@realityforge_ has released a new version 0.13 of Akasha: Typed Browser API for #GWT and #J2CL.

For all #Java devs who want to implement Web browser apps and features without #JavaScript 😉

@dfinity Could someone tick the flag on your medium articles so that you get access event if you are not a paying medium customer? :)

On the heels of cuts to skilled migration, unworkable privacy laws and cuts to govt funded R&D (totalling $4B cut so far), I didn't think it could get worse for tech jobs in Australia. But it has.

@lofidewanto @ambisinister Configure it correctly and #IntelliJ will auto build as well. Unfortunately this can lead to hot laptops

@citysbackyard @dan_abramov We send everyone thru @ste_grider a courses @ https://t.co/Jxlg9L5mhz and find it an awesome way to get started with both

This looks absolutely bonkers...

@ignaciobaca @inline @noinline @pure I guess what I really would love is a way of forcing some code to run at link time. This would be excellent in GWT/J2CL world we you could do some code (like java based generation of CSS) during linking phase without impacting the runtime. One can dream ...

[Peter Donald @realityforge_]

@ignaciobaca @inline @noinline @pure It would also make it a lot easier when cross compiling to javascript to performa a whole bunch of optimizations. Some of these can be easily discovered by whole program analysis at runtime but much harder to enforce as code evolves.

[Matthew Carlson @mcarlson_sb]

Refactoring isn't a story or project that is done. It's more like dishes. Something you do continuously to make other things easier.

[Peter Donald @realityforge_]

@MrBenJ5 @dan_abramov There does seem to be a lot of the react priests policing the faithful to ensure the echo chamber resonates. Alternatives are unlikely to be considered at this point

[Peter Donald @realityforge_]

@ambisinister Interesting - I had the same error yesterday and worked around it by restructuring code to not call forEach - I wonder if it is the same cause

[Peter Donald @realityforge_]

@PhilippSpiess I love "This Week In React". It may not suite everyone but it sure is candy for my brain. Keep up the awesome work

42 year old me wishes 21 year old me hadn’t been talked into doing a PhD in AI and machine learning. I’d really like to be excited about all the AI/ML work going on at the moment, but all I’m seeing is the same problems/mistakes of 20 years ago, but with more CPU resources.

@kentcdodds @geddski GWT did this for js in 2007, and css a little later. Although you could have separate permutations for whatever you wanted ... as long as you were willing to pay for it in compilation time

The "National Energy Guarantee":
👉 reduces emissions by a pathetic 0.2% per year
👉 does nothing to improve reliability
👉 does nothing to reduce electricity bills
👉 does nothing to encourage investment

Fix the #NEG, or ditch the NEG. #auspol
