I’m going to go with they hadn’t come up with it yet. Modern M, at least at Epic, goes through a few levels of transpilation/compilation before ending up running in Java (I think that’s what Cache is now). New code isn’t really much worse than any other codebase IMO, but some of the old code there is crazy.

I’m also an ex-Epic guy! It’s been a while since I played with these (M without EpicStudio is painful), but I think starting my career in M definitely helped me as a developer. Every time I hear someone complain about JS at work I’m like “If you think that’s crazy...”

Mumps! There's a couple of docker images floating around out there for playing around in it. If anyone hasn't tried it, it's "fun". M's global data stores, weird scoping, and strange syntax make for some interesting problems :P

Two of them now. One to add Set-specific methods, and another to port the usual Array.prototype methods over to Set and Maps. Can't wait!

Even that's not technically true. You can represent things in JSON that can't be represented in ES object literals. There's a proposal in Stage 3 to fix that though: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-json-superset

There’s also a disown-opener CSP directive that’s hopefully going to be implemented at some point. Should help take care of this.

From what I’ve heard, there’s a bunch of mostly unused land south of the football stadium that has been slowly being bought up over the last year or so. Obvious speculation is that it’s either Amazon or someone betting that Amazon will want to buy a big chunk of land near downtown...

Google Analytics has a query parameter that can be used to extract arbitrary data. So make a request to that with an ID that you control I guess? GitHub mentions it in their CSP post: https://githubengineering.com/githubs-post-csp-journey/

Doesn’t Catalonia have a 13% unemployment rate? And a ~40% unemployment rate among young people? Seems like that fits those criteria pretty well...

Hmm. Why not aria-hidden=true?

This is an assignment from Georgia Tech’s OMSCS 6601 class, Intro to AI. This was a super fun assignment, with lots of low hanging optimizations like this :)

I really enjoyed Fall of Hyperion. It's very different from Hyperion, but I think the plot is still very satisfying. Endymion and Rise of Endymion are okay and interesting in their own way, but a definite step down IMO.

“Fix lint” is my favorite one.

I think the issue is that you do want non-strict equality 90% of the time, but correctly identifying the 10% where you need strict equality is difficult and impossible to automate. So you end up weighing cognitive overhead and subtle type bugs vs an extra equals sign, which seems like an easy choice to me.

And I think the GP was talking about an existence check with the null comparison, like “did this function receive the argument false or no argument at all?”

I love the async book in that series. Really opened my eyes about Promises.

Accidental Tech Podcast - Apple and random tech discussion. Super fun listen. One of the hosts is also the author of Overcast, which is my favorite podcast app.

The Talk Show - Similar to ATP, but slightly more serious and with rotating guests

Pardon My Take - a humorous sports podcast. It’s kind of juvenile, but it’s growing on me.

Best of Mike and Mike - a semi-serious sports podcast. This one’s about to end, unfortunately.

Stuff You Should Know - funny but informative info about random topics you never realized you wanted to know about

Hardcore History - super long and rarely released episodes, but he gives an amazing in depth look at various historical battles. WWI, the Persian Wars, the Cold War 1945-1965, and the Anabaptist uprising are free now, and are all awesome.

I think what blew my mind most was `git bisect run`. Write a test case, go get coffee, have git spit out the offending commit automatically. So cool.

Not that I've ever heard. This is just a weird headline.

Is that unexpected? Seems like it makes sense that doctors who specialize in pain management would make up a huge share of painkiller prescriptions. And oncologists make up a huge share of chemo prescriptions, etc. etc.

This is really excellent. Making sure people get put onto the right PRs is a hassle, and anything that makes code review easier is a huge plus in my book.

That's a good question actually. I was just thinking of nearby grocery stores off the top of my head.

Seems like there's other brands that you could acquire if that was the goal (Safeway, Ingles, Publix, Kroger, etc), but maybe those are too big? Anyways, just seems like a waste to trash the Whole Foods brand when I imagine that's a pretty solid chunk of their value.

Why would you buy Whole Foods to compete with Walmart? Seems like totally different branding and target markets...

Besides spoiler tags, check out any of the sports subs: r/cfb, r/NFL, r/NBA have team flair, schedules, and scoreboards. Without those and the inline images, those communities would lose a lot of their fun.

Not sure how that's applicable here? Seems like an ex-admin deleting things is pretty clearly malicious...

The Jira analogy falls a little bit flat, because the information entered into an EMR is often the actual product, not just documentation. Orders entered into the EMR directly affect the outcome of the patient, and errors can be fatal. Having a free-text hand-written system for something like that just seems pretty crazy. It'd be like going to a dev shop where no one used linters or wrote tests and the check for deploying to prod with no rollback option was one (admittedly extremely skilled) guy in the basement signing off after a quick code review.

This is a pretty shocking opinion to see expressed. Like, you may as well have said "A bunch of developers at <place> decided to go back to C89 because writing code in Rust was too slow, plus did you see the bugs in its borrow checker?" . Do you really believe that paper is a safer alternative?

That actually is pretty fascinating. Even with the fix from above, Angular has a pretty decent lead: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F012l1vxv,v...

+1 for SlingTV with the sports addons for CFB. I subscribe in August and cancel in February every year. It even gets you an ESPN login so you don't have to use Sling's app.

On one hand, it's hard to be mad about people wanting their government to be more direct and representative of their desires. On the other, if this happens you might as well split fully out into 50 nations, because the federal government can't wield any real power if a state can choose to ignore the will of the others and up and leave. That would be a shame I think.
