How would this vaccine work for people who are already infected?
Seeing how closely TopShell resembles Haskell I am curious why you chose to implement it in Scala rather than Haskell or Purescript.
Setting the QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 env var does the trick for Zoom on my end.
It doesn't have a notch. This makes it better than the real iPhone. Too bad they added a software one.
What is the best location to watch the launch from?
The only thing I like about it is the fact that it removes the need for the `fun` keyword. Otherwise it just adds noise in my opinion.
I for one am not. What is wrong with calling a plain function?
I use it as a general purpose calculator.

I have a feeling Microsoft will open source Windows soon.
I love how VS Code has no problem working with large and even minified files (unlike some other “modern” editors). Every update is just icing on the cake.
Keep up the good work!
One of my favorite new features has got to be true color support.
VS Code has much better git integration than Atom will ever have out of the box because Atom does not want to compete with GitHub for Desktop.
JavaScript everywhere.
In my country (Romania) HIV was actually spread through vaccinations. Indeed that is how I got infected as an infant. The problem was supposedly not with the vaccines themselves though but with the fact that they were reusing needles.
Congrats and keep up the good work!
This is my experience as well. I am really impressed at how VS Code as no problem working with large and minified files.
Love it! I can see my self using this tool to create perfect SVG icons.
One thing it looks like it is missing is zooming.
I actually admire Sindre for his great contributions to the JS ecosystem. Keep up the good work!
The announcement hasn’t been made yet. It should be at 9am PDT. The posts you saw on HN were linkbait.
Yes, that is absolutely what it means. Works beautifully on my Retina Macbook Pro.
They dropped React a while ago.
Actually there is a positive 0 and a negative 0 in JavaScript. Try 1/+0 and 1/-0 in your browser console and notice how the result is different for each (+Infinity and -Infinity respectively).
Why go through the trouble and reinvent the wheel and not use one of the available protocols and serialization methods?
I have been using inline styles in React with great results too. I am glad to see more and more adoption. It leads to better portability and greater flexibility.
Canvas is hardware accelerated.
I think this is a very good question, and the short answer in my opinion is yes, canvas rendering would make it much faster (as the guys at Flipboard have shown [1]). The downside is you would have to implement your own rendering engine from scratch which is quite challenging.
