Was a nightmare making extensions in the previous version. The documentation was very scattered/cluttered between different jupyterlab versions. Don’t think I’ll be coming back to it for 4.0.

Sounds like self projecting

As he should be, that wasn’t a well thought through prank.

I’m always surprised by how much others like typescript. Out of all the languages I have to use, typescript is the one that feels the most like pulling teeth. Maybe I just don’t know how bad it truly was to work with a really large JavaScript project without types and that’s why people love it, but without that experience it just feels like all the hassle of types without most of their benefits.

I do think it’s hard to break into initially — if you are approaching it from any other industry (such as what I did), it can take a few jobs to make the leap into a high paying career.

Edit: not trying to derail what you had said either, just a comment

Whenever I see articles like this one, I imagine this is the kind of PR that US colleges would use to deflect conversational topics they don’t want happening. Get people talking about “how do we get into college?” (with the assumption that college is where we want to be) instead of “why is the US college system broken?”

Not saying this is that, but just a thought and I’d be curious to see if this is a trend that continues.

Maybe it’s just me but I find the SQL much easier to read in all the examples given.

That’s not how my conversations typically go. If they responded like that I would exit the conversation and not enter into conversations with them at a later date.

The truth of this comment leaves me feeling somewhat emotionally violated.

I know you’re making fun of me, but I still had a chuckle myself.

There is probably a small subset of people who will, but a much larger subset who would not.

I don’t really agree with this, if you’ve never noticed someone respond in the overly negative way to things you say as annoying and conversation-stopping, there is a good chance you don’t realize how other people perceive this. Sure, if you have close friends they can probably roll with the punches, but I bet they’d appreciate your conversation more if you disagreed to things in a positive way.

Maybe to give a more obvious example:

“Do you like to play any shooters”

“Nah, I think shooters are stupid.”

This halt’s the conversation and reads as “I think the thing you like is stupid, and also now I want you to respond to that.”

If the goal was to continue the conversation, the same feeling could have been expressed conversationally as…

“I’m not really a fan of shooters tbh, I’m more into puzzle games.”

This does 2 things — it expresses your disinterest in the topic presented without insulting your conversational partners preference and it follows up with an offer of similar topic that might be of interest to the other so that they could respond like…

“Oh, I haven’t seen any good puzzle games lately! You have any recommendations?”

I don’t really think there is an exception to this rule. The reason for this is that responding negatively should imply you find the others opinion unsavory:

“This driver is so terrible, they must be Asian.”

“That’s racist.”

The reason that the negative disagreement is used here is not to continue the conversation; rather, it’s to let the other person know that you think their opinion is wrong/bad. (I’m not saying this is a good way to go about this conversation either, I just think it’s more obvious what effect the negative disagreement has on conversation.)

Yeah this seemed pretty obvious to me as well.

I feel like this was written in such a way that many won’t realize it’s satire.

Not sure if author is the same as OP (I’m leaning towards not?), but if they are…

I’m curious what caused you to go down the route of transpiling? Do you think that this methodology will be a core facet of the architecture, and will it be able to be changed when rust gives you the tools you seemingly want? Do you think that the transpiling will be annoying to debug and update as rust continues to mature?
