What steps do you think you'll be taking to never have to deal with this again?

Search in repos that have X dependencies. For instance, I want to find a file named `_app.ts` in repos where next and typescript is installed.

The text on this blog needs more line height. I find myself tracing lines in order to read.

Make it.

I thought you did a fantastic job, too.

You know it's a Tailwind site with a single look.

An actual inline style would suffice in this case. Before v2.0, if you want anything other than `top: 0`, it was recommended you do it in the style attribute: `style="top: 20px;"`

In many cases, stacking encryption algorithms actually weakens the resulting security.

Could you, please, explain how?

I, for one, do not mind developers adhering to some common patterns/best practices. Whenever I open a codebase foreign to me, I bank on those patterns to understand the app to be able to contribute, learn, etc. Seeing new patterns would be helpful to myself, of course. But, there's a good chance I would bail out if I don't have a huge need learning that codebase.

Even Google has this problem[0].

Could you add post points and how much time since/when was the article posted? It would help as some topics do not age as well as others. Having sorting (most popular, most recent) and range search (last year, custom range) would also help those who want to narrow their search.

I very much prefer his older TV appearances to his more recent ones as he used to elaborate and present you with evidence on the spot. Nowadays, he keeps his input to a minimum on a given interview which is often unconvincing and borderline dismissive. I should keep in mind that he's 90 of age, though.

OOOH! That makes sense. Yes, it was off of a public tracker. So, this is a P2P file sharing website, then?

How does instant.io work? I just "download" from magnet, and the app hangs in there for ages[0].

I disagree. Using this thing for an hour, users with emojis are more distinguishable at a glance. I often face this issue with HN where I have to read the user's username to know if they're OP. Twitter usernames with emojis, however, is really obnoxious.

I really hope this takes off. I already love it to the exclusion of Twitter with its thought leader wannabes and tech comedians.

It might raise the quality of the content on Minichan.

Coming from an imageboard myself, I think about this often. The "serious" users keep comparing themselves to Reddit when they should strive to be more like HN, instead. Now HN is home -- literally; it's my homepage.

The hero image is 3104x1876 scaled to 900x500. It's totally butchered and illegible.

I don't grind my teeth, but one thing I do is that I hold my breath when I'm thinking or doing something irritating like reading bad docs. When I started programming two years ago, I thought that it would be impossible for me to continue because I was stuck too often and didn't breathe. It got a little better since then.

What are you referring to? I find IRC irritating, personally.

A tyranny of the majority is most certainly a thing. You defining that majority based on race and drawing conclusions is your call, not everyone's.

Coming from an Islamic country, minorities such as gay people or non-religious people cannot seek legal action without a strong sense of a chilling effect.

In the US, you have the electoral college as an attempt to amplify small state's voices to not have states with massive populations dictate who's president (at least in spirit, as I understand the implementation is far from perfect) which is understandable, since states are _first-class citizens_. The other thing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that you have the house and the senate. The senate adheres to that first-class citizenship of states, while the house is a direct representation of citizens (blocks of them), which makes a tyranny of a majority (e.g. one-size-fits-all bill that suits people of California but wouldn't go well with the people of Wyoming) impossible.

So, if you don't feel like there is a tyranny of a majority in the US, you perhaps have to thank your legislative process for that. That sadly, does not map to private entities.

One of my more used quotes. Page 35 on the document.

He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side; if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion. The rational position for him would be suspension of judgment, and unless he contents himself with that, he is either led by authority, or adopts, like the generality of the world, the side to which he feels most inclination. Nor is it enough that he should hear the arguments of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or bring them into real contact with his own mind. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them; who defend them in earnest, and do their very utmost for them. He must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form; he must feel the whole force of the difficulty which the true view of the subject has to encounter and dispose of; else he will never really possess himself of the portion of truth which meets and removes that difficulty.

What a measured response!

Everyone is drawing conclusions without much context. Read the design doc[0].

[0] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_WvwHl7BXUPmoiSeD8G83JmS...

In the design doc, you can read this disclaimer:

Most people don't have the context to understand this narrow technical document - it is only applicable to a very particular, very technical situation in the internals of Deno. This is not at all a reflection on the usefulness of TypeScript in general. It's not a discussion about any publicly visible interface in Deno. Deno, of course, will support TypeScript forever. A website or server written in TypeScript is a very very different type of program than Deno - maybe much more so than novice programmers can appreciate - little of Deno is written in TypeScript. The target audience is the 5 to 10 people who work on this particular internal system. Please don't draw any broader conclusions.

not the languages's fault.

I think that's the whole point. It's not the right tool for their specific goal.

In their design doc[0], they agree that Rust glue code should not be written in TS: compiled code "full of weird namespaces."

From the design doc discussion[0]:

ry: manually managing the d.ts files has been great - it's very much part of the public interface - we need to have 100% control over it we do not want random compiler-generated __namespace0123 in there This is the same situation - but for the bundle It's not good that we do not have visibility nor control over what code is in there. for example, the TS compiler worker, has 15k lines of code in its bundle - EXCLUDING typescript.js TS compiler worker is about 500 line thing that interfaces between ops and TSC this is caused by our attempt to "self host" the internal code self hosting is cute - but if it's effecting performance and the ability to make improvements - it's an unnecessary feature https://gist.github.com/ry/a6d4b1466158d82750a6447342fd3af4 ^--- here is what we ship for the compiler worker we call this code every time deno runs

lucacasonato: Ok, wow. I hadn't seen this. That changes things...

ry: does the compiler worker really need to generate a UUID? https://gist.github.com/ry/a6d4b1466158d82750a6447342fd3af4#... (no) yes, this is fixable within the current system .. but the point is that we're abstracting away the important parts V8 does not run typescript. It runs JS. We need to have a good handle on the JS we ship If we don't try to self-host, we don't need a sourcemap for the internal code. There's 1mb off the executable right there. The point is the internal typescript comes at a cost - and that cost is too high.

lucacasonato: So the actual issue is the bundling and opaqueness that that brings with it. It makes sense to stick to pure JS in that case. Its annoying that type checking is gone, but youre right. This is not the kind of code that should be in the runtime.

ry: not like the code isn't full of "!" anyway. TS is great, but it gives a false sense of security.

I thought that was Mad Rush for a second.
