Re:TypeSpec: A new language for API-centric development on Tuesday April 30, 2024 @06:16AM (#40209225)
You can create your own emitters, there's info in the docs on how to do so. My team built a custom TypeSpec emitter to output a SDK and set of libraries
Re:Podman Desktop: A Free OSS Alternative to Docker Desktop on Thursday November 10, 2022 @03:03PM (#33552389)
Been running Docker under WSL for a few years. Don't need systemd if you're either happy to start it manually with an alias or poke it into one of your profile/logon scripts.

The experience is light-years ahead of the monstrosity that is Docker Desktop

Trust me, nothing has been ported to .NET, nothing would be gained from such a move. That's not how Microsoft works. Source: I work at Microsoft
Re:Deno v1.27 on Thursday October 27, 2022 @04:43PM (#33363764)
Yeah NH gives a warped lens on how ready these runtimes & frameworks are for real work. Threads about Deno and Bun pop up almost weekly, yet in my experience they remain a long, LONG way from the stable (and admittedly stale) experience we have with Node and NPM
Re:Ray tracing Voxels made out of Glass on Sunday October 23, 2022 @01:51PM (#33308782)
Same. I've been doing a bunch of WebGL side project stuff and yet this site claims I can't run it. There's some broken detection code I think
Re:Bun v0.2.0 on Friday October 14, 2022 @03:07AM (#33200455)
As a 'drop in' replacement for Node, bun has a long way to go, there's many gaps and incompatibilities.

If need to change my existing code, I might as well switch over to a much more mature runtime like Deno

Re:ContainerSSH: Launch containers on demand on Saturday September 10, 2022 @06:12AM (#32789279)
Sounds a lot like VS Code devcontainers https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
But the same issue would happen on AWS, it's an Ubuntu problem caused by Canonical
Re:Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown on Sunday August 14, 2022 @08:41AM (#32458781)
I've given Bun a spin against several of my older Node.js projects and the lack of Express support killed it for me.

As a drop in replacement for Node it has a long way to go. A promising start, but I'll check back in a year

Re:Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown on Sunday August 14, 2022 @08:35AM (#32458742)
I suggest never access native files, if you are still keeping your code in C:\ somewhere I think you're approaching WSL the wrong way. Go all in and I've never looked back
Re:Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown on Sunday August 14, 2022 @07:33AM (#32458403)
Not saying you're wrong about the windows support but when it comes to WSL, my entire department uses WSL for their primary development environment
Re:Burn All GIFs (2000) on Friday August 12, 2022 @11:22AM (#32439913)
I remember the hullabaloo around this patent and using GIFs at the time.

But nothing ever came of it, did it? People just ignored the patent and carried on as normal as far as I can tell.

The Amiga (and the Atari ST to a lesser extent) really marked the end of the 8-bit era.

Maybe once the 386 came along then PC stepped into the picture

Re:Terraform Provider for Spotify on Thursday April 28, 2022 @03:51AM (#31189829)
If you've never used Go, then writing a Terraform provider is a really bad way to start learning.

Why do you think you need to write your own provider? Most people use the large ecosystem of prebuilt providers, and never write a single line of code

Seriously though, for small web apps, or even light REST API this could be useful

Re:Can we trust Microsoft with open source? on Saturday October 23, 2021 @01:57PM (#28970764)
VSCode extension are written in Typescript but most of them rely on a language server for things like refactoring, type hints, code completion etc. These language servers run as native process (written in Go, C# etc), so are (roughly) as fast as your machine is.

If these operations take over a second it may be an issue with your machine or install of VS Code

Re:Docker Desktop no longer free for large companies on Tuesday August 31, 2021 @12:23PM (#28369971)
I do all my work under WSL, and run Docker engine in WSL and it works perfectly. 100% headless.

I may have had to expose the Docker socket for VS Code containers support to work, but that wasn't any pain, and secured with TLS.

Never needed Docker Desktop, which seemed like a bloated mess.

Re:GitHub’s engineering team has moved to Codespaces on Thursday August 12, 2021 @06:53AM (#28154628)
There is 'Discussions' for this, which you can enable per repo on GitHub, and have a sort of chat / forum as part of the repo
Re:GitHub was having issues on Wednesday June 02, 2021 @07:57AM (#27367639)
GitHub were pretty open about having issues with Bitcoin mining abusing the free compute available via Actions. I think it's an ongoing battle and one which is having a wider platform impact

How far do you take that line of reasoning? Base64 is text?
