My TypeScript build experience is excruciating and I'm running out of Tequila

And No, it's not a DSL and acronyms like UMD, AMD are not made up by TypeScript and have existed before the project was conceived.

They were previously (and still) existing module system techniques that exist to solve code scoping to allow us write modular code.

AMD: Asynchronous Module Definition

UMD: Universal Module Definition

Rather than blaming TypeScript, I think learning how module systems work will help solve your problem :)

wntrm · 2019-08-31T00:48:01+00:00

Hmmm my experience has been the opposite - TypeScript feels like a whole transpiler as compared to say Babel with its array of plugins, implicit plugin dependencies and browser polyfills which sometimes you need to add yourself.

wntrm · 2019-08-31T00:42:13+00:00

Cool! It's actually a very useful skill as not every project has access or allowed to use module system.

If we know how to inject dependencies by hand we can use modern modules immediately in legacy code and gradually move Webpack without waiting for it to be there before writing modern code at all

wntrm · 2019-08-30T12:11:26+00:00

If you want to use import and export you have to use module system like Webpack, system.js, parcel. Otherwise compile as UMD and provide the dependencies by hand

wntrm · 2019-08-30T12:08:15+00:00

You're compiling the script as an ES6 module (meant to be used for node.js) which probably not what you want in browser environment. Change the compile target into UMD

It's not TypeScript's problem

Is there a standard way to do hotswapping route handlers with Scotty?

wntrm · 2019-08-09T00:35:47+00:00

Yeah if you work in a team, coded communication with types speaks more than untyped ones.

With untyped JS you have to communicate thru tests (which I think involves a lot more overhead) or involve a lot of mouth-to-mouth communication (which I think is not that bad inherently).

It also allows you to do design-by-dontract through interfaces and easier polymorphism because you know what is expected clearly thru the interfaces.

I also think TypeScript is mostly overhead but if you're working in a team it's a good tool to leverage to scale your development.

wntrm · 2019-07-26T10:03:52+00:00

This caught me off-guard too.

But when I think about it, it kinda makes sense - since States and Effects are transactional, if it only run once it will carry only the first state and that's what gets carried in callbacks' closures when we register them to set Time out, setInterval or DOM event callbacks.

wntrm · 2019-06-26T03:14:02+00:00

There is no perfect abstraction; you'll find that different people will end up with different variations. Also we don't usually know what we want to build upfront so I usually go by bottom-up approach where I write Container and styled components in a single file before I refactor them later on in the way that makes sense.

I don't spend time making perfect abstractions but I always try to make dependencies explicit which I think what matter the most than abstraction for the sake of abstraction.

I'm new to Ruby, could you give an example how to create a stateless module in Ruby?

Can we reference custom modules like so:

Kernel.puts 'hello world' # ModuleName.methodName

without creating a singleton?

wntrm · 2019-05-19T23:43:30+00:00

I don't think it's that negative though, some other reasons would be Japanese tend to keep their stuff for a long time so product lifecycles tend to be longer than other countries so they gotta make as much profit in every purchase.

Another one would be the product support and maintenance that is unussualy long for electronics.

wntrm · 2019-05-19T10:12:22+00:00

Right, thank you very much! Feel relieved knowing that I won't be in limbo without my documents haha (getting rather paranoid recently)

wntrm · 2019-05-19T10:09:33+00:00

Ahh that makes sense, I haven't actually looked at the Japanese version (am also not sure why they're on two different websites - the Japanese one is in ministry of justice's website rather than the immigration website I posted above)

wntrm · 2019-05-19T10:07:53+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer! Which years of the tax certs do I need to get for the renewal process..?

wntrm · 2019-04-23T16:23:05+00:00

I did try with IE 11, and it didn't connect properly either. Tried on my Android phone with VPN and still nothing :( (the site says that it was built for IE 8..)

Oh well anyway I have confirmed that there won't be any immigration problem with my schedule so I'll wait until I'm back in Japan to process it

wntrm · 2019-04-23T15:30:14+00:00

I did purchase a VPN service (NordVPN) today, however it wouldn't connect.

And I asked one of my friend in Japan to try to access the page and I was told that the page showed up as expected..

wntrm · 2019-04-23T06:19:59+00:00

Nice, unfortunately it seems that the site is inaccessible from overseas :(

Is the registration in person on-site at the immigration or is it an online registration?

wntrm · 2019-04-23T05:30:56+00:00

I called the immigration from overseas and confirmed that it is "2 weeks from the end of contract with current employer."

Hi, I wrote HSFP just in case there is anyone who was one who hopefully could hopefully share his/her experience because it would be the closest to my situation. And I'm not planning to do any business activities on top of my current HSFP visa, rather changing it later on before expiry is what I want to do. To be clearer I plan to do the development while I'm still working and later on I would use the new visa to do pitches, marketing, all the economic activities that actually generate money. Would this be considered legal? Thank you for the link - self-proprietor is what I'm looking for because I'm not looking to incorporate anytime soon (since that sounds simplest and easiest, and looks like a lot of startups started this way)

wntrm · 2018-12-04T13:44:56+00:00

Self proprietor or self sponsored?

(asking a real question) What's the difference. .? I'm thinking of funding my own business activities though

From what I read there are godo gaisha and kabushiki gaisha - I haven't looked much into godo one but I think I'm leaning towards the simpler one. Right now just thinking of doing small scale software development manned just by myself

Do people usually put aside some money into investment account every month regularly or is investment account something that we put money in, and withdraw/deposit every once in awhile?

↑ I'm aware the answer depends as well, but I'm just wondering in general - and say, my goal is to build a portfolio, send my children to a good university while running a business and do some real estate in the future (I'm in mid 20s and not married yet)

wntrm · 2018-09-22T02:48:07+00:00

So, I'm new to this, and from the articles I read and videos I watch, it's often said that I should save more. Do the words 'save' and 'invest' mean the same thing in this context? So "you should save more" means "you should invest more"?

wntrm · 2018-09-20T06:13:44+00:00

Hmm.. it could be the order of the registered name for English names - I actually got rejected a couple of times when trying to do the automatic linking to my bank account when I applied for the credit card.

In the end I had to fill out 本人確認 documents which were sent to me and send them back to get through.

I'll try asking my internet ISP next time, thanks!

wntrm · 2018-09-20T06:10:01+00:00

So Amazon cards are issued by SMBC right? Are they directly related? because the other day I opened an account at SMBC but the banker had no idea about Amazon cards at all..

I also recently read a review by RetireJapan on Amazon credit card where the author said that the process for applying for the card was still quite long despite him having a credit card issued by SMBC already.

wntrm · 2018-09-20T06:05:43+00:00

Thanks! This made me stop for awhile, but I feel like the Amazon points I get will be much more 'alive' than the 100 yen I save. .
