Re:Adding Go's Defer to the TypeScript Compiler on Sunday August 02, 2026 @09:22PM (#49150176)
I built a library to do something similar: https://www.npmjs.com/package/yaplib

defer is the thing I miss the most coming from Go

I've used http.cat for years to double check what an http code is for. Thank you both for making it!

Re:What's Going on Inside Your Node_modules Folder? on Tuesday March 01, 2022 @10:19PM (#30523256)
I think it's partly because the JS ecosystem doesn't historically have a solid standard library. Doing simple things can require checking for null/undefined/does the runtime support it, etc. Why do it the hard way when you can NPM install it and call it a day?

That's my understanding of it anyway.

Re:Ask HN: Is Alexa Down? on Sunday January 30, 2022 @09:30PM (#30143807)
Down for me in TX.
I'm excited because while B2 + Cloudflare is great, the speed+latency isn't the greatest for some applications. So there's definitely a place for R2 here to compete more with AWS S3 than B2.

This is awesome. Installing packages was already fast, so this is just icing on the cake!

Re:Google Discontinues the Google Home Max on Monday December 14, 2020 @07:34PM (#25425465)
I used to have a Google Home Mini in every room. I've switched to Alexa because I trust them to keep it going a lot more. It helps that Amazon makes money off Alexa since I buy things through the device sometimes.

Outside of GSuite/Workspace I really don't trust Google products anymore and I'm tired of trying.

Re:Remove auto renew from my account on Monday November 02, 2020 @11:25PM (#24976280)
AnyDesk is really good.
I'm frustrated because this will affect backups we have on Drive where I work. Will have to migrate some to B2 because of this.
Agreed, this will go nowhere.

It's important to note that along with the new name they also reduced storage from Unlimited to 2TB on their $12/u/mo plan.
