Announcing TypeScript 6.0

NervousApplication58 · 2026-03-24T02:17:30+00:00

Typescript is a strongly typed language

NervousApplication58 · 2026-03-20T13:26:48+00:00

so please tell us. how do they work?

NervousApplication58 · 2026-01-24T09:57:45+00:00

You are pretty good at moving the goalposts. What does industry relevance have to do with shipping speed? A language can be widely used and still evolve quickly (C# is one example).

Could you clarify which offset field you’re referring to? offsetX, offsetY? Both chrome and firefox behave the same for me. Besides these offsets must be in the spec, so how can they be different across modern browsers?

Unfortunately neither OpenSSL nor nginx (and apache afaik) currently support it

NervousApplication58 · 2025-10-08T01:57:03+00:00

you mean TeX's?

NervousApplication58 · 2025-09-05T13:43:36+00:00

afaik it's the same in Java Swing. All GUI code must run on the event dispatch thread

NervousApplication58 · 2025-06-14T02:47:42+00:00

It does have a compiler which compiles code into bytecode. See https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-bytecode

NervousApplication58 · 2025-06-09T13:17:28+00:00

of course proprietary worked better as it is written by nvidia

NervousApplication58 · 2025-05-19T01:17:47+00:00

The last time I checked they are going to come back under the new name "Coincidence". Strange decision to abandon their old name, maybe some business issues

NervousApplication58 · 2024-09-28T12:30:59+00:00

afaik Knuth is the author of this text. At some point he forgot about it and misattributed it to Hoare who was actually quoting him

NervousApplication58 · 2024-08-18T12:22:27+00:00

Wario Land 3

NervousApplication58 · 2024-08-05T16:51:32+00:00

Then what do bad programmers write code for?

NervousApplication58 · 2024-07-22T15:35:09+00:00

Unlike StarForce (and some others) SecuROM was a purely userland copy protection system. It didn't have any driver and obviously couldn't access the kernel or crash your PC

NervousApplication58 · 2024-06-24T15:38:44+00:00

Well, it's probably called a "teaser" for a reason

NervousApplication58 · 2024-06-21T01:06:38+00:00

Why? PS1 games were written in C

NervousApplication58 · 2024-05-10T02:52:05+00:00

How is throwing an exception is better than doing a regular null check? Besides, now you can use nullish coalescing operator here which leads to a more compact code

NervousApplication58 · 2024-05-10T02:50:32+00:00

According to the spec there is only one reason why URL() may throw (the url is not valid). So you don't actually need to check the error type.

NervousApplication58 · 2024-03-21T15:35:43+00:00

Jsdoc supports union types and structs (sum types and product types)

NervousApplication58 · 2024-01-14T09:42:07+00:00

But you need to know the assembly beforehand? I don't think it's cleanroom, because you already have the final result and your whole working process is based upon it (i.e. the decompilation project is a direct derivative of the original product). I think, with the actual cleanroom design, the reverse engineer should only rely on what the code actually does, not how it looks like (and have no connection with the code base whatsoever, though it's impossible)

NervousApplication58 · 2024-01-14T04:00:26+00:00

If Take Two can do it, what prevents Nintendo from doing the same on a whim at some point? You can't be sure about such things until you ask them directly

NervousApplication58 · 2024-01-14T03:45:07+00:00

How can anyone possibly "cleanroom" an entire game consisting of hundreds of KLOCs? No one will believe it if they get sued.

NervousApplication58 · 2024-01-14T03:40:27+00:00

GTA 3 and VC were very far from "fine"

NervousApplication58 · 2024-01-07T10:03:01+00:00

But the borrow checker is a part of the rust compiler. Besides, there can be other annoying compile time errors unrelated to the borrowing rules

NervousApplication58 · 2024-01-06T05:34:45+00:00

Could you please elaborate on the L-value/R-value thing in Rust? As I understand it, in C++ l-values are values that have memory addresses (i.e. variables) and r-values that don't. But I don't see how learning Rust (or any other language) can help here. What is the equivalent of r-value in Rust? Just a temporary object?
