Re:Building TypeScript Projects with Bazel on Saturday December 22, 2018 @12:32AM (#18739118)
I am not very familiar with build systems but how difficult would it be to make one that wraps the native ones whenever and provides modern features, unlike make.

Look I'm all against separating children from parents when there is no certain proof that they are being trafficked. There should be a children + assumed-parent holding area.

But when I see Chinese being bussed in to make American babies but hardworking immigrants not being citizens, I am firmly against it

As much as hyper-v. Without sounding disparaging (because this is really cool), its just a one-click application-on-windows-on-hyper-v. So all the pros and cons come with it.
Re:Windows Sandbox on Wednesday December 19, 2018 @01:49AM (#18713633)
Then make Hyper-v home.

Seriously this is a killer feature needed by everybody. And specially the non-pro users.

Okay. Thank you.

I want to get a vote on indented nested blocks- how many of you like them? Please up the appropriate child comments (if I'm rate limited someone else please make child comments with like and unlike).

My reasoning (please give yours below proper heading)- I'm deadly afraid of refactoring or even accidental indentation change.

Read very much
Are all your newsletters a blog post too? Because I've been wondering where I can read your stuff in one place.

Thanks, I don't agree with the "good" part of intellij idea. Popular, sure. But slow as hell and ram hungry.

I don't see why one should be well versed in stupid hollywood-isms.:)And hackernews is a derogatory term that I will have you know I am very offended by. Better only than web-boy

What would that be?
Re:How Sketch Took on Adobe on Monday December 17, 2018 @12:12PM (#18700274)
Why did you specifically talk about budget? Are cpp programmers expensive? What would be cheaper?

Oh right. I just googled. Why add two canonical sources when the original github does a fine job and is also publicly editable (by pull requests)?

Wasn't emacs farther ahead for full-time programmers though? I'd love to see if there were some historical stats.

You guys created language server protocol, right? I think langserver.org is owned by sg?

As an end user, one thing I care a lot about is if the dev env would be truly integrated. I want a one-click/command install of everything that I need for my vim to be a rust IDE. I tried in vscode and had to install two different plugins (one of which had a similar name to another and I had to go look up which one to install) python and then lldb using admin permissions which failed on my school computers .

Side: Has emacs been losing traction slowly? It's a third of vim!

I went to that date but couldn't see anything.

Two questions- how do major cloud providers (azure,aws,heroku)handle storage failures?

What are some best practices for personal hard drive crash warly-warning?

What is an example of a commonly used complex instruction that is "simplified"/DNE in RISC? (in asm, not binary)

I don't know what country you're in but in cricket there's a concept of innings and scoring runs. There's this dude who averaged nearly a 100 in every innings, most others average 50.

Now think of the situation as him scoring a few knots. Is he old and retiring? Or is this just a slump in form? Nobody knows!

I worked for a design team and we were proud of our material engineers.

Ask HN: If you owned the sublime text company- would you liense out the GUI kit?

I feel like VS Code is eating their lunch on the sublime text front and there are too many GIT front ends for them to make a significant difference. If they license out the GUI kit- it's a win win for both the owners of sublime and GUI devs. I'd prefer a native cross platform GUI and while some prefer electron because of js+css combo- that speed would be a good factor in bringing them to...
