arcosdev··on Show HN: Lisp implementation in modern Java, Go, C#, TypeScript, Python
Why would you write Typescript this way? The Lisp > EcmaScript should be way more terse.
arcosdev··on Show HN: Nextless.js: Full-Stack React SaaS Boilerplate with Auth and Payment
You are right, it is a stupid argument, but does answer "why?"

it's not PHP
arcosdev··on How JavaScript Works: deep dive into call, apply, and bind
We shouldn't use 'class' either
arcosdev··on What went wrong with the Texas power grid?
-6°C is pretty damn cold _inside_ a house.
arcosdev··on How the Canadian Tech Scene Encourages Finite Gameplay
Good? Trying to be like SV and push Canada in that direction is toxic. I agree salaries should be better, but they should be better across all sectors, not just technology.
arcosdev··on Canada to apply GST/HST to short-term rentals booked online
Even though I've used Airbnb. I have to agree with you.
arcosdev··on The Vikings Were More Complicated Than You Might Think
You're just thinking of Norway. Sweden, Denmark and Finland do not have the same oil riches
arcosdev··on Dreading a dark winter lockdown? Think like a Norwegian
This article is a bunch of crap and just glosses over what a hellscape it is once you add children to the mix. You can't change your mindset and invest in new hobbies when you have a kid that is as depressed about the lack of sun as you are.
arcosdev··on Classes are a way of writing higher order functions
I would agree with you if JS wasn't JS. It is a terrible language to write OOP-style code in and a much better one to write functional-style code in. It is inherently a more functional language.
arcosdev··on Named arguments are coming in PHP 8
Why not use a dictionary or parameter object when you get past 2 arguments? Or is that not a thing in PHP?
arcosdev··on I Don't Use Classes
I would argue no they are not. I am thinking of their implementation in python specifically, so my understanding is likely skewed.

My notion of composition with classes would be:

  class Dog(object):
    def __init__():
      self.wagger = Wagger(); #composing the Wagger class
in python mixins look like this:

  class Dog(object, WaggerMixin):
     ...etc...
arcosdev··on I Don't Use Classes
I'm not sure how using mixins is better. Now you don't know half the time what is overriding what. Composition seems to be the better tool IMHO.
arcosdev··on Spot the Drowning Child (2015)
In most pools you shouldn't even be allowed in this wave pool unless you can pass a basic swim test. Most of the time that's a given with a kid under 12, but it is not entirely obvious (from the videos) how old the drowners are.
arcosdev··on Tailwind UI
I don't see the point of Tailwind. Why not just write inline styles and get straight to making an manageable mess right from the start? No need for a framework to help you with that. Most developers will abuse Tailwind and created nonsensical class names like `font-size-20px` or `margin-left-15px` instead of kicking the naming can down the road (as others have pointed out).
arcosdev··on Google's expansion plans show why Canada's tech boom is here to stay
Huh? Toronto's weather is all over the map. One second its -17C, next it's flooding, in the summer 35C+ happens on the regular. Toronto has crazy weather.
arcosdev··on Gridsome – A Vue.js static site generator
Not a big fan of Vue, but to each his own
arcosdev··on How to pack a Norwegian sandwich, the world’s most boring lunch
Italian Canadian, living in Norway. You have no idea the level of mangia cake going on here. It's like no one's palate evolved past preschool.
arcosdev··on Ask HN: How to deal with constantly getting cut off in work discussions?
Italian here, the exact same experience growing up. It was expected that you had a conversation this way. Why waste time waiting for each other to finish?
arcosdev··on Microsoft developer reveals Linux is now more used on Azure than Windows Server
Please release the Linux-flavoured Windows desktop OS Microsoft.
arcosdev··on Vue RFC: Expose logic-related component options via function-based APIs instead
Were they ever really "in fashion"?
arcosdev··on A guide to useEffect in React
They solve the problem of me having to use classes at all.
arcosdev··on Coconut: Pythonic functional programming
I get the nausea shivers when something is described as "curated"
arcosdev··on React.js cheatsheet
Is this better for your eyes?

  React.createElement(
      "div",
      null,
      React.createElement(
        "div",
        null,
        React.createElement(
          "p",
          null,
          React.createElement(
            "a",
            { href: "foo" },
            "Link"
          )
        )
      )
    );
    document.getElementById('root')
  );
arcosdev··on How Does React Tell a Class from a Function?
Because in JavaScript classes are lies.
arcosdev··on Toronto’s Tech Industry
Sorry, I didn't mean to connect the economy with what Doug Ford's government is doing, but his/their actions will ultimately hurt the economy too, it's just not clear yet. What was I alluding to was the decimation of city council and uploading of the TTC to the province. I'm sure there will be more nonsense to come.
arcosdev··on Toronto’s Tech Industry
Toronto has serious housing, traffic, transit and salary problems. It is heavily dependent upon real estate speculation to bolster it's economy and it is quickly being picked a part by the province. This article is trash.
arcosdev··on With Proton and Steam Play, many Windows games now work on Linux
Can they make this work for the Adobe Creative Suite too?
arcosdev··on Free-range parenting outside the US
Yup. As a parent, traffic, specifically distracted driver traffic, scares the living hell out of me. Pretty much everything else I don't worry about.
