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!

I only heard about it through a YouTube recommendation. Very cool features. I may give it a whirl next.

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

If they had empathy, they wouldn’t be conservative.

I always wonder about that because you need a lot of people to function in an “end of the world scenario”. It just feels like the ones that are doing the real work are the ones with the power in that case.

I think that was the origins of it and can be celebrated that way.

However, I feel it has most certainly been hijacked by religion and capitalism since then in certain parts of the world.

I enjoy it due to having time off, so I’ll take that :P

I think they’re stupid too. Going into an interview is already stressful enough and these types of questions don’t put me into “problem solving” mode. They put me into “brain teaser” mode which is a different type of thinking for me. You know how we nailed these questions when I was in uni? We traded them after our interviews between each other and you just had to pretend you’ve never heard it before. So the main thing people were testing was whether or not the question had made it to them.

For programming, there are so many better ways to test out of the box thinking to me … I think the “what happens when you press a letter into a web browser address bar” or something is better and at least relevant. One that I like is, “there’s an outage in production, how would you go about diagnosing it?” Then as an interviewer I’d reshape the scenario and see where they put their focus and where they give up.

A few at work where we’ve met up afterwards.

Traveling abroad and saw a few people and we linked up and took pictures and shared WhatsApp contacts.

I met this girl at a wine tasting and after the first date she just wants to be friends, does that count?

I think even if you get Prime you still get ads unless you pay an extra monthly fee.

Obviously this varies but I found myself walking far more in Europe than in the US.

Also, some of the obesity I saw in the States I didn’t see anywhere else. It was wild.

Once again, all anecdotal.

Shows you the type of people that are on Lemmy.

“stop defending corporations”

It’s like we hate the corporation too but they’re correct in this instance.

Some people say you can buy the tokens instead of a monthly subscription. They’re not as openly offered as they get more cash from monthly obviously.

Ah yes, any time Trump is offended he calls people “nasty” and horrible people and all that shit. When he offends others, it’s a privilege …

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.

They can’t afford to pay so many mods! You’re crazy! /s

Now, if you’ll excuse him … he’s buying a new yacht.

My friend told me that one of her former colleagues, wicked smart dude, was talking to her about space. Then he went off about how there were pyramids on Mars. She was like, “oh … I’m quite caught up on this stuff and I haven’t heard of this info. Where can I find this info?” The guy apparently has been having super long chats with whatever LLMand thinks that they’re now diving into the “truth” now.
