, ZIO, zio-http, Pulsar, Keycloak, Postgres Hosting: Kubernetes on Digital Ocean, GitLab Pages Tools: Hugo, Twilio, Namecheap, Mailgun

It's odd to read about hiring freezes when they're both still actively recruiting.

Presumably also Nest and Fi.

I'm currently working on a project that uses both Typescript and Scala. The overlap in concepts is rather useful when switching contexts.

it helps that you don't fall into the trap of "one IDE for all programming languages"

I don't see this as a trap at all. I use IntelliJ for practically everything, and switching languages frequently (currently between Typescript and Scala several times a day) has not been difficult. I get way more benefit from developing increased familiarity with my environment.

There's no magic. It works the same way any other domain does.

RISC OS Programmer's Reference Manual. It's very well laid out, clearly written and consistent. In fact, I even bought myself a copy all these years later to peruse for nostalgia.

Interesting. Is there no distance limit? I don't know how 5G works, but in 2G there was a limit of about 30km, since that's as much as the timing advance would allow for (sending the signal early so that it arrives in its timeslot despite the speed-of-light delay).

It only works in languages where promises/futures/tasks are a first-class citizen. Eg JavaScript.

Why would that be true?

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the point of posting this here? Anyone will already know it's back up before they see this post.

I don't think I've actually seen anyone refer to it as Lisplang.

This is true of everything that is named after something, and it wasn't really something people worried about until Go, which is interesting in itself.

I'm not talking about domain names. I'm talking about people referring to the language itself as, for example, Rustlang.

What's with people tacking "Lang" on to the end of language names? I can kind of understand it with Go, since Google didn't exactly come up with a very searchable name, but now I'm seeing it spread to other languages like Rust, and now here with Cell.

Which language do you want to use? You already have a choice.

What would be the correct amount of production?

Separation of concerns. The person writing the HTML should get to decide where the data is rendered in the page, not the person generating the data. What you've done (as far as I can tell) is unnecessarily couple the backend to the structure of the presentation layer.

I was surprised by the assumption of ANSI and no mention of $TERM.

Curious syntax. Why does it require sigils? Why does assignment need both `let` and `:=`?

It seemed like a reasonable idea until I saw the syntax.

    Object.keys(envars)
      .map(envar => `${envar}=${envars[envar]}`)
      .join(' ')
      |> `$ ${%}`
      |> chalk.dim(%, 'node', args.join(' '))
      |> console.log(%);

For example, in Scala, if I have `foo(Int, Int, Int): Int`, then `foo(_, 1, 2)` has type `Int => Int`. That's true anywhere, but in the JavaScript proposal we seem to have a syntax that only applies in a special case.

Oh, I don't know, maybe because those two things have nothing to do with each other.

What about it is garbage?

The dictation looks really good. The main reason I don't use it currently, even though it would be the most natural way to enter text, is that I want my text to have punctuation without me having to be explicit about it. Looking forward to trying this eventually.

Also, given that they have translation and live transcription of videos, live translation of videos was the next logical step. I hope it's available for all audio sources.

He's like Doc Brown. "The way I see it, if you're gonna make a payload out of a car, why not do it with some style?"

What do you mean by "their own"? There's nothing about SONET/SDH that's specific to undersea cables.

Flying Microchips Size of a Sand GRAIN Could be Used by Citizens to Keep Authorities In Check

Lithium carbonate.

We know the difference between processors and capacitors around here.

Maybe for a two-legged device like a capacitor, but for something in, say, a SOT-23 package, you can't be sure what it is from the outside.

Then again, maybe even something in a capacitor-like package could both communicate and be powered.

No algorithms

I don't like this particular lie. It seems like as soon as we find it acceptable to tell it, we get to choose how complex or user-hostile the algorithm gets to be while still telling the same lie.
