@RichardsAlan @MuseZack @asymmetricinfo Because he took a shortcut, that was insane, which made it shorter.
This is explained and shown in his movie.

@dunbar422 @j0fdw @OneWholeRhubarb @KMc_head @_Credible_Hulk Equity doesn't usually compound. You have 1 share that stays as 1 share. If you cash out then the share might be worth more cash when you sell than when you bought, but that only applies when you cash out (which apparently billionaires never do).

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@alexellisuk @coreh @awakecoding Sure, but if you are in a situation where some tool just doesn't work then a discussion about why that tool is helpful obviously can't be productive.
"Why do people wear bike helmets instead of space suits? You can't wear a bike helmet on the moon."

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@coreh @awakecoding @alexellisuk But why use a slower command with worse results if the faster command with better results is right there?

@Everlier @mitsuhiko An AsyncContext web integration update is on the tc39 agenda for the next meeting.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@ryanflorence @teemu_taskula Make your async functions accept an abort signal and make them deal with it. Better than checking after the fact.

@Kiriya_Aoi9 @MountainMan6543 @IamSvented @MoDOT The cones are to protect the drivers, the TMAs are to protect the workers.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@MountainMan6543 @IamSvented @MoDOT You could put cones 1000 feet back so that they hit cones instead of another vehicle.

@thdxr I have been on a "Frontend Tech Debt" team for the last 7 years doing this. It is the best.
It is definitely harder to stay motivated against the surge of slop, though.

@shubhamJReacts @icanvardar 40 seconds? Our repo takes over 15 minutes.

@ayaladev @imaks_dev @DanielGlejzner I don't think Angular requires experimental decorators anymore.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

Can someone tell the folks at GitHub that this is not a large diff, and I would like it to not be collapsed by default?
It is pretty important to review the code that is being merged, and this "collapsed by default" pattern is not helpful.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@styfle And it randomly doesn't work in Safari 1/100 times.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@efortis @MozDevNet I think you've introduced two bugs.
api.getState won't have "this" bound.
And "response.ok" is no longer being checked.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@QuantumMentat @ipwanciu Prefixed IDs can also be used to audit that you aren't leaking certain types of auth-bearing info into logs (like a share link that grants access to a resource), since that will have something like "inv_" show up somewhere.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@ponjimon @saltyAom But you can definitely close a network request and the server can definitely stop doing processing in response to that.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@ccccjjjjeeee Rebasing and squashing are fundamentally different operations that can't be used interchangeably. You can rebase AND squash, or you can rebase and not squash, or can squash and merge, or not squash and merge.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@CryZe107 @moeruri @saltyAom I don't know about Rust's implementation, but in every other language I know, a Future is an abstraction around a thread.

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@saltyAom There was a proposal to add cancelable promises to the language, but it had a lot of problems with no good answers: https://t.co/foCNXx152w

[David Neil @DavidOfMesa]

@saltyAom @ljharb The best you can do is to give the user the signal and say "if the signal is aborted then the returned Promise will be ignored, and any resources that are expected to be available may be disposed."
