Yeah, absolutely agreed.

Btw, you probably already know this, but if you don’t. The later versions of Node can run typescript natively. By “run”, I mean, it can run a subset of the language, if your project indirectly or indirectly references a file that has “decorators” or something like that, then you’ll need to use another compiler.

ts-node or tsx are runners that I use typically if I just want to “run” something. They’re basically zero config runners and I can debug with them with VS Code.

I’m a former .NET dev … I stopped quite a few years ago after I joined a Bay Area company. It was quite a change. React 1 was just coming out and I used to just write bad JS on my webpages and I had to rewrite our front-end in React. Also, ES5 or 6 or whatever was getting popular and we had to transition from CoffeeScript.

The JS world gave me whiplash after doing so many years of Enterprise .NET. The .NET tools felt so much more polished.

The fundamentals of Node to me were different than .NET. .NET felt like it had a lot more cruft and “magic” at first. With Node it felt deceptively simpler at first. Then when the require syntax was going away and we had imports but then it wasn’t a real import. It was a TypeScript import or a webpack import that did a require behind the scenes. Then I had to understand why we used typescript but then what was the point of tsc vs babel vs webpack vs esbuild what their roles were and I kind got a bit obsessed with understanding what they did and what was happening under the hood. Then Node officially did do import and I had to understand what that was all about and how it affected our compilers or bundlers.

Sorry I rant pointlessly. Godspeed on your journey!

Remember to add --enable-source-maps and as long as your tools are configured properly it should point to the right line!

Not yet. Although some people say it’ll be close to the price of an Index although it’s still all speculation.

I’m reminded of an old Simpsons episode: https://youtu.be/UUc9Ojfxq3E?t=106

Bart: “How much do those yoyos cost?”

Milhouse: “I don’t care”

That’s kind of how I feel about this.

Where’s the evidence for this illegal program moving people to get votes?

I know Fox News parrots this shit but is there any evidence for that?

Things I’m seeing online are like … “he does what he says/he keeps his promises” “better for the economy” … fucked that none of those make sense and you’d have to be an idiot to believe

So many believe in the whole American exceptionalism shit so I think they believe some of their shit is their birthright or something.

I only heard about it through a YouTube recommendation. Very cool.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Zorin OS.

Is it any surprise? Any game that’s more popular gets a lot more contrarians.

I want to be a maintainer and help out but I just know it’ll be exhausting. I swap languages/projects all the time. I was on the DB (OLAP), architecture, GenAI and DevOps teams just this year alone. The context switching is really bad. I still would like to contribute but I’d want to pick a project that I used semi-regularly and it’s hard to identify when I’m so scatter-brained :/

The full LTT video outside of the WAN show is a lot better. In it he said that a company can just buy a lot of Steam Machines as their office computers giving no Steam sales to Valve and making them take the hit. He also gave a few more justifications as well as tariffs and others I think.

I remember playing a game, I think it was either Spiderman or Control with Ray Tracing on and I was like “wow, these are amazing!” Then I realized I didn’t actually turn it on. My dumb ass can’t tell the difference.

I never noticed that and now I fear that’s all I’ll hear …

Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff … I’ve been staying away from VR for now.

I’ll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it’s available. Everything about it sounds hype.

Supposed to do the end game content for Expedition 33 but I’ll probably just be doing rounds of Megabonk.

Yup. Trump is doing long-term damage and these guys are gonna go and blame the dems when the longer lasting effects (of non-Dem related things) hit them down the line when someone else is in charge.

Although I may be optimistic saying when someone else is in charge.

lol, just to fit in with everyone 😂

I can’t tell the diff in FPS performance. I wish I could.

When I got my PS5 and played some games I was like, wow the future is here! Turns out I was playing PS4 games. Also I turned on and off ray-tracing for SpiderMan and couldn’t tell either.
