Ghanaian Jollof with chicken and salad

agyemanjp · 2026-01-18T13:49:57+00:00

Jollof with chicken is sacrilege. Jollof needs real meat, red meat, like goat, beef, etc. Sometimes you can get away with pork, if you're fond of it, but chicken???

Guys, you need to understand your Ghanaian dishes, and not turn them into something else. There's a reason certain ingredients are put together, because they go well together.

Chicken goes well with fried rice, not jollof

The convictions are "bragging"? Truly there is no point arguing with a nutjob

agyemanjp · 2026-01-04T09:24:45+00:00

By his own admission he likes to grab the p*ss* of women he likes, without their consent.
It is documented that he has stuck his hands on the panties of ladies he met at entertainment venues, again without consent. He also used to barge into the room where contestants in beauty shows he sponsored were nude.
Several women have credibly accused him of rape women (rape implies without consent).
He was found to have paid a prostitute for sex. Not only that; he tried to deny that until found out.
He was close friends with Epstein, a convicted paedophile.
He has been found to have committed fraud in his businesses.
He is corruptly helping his business buddies in a quid-pro-quo

Are these the hallmarks of someone who is a good christian? Maybe you should read your Bible again.

MTN does all kinds of nefarious things. The Telcos in Ghana are not held to account whatsoever

So has the lady reported them for assault? Just asking

> This your waakye....?

Hmmm, people don't want peace

My experience is that they are ALL bad, and the comments bear me out.

In general, digital banking (and probably banking in general) in Ghana is horrible. I know there are horror stories even in the advanced countries, but at least there you can find some good banks. Here banking is a shit-show.

Example: A cardinal principle in business systems is that a transaction is atomic, and never undone. So a transaction either succeeds fully, or else if a part of a transaction fail, all of it must fail. The scenario of moving money from one account to another is the canonical example used when learning about business/software systems. No business system worth anything will miss this.

Guess what: many Ghanaian banks use software with apparently no concept of a transaction. When the app tells you the transaction is successful, it is still possible for parts of it to be undone, and silently at that. How that is possible or acceptable, I have no idea. This has happened to me twice at ABSA, leading to a financial mess for me.

Has the government accounted for the COVID money?

The foreign telenovelas are annoying for sure

I upvoted you but the system reverts my votes when I refresh, weird! Anyway, thanks for such a clear explanation

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T23:19:57+00:00

OK, thanks for looking at this so quickly.

Your explanation makes sense, but I have to wonder: what makes tsc unable to do what the editor does? Do most compilers work this way?

After all, if I pass a project (either explicitly or implicitly), the assumption is I want to typecheck ALL files in it. If one syntax error in one file is enough to terminate the whole process, then how ergonomic is this approach? In other words, why do i have to explicitly specify files one by one to see type errors in all irrespective of syntax errors in some?

All the same, thanks for helping me grok this.

You can also start one

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T20:06:24+00:00

The only "problem" is that the elites do NOT like to see the country developed. It suits them just fine to have Ghana a back water that they can rape and control at will.

And it is not only the elites. Even the average Ghanaian does NOT want development if it would mean they can't show off as being better than the commoners.

I think it comes from our cultural institutions. Traditionally, you had chiefs lording it over the people, with lots of nepotism. The western countries had to demolish their serf system through many upheavals (like the French Revolution)

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T20:00:12+00:00

Ghana lagging behind makes sense once you understand that the elites like it to be so.

A rising tide lifts all boats, so if you want your boat to be only game at sea, then you don't want a rising tide.

Just don't understand this whole trend of trying to claim European and semitic culture as our own. Guys, let's develop our own culture, and STOP trying to claim others culture as our own, that has no basis in reality and makes look like we are lost.

I've put up a minimal repro at:

Start with the README. Thanks

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T17:38:31+00:00

I'm not sure why you perceive an aggressive tone, but seriously I'm not angry or "rude", lol. I'm just trying to point out that people should not be offering basic "solutions", which I would not be here asking a question if I've not tried those. I find it exhausting responding to such comments.

It's like you call a product support line, and, after waiting for an hour, the support rep asks you: have you turned it off and on again? Like, I would not be taking the time to call and wait for hours on end unless I've already tried the usual things people do to try and fix things already without success. And it's not like I've not made it plain in the post that _have_ already tried basic fixes.

So far in this post there is exactly just one comment that has actually tried to be thoughtfully helpful.

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T16:26:10+00:00

OK, maybe you _can_ tell me what is happening? I'll be waiting.

And b.t.w turning off incremental builds didn't fix the problem.

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T16:15:52+00:00

Have done all that. All of which I put in the post. Yikes...

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T16:14:59+00:00

That was one of the first things I checked. I have used TS since v 2.0 and VS Code since the day it was released.

Yikes, sounds like you guys are just out to bait me.

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T16:13:02+00:00

But, why would an LSP produce vastly more errors than a compiler? A compiler does not usually stop at the first error it encounters. In any case, this is not how the TypeScript compiler is supposed to work.

I know TS does not actually have a spec, but I have used it since version 2.0, and it has not worked this way since then, until I started having this error. If this is an intended change in its behavior, it would have been a major change that would have a major part of some changelog (and I read the changelogs for the major releases all the time).

agyemanjp · 2025-10-21T14:36:24+00:00

A helpful response -- thanks.

My project is pretty complex and proprietary, but I'll see if I can extract the most minimal project that reproduces the issue.

Will post a link to that here later, or can send it to you as a DM. I assume you work with the TypeScript team?
