Your team needs to have a coding standards meeting where you can describe the pros and cons of each approach. You guys shouldn't be wasting time during PR reviews on the same argument. When that happens to me, it just feels like such a waste of time.

It's still useful when it's wrong because it can give you the jist of what should be done. If it uses a library or function that doesn't exist, you'll still be informed as to what it was intending for the process at that point. I've often gone and just replaced the made-up code with custom code that does the same thing.

I expected "Started new project"

It's surprising how useful ChatGpt is in these situations. Honestly, it's a great general purpose search engine.

I would agree. Only if the performance is extremely similar but the readability (for some reason) is significantly better for the recursive solution would I choose that.

Rust, easily.

Cursorless. It's a spoken-language programming interface that allows the programmer (of basically any language) to use specific words to target existing text, move the underlying cursor/selection relative to that target, and then run a specific modification. Think of VIM but for voice. It runs in VSCode atm as a couple extensions along with an install of the audio tool Talon. https://www.cursorless.org/

My current favorite is mostly Rust-based with the tide crate, tide-jsx crate, vanilla JS, postgres crate, and Postgres in Docker. Super easy, super fast (to develop and run), but I haven't made any large web projects with this stack yet, just small stuff.

As someone who learned a lot from C++ and that now loves Rust, this annoys me.

"Normal transaction" after a fundamental change in how all games that use your product are financially responsible by novel, unmeasurable, and unrealistic metrics. No transaction prior to this kind of announcement is "normal" imo.

That would be cool, seeing RGB GOL cells moving outward. Maybe instead of 0 or 1 brightness you could just round it for the cell's purposes, maybe having a const float for flexibility: if it's greater than threshold then it's "on".

That's awesome! What are your thoughts on keeping the colors of your face as they naturally are and as the GoL algorithm acts on the pixels, you blend the colors together?

I just started using vim binding seriously a year ago and using vim generally to work with code. I'm so grateful for his (and everyone else's work) on this product. I can only hope that my software can make such an impact on the world.

Can you please elaborate on how, when using Rust, we can avoid needing to debug our JS code? I am very interested and hope that I didn't misunderstand you.

From my experience JS is primarily used to manipulate the DOM. I haven't looked into it, but if you're correct that WASM cannot manipulate the DOM then your question, to me, is tantamount to "Why aren't people using forks to eat soup?".

I would love a staticly-typed, compiled language to come along and replace JS. If anyone is aware of how I can write Rust in place of JS, please let me know. For now, I suffer/enjoy JS.

When I see a RIGHT JOIN I just shake my head and wonder "Why?". That said, I can't remember the last time I saw one.
