Making sense of TypeScript using set theory

from Vladimir Klepov as a Coder [alt+shift+b] in programming

23rd Jan 2023
I've been working with TypeScript for a long long time. I think I'm not too bad at it. However, to my despair, some low-level behaviors still confuse me: Why does 0 | 1 extends 0 ? true : false evaluate to false? I'm very ashamed, but I sometimes confuse "subtype" and...

More people should do what I’m doing right now. They should sit at their computers and bat the cursor around — write full sentences about themselves and the things they care about. I have a selfish reason for my demand: I have a lot of friends who are thoughtful, but keep their...

“Just” One Line

from Jim Nielsen’s Blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

3rd Jun 2024
From Jeremy Keith’s piece “Responsibility”: Dropping in one line of JavaScript seems like a victimless crime. It’s just one small script, right? But JavaScript can import more JavaScript. “It’s just one line of code” is a pitch you hear all the time. It might also be the biggest...

Specialization considered harmful

from Alice GG [alt+shift+b] in programming

3rd Apr 2023
It is sometimes recommended that software engineers should learn “depth-first”, and seek to specialize early in their careers. I think his advice is misguided. In my opinion, having a wide range of knowledge is in many cases more important than being extremely good at a very...

How much does the read/write buffer size matter for socket throughput?

from Evan Jones - Software Engineer | Computer Scientist [alt+shift+b] in programming

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
