Remix 3 preview is ready Just run `npx remix@next new my-remix-app` to get started remix.run/blog/remix-3-b…

@MichaelArnaldi AFAIK tsc already detects this for project references. Not sure if they also do it for individual files. But I think even for project references this would be a quick win.

@lo1tuma usually that detection is expensive in itself, would be curious to see the specific case in which it leads to this being much faster. In large monorepos I've used topological ordering of compilation (and parallel compile on unlinked branches) many times and it does indeed improve

I see a recurring thing on X like "why nobody shipped an alternative TS type-checker that is fast and compliant", I'll try to answer. For context I've worked closely with the type-checker for a fork of TS and I've closely inspected all the efforts to date (even tried myself).

@MichaelArnaldi In large projects there are often many files which don't depend on each other. Those files could be parsed and type checked in parallel. I've used github.com/timocov/parall… in the past, which reduced the compile time from 5 minutes to round about 1 minute.

which leads us to the conclusion of this X's immense thread, there's two ways of rewriting TS, one is a fool's errand and the other is an herculean effort that can't be conquered. Good inspiration if you're ever up for inventing your own language.

@wolframkriesing Ab-so-fuckin-lutely! A developer who doesn‘t know that is just a programmer. You want to be called a developer? Then participate in developing a product. Or even better yet, a business.

I've released a new ESLint plugin: "proper-arrows". Includes several rules for improved readability of => arrow functions: no global arrows, required name inferences, forbidden concise-object-return, and required `this`. github.com/getify/eslint-…

@wagnerdennis Happy Birthday 🍻🎉

If you've skipped unit tests because you plan to refactor the code soon, you might not understand refactoring (or unit tests).

Never ask permission to do your job correctly.

@GabrielG439 @tpflug @dhall_lang @domenkozar I think the problem mentioned in this article isn't unique to npm I could imagine that it would be also possible to do this in nixpkgs. Anyway it is still completely unrelated to the configuration language that is used by npm or any other package manager.

Configuration languages shouldn't allow arbitrary side effects

@GabrielG439 @dhall_lang @domenkozar Hooks are defined in `sh` not JavaScript. I still don't think the underlying config language plays any significant role here. It is `npm install` which executes side effects. You should use a different package manager and/or execute npm install in a sandbox.

@lo1tuma @dhall_lang @domenkozar If you have an install hook that is specified in JavaScript, then your configuration language is not just JSON, it is JSON+JavaScript. The goal is to get rid of the JavaScript, not to get rid of the JSON

@dhall_lang @domenkozar Apart from that, I don't think json allows ANY kind of side effects

@dhall_lang @domenkozar Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense. The side effect in question doesn't seem to be related to underlying configuration language. It is executed as part of `npm install`. The same could be achieved when dhall would be the config language.

not a cellphone in sight. just people living in the moment. absolutely beautiful, wish we could go back

It's irresponsible to load teams to 100% capacity. Increased workload creates longer delays, lower quality, and higher costs.

Static types don't prevent you from writing bad code

Because of #GDPR, USA Today decided to run a separate version of their website for EU users, which has all the tracking scripts and ads removed. The site seemed very fast, so I did a performance audit. How fast the internet could be without all the junk! 🙄 5.2MB → 500KB
