Bloomberg has always been propaganda. Here- https://fair.org/home/washington-post-ran-16-negative-storie...

After this if anyone still thinks that MSM is honest about Trump, they're either deluded or dishonest.

I don't want to make this a game of one upmanship but I'd be surprised if there are GUI things you could do on a machinetosh that you cannot do on Windows.

I don't really have an advice but if you can explain your problem in an email hnewscontractor@outlook.com - I can work for free for 10 hours and give you the work. Any further work is paid (including a fee for the first 10 hours).

Thinking about it- that is the advice, establish the freelancer's credentials first.

I'm curious why somebody would start with a machinetosh? Windows is used way more than machinetosh on developer machines.

Is it because:

1) Authors don't know the demographics?

or

2) They think that Windows users wouldn't pay? (Not true I think)

or some other reason?

How much revenue is Aliyun? And what about the second in Chinese? (Tencent?)

I do hope Aliyun starts offering in the US soon- would benefit competition.

For refernce- Jquery unzipped is similar size- 87K and while it adds much more functionality, Scala collections easily trump jquery's in usability and power.

SJRD, Would you also add a bit more info about how this size increases? I haven't cared much but it seems from your comments that the slope should be much less once you reach 90kb.

As I noted in another comment, the output is close to unreadable. But you have source maps... (I don't know if Bucklescript has/needs them)

As someone who has dropped Scala on the backend (not doing FUD, just not happy with the JVM memory reqs)- what keeps me still using scala is Scala.js.

While some argue that there is more readable code with Bloomberg's OCaml.js, I like Scala.js because of Scala itself, which is

1) Very well designed 2) Lots of "functional" constructs in accompanying libraries 3) Good typechecking 4) Fun language to use.

and because Scala.js interop with JS is very seamless.

Do check out ScalablyTyped repo on Github, a Scala.js analogue of DefinitelyTyped.

Being typed- one of the best things I like about Scala is that I can do something like this (provided by a couple of frameworks- Laminar, Scalatags et al)

<pre> div( Seq( div( "div 1" ) ), div( "div 2" ), b( "bold stuff", i( "italic inside bold" ) ) ) </pre>

No more mismatching tags, wrongly spelled tags, unclosed tags. Typechecked HTML in some sense.

This would also be a good place to mention some alternatives where a mainstream language can also compile to JS so hopefully people can comment with their experience:

1) F#- Fable 2) OCaml- Bloomberg's BuckleScript 3) Go- Gopher 4) Haskell- GHCJS

Other non-mainstream but compile-to-JS languages

1) PureScript 2) ELM 3) Clojure script (child comment)

... and of course... TypeScript! :)

It should be noted that while Scala.js isn't as popular as some of it's alternatives in "popular" programmer culture, the author is very focussed on correctness and I don't know of anybody who has ever used Scala.js for a project but dropped it. (Happy to be corrected)

Google wouldn't have won that contract anyway. Contrary to the hn echo chamber Google is a distant 3rd in cloud and that too because of brand recognition. Their offerings are subpar

I leave my room open and then say- people were watching me not just doing my work but also taking shower and sleeping - that's disingenuous.

The calendar doesn't distinguish between medical work or a meeting with union Busters. Google is deliberately muddying waters. Slimy
