this isn’t a community that they moderate tho

for people ootl on D like me, this seems to explain the problems: https://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-arsd/Blog.Posted_2024_01_01.html

json doesn’t have ints, it has Numbers, which are ieee754 floats. if you want to precisely store the full range of a 64 bit int (anything larger than 2^53 -1) then string is indeed the correct type

tailscale also just has a button to buy/enable mullvad as an exit node. if you’re just looking for a commercial vpn for privacy it works well.

not sure what you’re talking about with lisp lol, the military may have some dialect they wrote but lisp started as an academic language and there’s plenty of still supported and used dialects outside of that

what does jquery give you that vanilla js doesn’t? it was good before browser inconsistencies got ironed out and js didn’t have as many features built in, but nowadays I have no idea why someone would need it

decent framework

jquery

It’s current year, you have to choose one. there really isn’t any reason to use jquery other than legacy code

lol that doesn’t work either tho. it yields the string once and then is done. you still need a loop inside

it felt to me like coffeescript solved problems that people had, then js got equivalent features. arguably that could happen to ts as well

I’ve been using vscode in firefox via tunnel to my main machine on my android tablet and it’s been working well enough

Mine has just started to have problems with the steam button and the right stick not registering presses. There really aren’t alternatives and I’m devastated. Probably going to have to buy used ones off ebay if I can’t fix it.

this guy writes shitty code

I’ve found it to be less strict than I’d prefer. Things like whether parameters are aligned or indented, whether or not the first one is on its own line, what statements are indented in fluent calls that have blocks, etc.

A lot of other formatters (prettier, anything for python, etc) force something consistent in those cases, whereas it seems like the dotnet formatter prefers to leave things as they were.

I’d love for it to be more opinionated and heavy handed if anyone has suggestions

I refuse to believe that people use a php style guide. I have yet to open a php file in the course of any job that doesn’t mix tabs and spaces arbitrarily on top of numerous other horrors.

Luckily it’s not often that I have to, so sample size may play in a bit…

you’re starting to get stalkery

yes, it doesn’t run plasma when it’s in big picture, it runs it in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope along with other tweaks, so it’s lower overhead and game windows tend to behave better

it also handles updates to os as well as to steam so you don’t ever end up with an update that breaks steam, they’re always in sync

There is some surprising behavior with some of the features of yaml, mostly arising from the fact that it looks nice to read. Here’s a list of things that you can avoid to avoid a lot of the pitfalls: https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/why/ . I haven’t actually used strictyaml, but the arguments it presents are pretty solid and some are things I’ve run into in real environments

V8 also doesn’t run js, it does some byte code compilation stuff amongst other things, then interprets that. But that’s all a bit pedantic too, V8 runs js, deno runs ts.

fwiw https://deno.com even has as one of their first bullet points that they have “native support for TypeScript and JSX”

I mean, tsc without any of the backporting functionality is still a transpiler since it goes from a high level language(ts) to another high level language(js). Transpilation as a concept doesn’t imply that it is for backporting language features or that the source and destination languages are the same, just that it is a transformation from source code to a similar or higher abstraction level language source code

I don’t think it really fractures anything considering you can call a ts package from js without knowing. The other way also works with third party typings in DefinitelyTyped.

It really just adds a bit of extra type info into js, looks like js, and transpiles into js that looks almost exactly like the input, including comments and spacing and such if you like, so there isn’t any lockin.

There isn’t any competition, it’s just an extra optional tool for the js ecosystem in my eyes.
