This is really well done. If you use this, please consider donating. (I'm not affiliated in any way, I just saw on the about page that it's self funded and costs $200/mo). Here's the patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/trailrouter

Note that this doesn't work on macOS, where the builtin `man` command doesn't support the `-l` option.

This PEP is burying the lede -- it introduces a `@sealed` decorator, which gives python ADTs: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0622/#sealed-classes-as-...

> just mark a function `async` and throw an `await` ... to [move] something from blocking to non-blocking.

That's not how it works. `async` and `await` are merely syntactic sugar around callbacks. Everything in javascript is already nonblocking[1], whether or not you use async/await.

[1] There are a few rare exceptions in node js (functions suffixed with "Sync"), but in the same vein, they are blocking whether or not you use async/await.

Indeed. A variant of the classic XY problem: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem

Does this, or any other distribution of chromium, have an auto-update mechanism similar to chrome's? I dislike having to manually install updates.

Strongly agreed. I'll add that Typescript in general just has way more rough edges than Kotlin, in part because the type system is way more complex (due to the dynamic nature of Javascript). And dealing with third party libraries is way more of a pain, since everything requires type stubs.

My bad. I've updated my HN profile with my email address.

Mint Mobile (a T-Mobile MVNO) has unlimited talk & text with 3GB data (and unlimited throttled data after that) for $15/mo. (I'm not affilliated, just a happy user -- if you want a $15 credit, DM me for a referral code.)

> Every other major language besides Python allows the former

As noted in a reply to your other comment, this is not true -- Ruby has the equivalent of Python's GIL.

It is.

Thank you, I had no idea that's why these links haven't been loading. Just switched back to google's resolver (8.8.8.8).

Anyone can add themself to the list, so those will be in there too. (:

It's not a list of "great" engineers. It's just a list of engineers. Anyone can add themself to the list.

Anyone know the best way to get started with suing them? Or should I assume that's already being done?

I like the idea. My feedback: the name seems like it's going to confuse people. I almost skipped by this post when I saw the name at a glance because I'm not particularly interested in 3D graphics.

Because hackernews has a policy/history of editing titles to be more useful/descriptive and less clickbaity.

Almost sounds like you're... outraged? Perhaps trying to build up community outrage?

Mods: can you add [2015] to the title?

Some friendly advice: you called his charts utterly meaningless but didn't give a single specific issue you had with understanding them. While it would've helped to have unit labels on the Y axis, I was able to understand all of them.

Also, "wall of text" generally refers to a long piece of text lacking formatting, punctuation, and separation into paragraphs and sections. This article, while long, does not have those problems.

Terminology nit: Flow control is not the same as control flow (which is sometimes referred to as flow of control... yeah it's confusing).

No.

Yes, but saying "there is no evidence of X" is not claiming evidence of absence. That would be "There is evidence of not X", which the paper does not claim.

> The founder didn't do any market research ... before quitting their job

That was the entire point of the article (written by the founder). What was the point of this comment?

This comment says more about you than it does about Plaid. Their "insane" design met business requirements successfully enough to grow them into a multi-billion dollar company.

Did you consider the likely (and more charitable) explanation that they were aware their design was "bad", but had higher priorities until now?

If I were you, I'd be pulling your comment before it harms your reputation any further. :)

Why would it not match up with the example given? They provided it so you'd know the answer to your question.

This is nonsense. Static types can represent things with a non-fixed set of attributes just fine.

Also, note that the article isn't implying what you are: "Where stronger types are naturally present in the program, taking advantage of them to get better testing is certainly worth doing..."

It's hard to understand how someone would want to share their explorations with others?

Sure, but that just changes it to "someone up the chain of command is hopelessly out of touch". Still doesn't bode well.

Don't forget opportunity cost. The future profits need to be higher than the $5B plus liquidation value, PLUS the expected value of another investment at the margin.
