This is a minor point. It gives the government broad power to reject any request, associations and media outlets are excluded, it costs more and the mandatory REDACTION OF NAMES is undercutting accountability completely.

Yea, I don't give a shit wether only citizen should be able to request data.

I used to be a hardcore Cursor user until I spent more time with the alternatives and cursor has gotten rough on my machine lately: spins up the MBP fans in minutes and drains the battery in an hour or two on the go. The harness is great, but eventually someone will build something equally good that is not vibe coded to death.

First time seeing this. Really moving story.

I just set up a monthly donation and had one thought: the way to donate monthly feels a bit too hidden right now (did a ctrl+f search to find the footer link).

Much love to all of you!

People create their opinion from what they read in blog posts like this rather than their own experience. Take the right tool for the job - over.

Going back to the early 2000s with freemarker/twig/mustache is what he means I guess? Nextjs and Gatsby are what they are for very good reasons and backend apis can be written in whatever you please these days... Why would you consider using those dinosaurs again? When that is all you and your team is comfortable with?

My beef with software patents is bigger than my dislike of the Facebook institution. I think something like a weak patent clause would be nice for FOSS projects but it's not explored by many so far.

Interestingly more people seem blatently annoyed that their employer forbids them to use e.g. React and not about what the license actually means.

My favorites are the collection of functions offered by the graphql-tools package. Like composing your schema from strings instead of the verbose JSON definition. The mocking is also neat.

Apollo is really just a tool-box of a lot neat little things that you can put together or omit. Check out their other packages beside apollo-client.

Oh man.

Proponents say critics dont offer alternatives at the same time they always literally 'reverse' engineered sessions if you dig deep enough.

I give up. JWT is just a hip thing to do right now. :(

Hard to believe. We have fortified foods and it should be rather hard to catch a nutrition deficiency, even if your diet solely consists of cheeseburgers (This probably differs from country to country).

Vitamin D can be found in Fish, Egg and it's even added to Milk.

Downvoted ofc. To be more elaborate: Node never claimed to do multithreading or being good at parallel processing. The shocking discovery of this article is:

1) The Author knows little about JS.

2) Picking on a scripting language which has 2 weeks + 2 years of development vs a 25 year old monster that is the playground of the brightest minds in CS, is easy.

Unfortunately the article did also not go into details of how the event loop works or shows how you can break out of the single thread with the tools that ARE available to you. I guess the idea was to write a hype article for Haskell. Here are some more ideas for the author:

Comparing Haskell and C++ type systems.

Comparing Haskell and Clojure functional purity and lazy evaluation.

Comparing Haskell and Java deterministic parallelism.

Love for TypeScript 10 years ago

does TS2 fix this?

    function uhoh (x:string|number) {
        if (typeof x === 'string') {
            return x.length
        } else {
            return 'bar'
        }
    }

    const a = uhoh('foo') //= string | number
    const b = uhoh(3)     //= string | number

That is 10 years overdue and the main reason I closed my account years ago. It was like looking at a sponsored gawker newsfeed.

Today people do not even mention it anymore. Wether i meet new people or when i connect with old friends. Facebook disappeared from my life as quickly as it came in.

Do HN people still use Facebook?

However: It won't be an career upgrade :/

I know very talented people and i guess that unless land a well paying job in the gaming or movie industry (good luck with that) you end up freelancing for construction companies and architects. Aligning sofas and tables...

Async-functions are the answer to all his problems. I generally agree on his conclusion though: Do small things, don't build big systems.

I hate that JS trys to be this OO-FP hybrid. Jack of all trades, master of none.
