This has also become my biggest issue with Typescript, and a lot of the people I have talked to about it agree this is the biggest pain point. I am not sure what a better system for this would be, but I do hope the Typescript team takes a hard look at this because I could see it being Typescript's Achilles heel.

nice! this is a fun project so I ma glad you are wanting to go further with it.

Neat! If I can make one suggestion: I know this is usually not at all what people should with websites, but consider hijacking basic browser hotkeys to augment the shell. Tab for auto complete instead of select next element would be a good start, and I think in this type of situation its acceptable to hijack.

There are at least a couple out there. Snapchat turned down a $3B offer from Facebook to stay independent, and I believe Twitter have turned down similar offers through the years.

I mean, Ultima Online was out there at the time and had a great playerbase. It's not hard to imagine that most of Origin's focus had shifted toward the MMO platform they helped invent.

This is exactly the point I've been making to my friends who think like the commenter you replied to. "Forcing people to have some ability to load programs" is exactly why so many people use Apple products; because it's extremely intuitive for non-technology inclined people to use.

I highly doubt that devs are the ones who make the decision to put everything behind the walled garden of an entirely separate app store. Although I would agree that devs do shoulder some of the blame for relying on electron and other such technologies for building these things.

To be fair, the author of the article and the person who posted this are the same person. A medium article isn't too far away from a chan posting. Anyone can hop on and write whatever they want, and then post it here.

Not gonna lie, there's a lot to not like about this article.

I went in pretty skeptical, as I do on all articles touching on this subject matter, but when I saw that the authors link to "world leaders and other influentials" stating they wanted to change society was a quote from a British model, I lost all hope.

Please use better sources for fear mongering next time.

I considered this as well, although from my view I think it just shows how uncreative a lot of people in tech are. this type of messaging clearly works, or we wouldn't see it constantly.

oh please, so now every time someone claims they want to "change lives" we must heap praise on them just in case someone at some point will actually want to do it?

does software change peoples lives? absolutely. should we be encouraging people to participate and build software that can legitimately achieve this? absolutely. is there a pervasiveness in tech to constantly frame, no matter what technology is being worked on, in the light of "changing lives"? in my opinion, yes. I see it constantly in the tech industry, and at this point it is essentially a marketing gimmick. im saying I find it irritating that the tech industry is unable to market themselves and their technologies without this blanket statement.

the tech industry and its insistence upon framing everything around "improving lives" is extremely grating. this guy feels unfulfilled and like he hasn't improved anyones life so he tries to make a browser?

i really wish people like this would just come out and say "yea i am successful and i am going to keep pushing because i think i can do better." is that really so bad?

Once you accept that everything is a simulation and nothing is real, the price of Bitcoin makes perfect sense.

Civil Asset Forfeiture is one of the greatest constitutional crises of the modern era United States. It's existence is evidence that the federal government plans to continue furthering its encroachment on civil liberties and I truly hope that the people can find a way to get rid of it. 84 percent of Americans reportedly oppose it, and I often have a hard time understanding how the Supreme Court hasn't struck it down (outside of the obvious reason they don't, which is to continue to have stronger federal power).

I'm in the same boat as you and I just started taking classes at my local community college/university. Options are affordable and lots of online offerings.

I recently did this same project in Javascript and you're correct, shunting yard is perfect for this.

I think fault, specifically when it comes to litigation, is something that will end up holding back self-driving cars (at least in the USA). If there is an accident or someone is injured, who ends up getting sued? How does insurance resolve these claims?

Please note that I am not saying I think someone needs to get sued. I just think that the concept of liability is deeply ingrained in the American legal and insurance systems, and I almost forsee a future where we cannot come to terms with who is liable in different situations and it coming to preventing the adoption of and progression of self-driving vehicles.

Looks pretty neat! I wonder if multiple repl's can hook up to a singular database, this post makes it sound like it's a 1:1 relationship. Either way Repl stays adding great features.

I would love to be this clever

I can second the 'make a calculator' as a place to get started with this, that's a solid project to get the basics of flexing -> parsing -> evaluation. Helped me learn a ton when I first wanted to approach this problem.

On a side note, I pretty annoyed by the prevelance of 'So you want to be a <insert something here>' titled articles. It's so common around now and just doesn't seem to express good intent about what is actually going to be in an article at this point.

Firefox just keeps looking better and better. Lots of features added and QoL increases. I have switched over to using it for general browsing, but continue to use chrome for development. That might be changing real soon!

Seems like promising technology that I will be following, but I will remain cautious with my expectations. It seems like every week or so a new, revolutionary technology pops up and completely loses steam.

I visited a couple of months ago, and if you're an English speaker then there is little in the way of a language barrier. I don't think I met a single Icelandic person who didn't speak English while I was there.

Good on the Go Team listening to the community, I definitely saw more people against this feature than for it.

I hope they take another stab at improving error handling. I like Go a lot and do think error handling is one place it could use improvements.
