News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Because it's taken VSCode less than 2 years to completely eat Sublime's lunch and dinner.

Re:Zero-Bundle-Size React Server Components on Monday December 21, 2020 @02:35PM (#25498514)
especially weird since you would use `date-fns` (vs. something like moment) specifically because it allows you to include only the functions that you require (via tree-splitting).

lmfao a little dramatic. JS heavy sites _can_ be great experiences if they are developed properly just like <1MB sites can be garbage if they are poorly developed.

Re:U.S. Accuses Google of Illegally Protecting Monopoly on Tuesday October 20, 2020 @12:25PM (#24839265)
Sorry but is it really a monopoly when the reason you're a "monopoly" is that your products are just plain better than the competition?
Y'all need to log off at 8 hours worked. I used to work 8:30 - 4:30 (read: get up at 7, shower, bus at 8, in work at 8:30). Now I work 7 - 3 most days (literally roll out of bed and sit down at my desk). If I'm tired, I'll snooze my alarm for an hour and work 8 - 4. My life is significantly better working from home.
> I built something similar - A set of scripts that generate SQL statements from typescript types to wrap a PostgresSql db.

If you think these are similar I don't think you understand what this is / what it's actually doing.

I have personally saved _thousands_ of dollars in addition to hours of my life not having to commute.

There's an element of seriousness in your sarcastic comment for more than just companies.

> Remote work is a compromise, not an advantage.

for you, maybe.

This is why it shouldn't be required either way. People who want to work from home should be able to work from home. People who would prefer to come into the office should be able to do so. It disappoints me to read comments here about people proclaiming absolutes in either direction. To be clear - I'm an advocate for full-WFH: I am fortunate enough to have a space for working and a space for other. ... but I recognize that some people have different situations at home.
I see "free social interactions" as neither a benefit nor something that can only be obtained on-site.

These "free social interactions" are often just distractions - taking you out of your context, making it difficult for you to be productive.

That's why I love remote + Slack. Slack is async. I can finish what I'm doing before addressing messages there. On-site, people rarely if ever warn of their intention to come talk to you - they just walk up and start talking.

Why is it miserable?

kinda wild that something so important is buried in a huge list of other things. LSP is critical for _anything_ that even _wants_ to compete with VSC.
Re:Nova by Panic on Wednesday September 16, 2020 @04:37PM (#24497531)
With all due respect you gotta come out with a grand slam to get me off of VSCode. This ain't it.
no they aren't
