Bacurau foi um DOCUMENTÁRIO meus amigos.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

LLMs are the users now Tech companies have shifted focus from designing for people to prioritizing algorithms.

I've been trying to push the vscode API in that direction 😅

it might be a bit boring but better tools for refactoring, type systems and lsp help but I want to know where are all instances of type X constructed, when are they sent across threads, where is field Y read etc. Things that let you plan and execute complex changes on legacy code.

another day of gopls not letting me do a rename because the file has errors when those errors would be fixed by the rename 🙂

Anyone who knows the first thing about literary translation knows that direct translations are often impossible, and that creative, nuanced, sympathetic solutions must be found due to unfamiliar idioms, imagery, rhyming schemes, etc while balancing author motifs and style. AI simply can't do that.

Yeah, I remember we discussed this because someone (you?) had a PR to error on element access on never... But in the end we didn't figure out a way to distinguish between intencional and accidental nevers.

From what I recall, just one: we only error on property access to `never`, sadly. 🙁

Funnily enough this comes at a time when layoffs are ripping up existing systems, flushing irreplaceable organizational knowledge down the drain. The answer these managers give is "just use AI" because they are not competent to rebuild the broken system, or even see it.

I'm so sorry.

por que livro de fantasia tem tanta capa fubanga meudeus

once again I have received a book that I immediately wanted to drop because it has that nasty "soft touch" cover please stop making me touch the soft touch it is VILE (and doesn't shelve well!!!!!)

Do you think theres unrest among the vampire communities due to the degradation of the quality of human blood caused by microplastics?

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping? We would rather talk about literally everything else.

Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:

Everyone is psyched about the Severance S2 trailer. But it's been 27 years since the 1st season and I don't remember a goddamn thing that happened & don't really feel like rewatching a whole season of a show so I can watch the 2nd. Nothing against Severance; this is true of half the streaming shows.

Sometimes type soundness is overrated. It's nice to have it, but ultimately what I want is for the type checker to catch my mistakes.

Note this is a limitation of narrowing in general, not a limitation of return type narrowing specifically, it's just that return type narrowing depends on regular variable narrowing to succeed.

In the example with string and number, 'a' is not a discriminant property, because, among other things, a discriminant property has to have a union type with a unit/literal type. In the first case, 'undefined' is a unit type, so it works. In the second, string and number are not, so it fails.

The last two examples don't work because narrowing of the parameter fails: you can test this by trying to assign 'param' to a variable of a narrower type inside the if block.
The example with string and undefined succeeds in narrowing 'param' because there, 'a' is a discriminant property.

The first 3 bad examples indeed don't work on purpose, because the constraint of the type parameter being narrowed is not a union. I meant to mention that in my PR but it seems I forgot. I added that now, and I'll try to add an example later as well.

2014: the movie Idiocracy is basically a documentary

2024: the movie Idiocracy is a beautiful and aspirational look at a future brighter than our own. a tantalizing glimpse into a better world that has already slipped from our fingertips.

I hate how streaming has changed most of TV into a thing where you find something you like and it either gets canceled after two seasons or it takes so long for them to do new episodes that you forget it was on in the first place

Narrow generic conditional and indexed access return types when checking return statements by gabritto · Pull Request #56941 · microsoft/TypeScript Fixes #33912. Fixes #33014. Motivation Sometimes we want to write functions whose return type is picked between different options, depending on the type of a parameter. For instance: declare const ...

I'll remember the world before and after this PR: github.com/microsoft/Ty...
The new era of conditional types checking is coming in TypeScript 5.8!

yes, we're a long way from supporting that pattern and many others. but hopefully we can learn from the return type PR and get it to work someday.
