Just wanted to say congrats on the project. This is truly a masterpiece from the utility of it, the novelty, to execution with the vscode / meridian app, and sass. Brilliant execution!

I feel like it shouldn't be the classes responsibility to provide a method to return a nullable / falsey value. We should have a convenient one-line syntax around try / catch. Something like pipe operators and or pattern matching.

I've gotten a couple gel manicures recently, it's addicting once you start because it lasts a long time. I'm taking a break from it because it makes your nails brittle. They make special gloves you can wear that just expose your nails, ideally I was thinking the same technology in 3d projection mapping could be used to only expose the nailbed to uv ligt with hand tracking. It would increase the the cost of one of these uv curing devices by smartifying it but would prevent cancer...

Is there any DIY / 3D Printed community-made projects around designing household appliances? I'm mainly thinking about vacuums but even blenders and other things. Im not talking about everything being hand-made but designs can be made with popular motors, blades, and things of that nature. I like the idea of an off-the-shelf vacuum using the most efficient or readily available motors, and bags.

It's really because we have some wonderful collaboration between vendors now, and they don't want to have to come up with their own APIs.

I've been using the native Uint8Array that Deno provides and it's been great overall. From time to time I may need to covert away from a Buffer type and it's a little bit of a headache, but I think the ecosystem is supporting Uint8Array, at least on the server very well.

Ask HN: Who are the Van Gogh of coders?
Vincent van Gogh was notoriously unable to enjoy his fame. It was only after his death that he became the renowned figure we know today. I am curious whether this phenomenon of post-mortem recognition is also observed within the software community. With the advent of the internet, I wonder if there are coders who have innovated and remained unheard, fervently writing about their ideas with no...

I agree with this article, however I think that HTMX needs a strong server framework to support HTMX. I've thought about this alot and a couple months back created this deno / typescript framework https://github.com/reggi/htmx-components, would love for people to take a look at it and provide guidance and direction for a releasable version.

Hey! That would be really cool and interesting. You'd still need all the creators to agree on a pricing structure based on the transparency mentioned in the article, you'd still need to pay engineers and cover server costs.

Re:Ask HN: How do you install developer tools on a fresh system?
on Monday June 20, 2016 @10:30AM (#11938247)
I'm very interested in a way to containerize (runing them within a vm) these tools that way nothing needs to be installed, and could go easily from machine to machine, without polluting the filesystem.
Re:Ask HN: How do you maintain and organize JavaScript?
on Monday June 06, 2016 @03:53PM (#11849783)
Thanks for this! This is really helpful. To expand further, I can't tell you how many times I've written something as simple as a promised version of fs exists, and if you do copy and paste something like that into your project you have to bring it's deps (tracking them down in package.json) in and tests (for full coverage into your new project. Alternatively you make it a one-off npm module. It just seems like both those options are cumbersome and inefficient for one function. I'm very much against the MVC setup (I'm working with mainly API's), and as well as OOP in general, and write a ton of very small functions, some that expand on tools like lodash, and that I use a lot. This is where it gets harder and harder to maintain them.
Ask HN: How do you maintain and organize JavaScript?
I have written so much javascript over the years, specifically nodejs. I have tons of folders and files of code that is in some half-baked state. It's safe to say I'm overwhelmed and unorganized. I feel like I write the same couple of functions over and over again, reinventing the wheel again and again.I'm reaching out to the community looking for some alternative. I want to write code, test...
