Whoever thought supporting sexagesimal numbers was a good idea needs to spend some extended time away from their computer to reflect on what they’ve done

It’s a newer, vc funded competitor to the open source battle tested dominant player. It has incentives to lock you in and ultimately is just not that different from node. There’s basically no strategic advantage to using bun, it doesn’t really enable anything you can’t do with node. I have not seen anyone serious choose it yet, but I’ve seen plenty of unserious people use it

The other point is that recent polls suggest the British public are overwhelmingly in support of this legislation [0], which is not reflected in most of the narrative we see online. Whether they support how it has been implemented is a different matter, but the desire to do something is clear.

why stop there? 16-bit bytes would be so much cleaner

the variation I prefer is: never attribute to wisdom that which is adequately explained by stupidity

1. This whole subthread has been about the ?raw approach, not about a hypothetical feature that has not been agreed to yet.

2. Typescript runs before your bundler and has no idea what the bundler is doing, so any transformations you do there are invisible to it.

You keep telling me this is possible today, at this point I'd ask you to please prove it, because if it's true then that's very exciting and I have a bunch of use cases for it.

I think you’re misunderstanding how this project works. The contents of that ?raw file are opaque to the typescript type system, it will see it as a `string`, not as the literal content of the file, therefore it cannot be parsed using template literal types as this project does and cannot be used to derive typescript types from protobuf files.

it happens because people really want to participate in the conversation, and that participation is more important to them than making a meaningful point.

You’re talking about runtime, I’m talking about at compile time

right, but typescript sees that as a `string`, and not a string literal and thus cannot be parsed by this project or others like it.

hey now, the non-voters and the terrible decision makers in the democrats also share in this blame

That would be fairer and more honest

they will probably trickle this info out, the administration said that there was no classified information in the chats, so the atlantic are now free to publish these latest messages. The next step is for the administration to claim that there was nothing "operationally sensitive" in the messages, which will free the atlantic to release the next batch that contradicts that claim. Repeat.

A lot of people who get called TERFs absolutely don't identify as feminists, let alone _radical_ feminists. It's just a meaningless term now

yes, just like almost every other group that voted for it. It's wrong to single out farmers for this.

It’s rarely a case of winner takes all, and in this specific scenario both companies have grown into billion dollar valuations. Seems like it’s working for them, ignoring all the lawsuits

@dang is this story getting flagged? It's appeared under various links in the last 24hrs and does not appear to have ever hit the front page despite a bunch of upvotes. This story seems relevant to HN, and given the policy of careful moderation of stories related to YC-companies perhaps it deserves a spot in the another-chance queue?

This is very exciting! I'm curious if this move eventually unlocks features that have been deemed too expensive/slow so far, e.g. typing `ReactElement` more accurately, typing `TemplateStringsArray` etc

You're in luck! https://github.com/ronami/HypeScript

For me the biggest downside is that they reliably attract vermin. I tried a bunch of things to deter rats but they were ever present when we had hens

I said they've gone "all in", not that they're all using JS/TS now

Those examples aren't representative of the broader industry though. There are far more devs working at former Java and .NET shops that have never written a single line of Ruby and are all in on JS/TS now

No chance, relatively few software companies ever adopted Rails but a huge number went from Java or .NET -> JS/TS. The draw of cross project code reuse and having teams only needing to know a single language remains compelling.

They do have more users than that, but from memory they typically distribute it in some other interesting way - i think there's a CLI that installs and manages it.

it's Oracle's UI library that they encourage their official partners to use. I've had the misfortune of doing some consulting for a company that used it, it's actually very fully featured but the internals are totally insane and very dated.
