Even as a kid during the 80s and 90s, the time travel episodes of any Trek show always got a sigh and a half eye roll from me.

That sure is a collection of English words.

You are a true artist

No one dares…

I…. am not actually sure if you’re joking or not.

I normally use the Scotty method - multiply by four.

Yeah, I’ve read about the development of the ability to run TS natively in Node. It sounds really promising!

I’m not familiar with ts-node though. I’ll have to check that out.

No worries on the ranting!

In this industry where we are all a little afraid to admit that we don’t know something, it’s nice to be reminded that everyone is always learning all the time and that there’s no way any of us can know everything.

I’m enjoying the learning process, despite its paper cuts, and love where I work. I enjoy TS itself but I do wish the process of setting up a new project/config stuff were more streamlined. Maybe in the future!

I’ve had pretty good experiences with it even situations with moderate data manipulation. There are some tricks you can use to engage different phases of the event loop to keep the data processing from blocking too much.

It’s still not as good as Java/C#/Go, of course, but it can help get some more performance out of Node.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll double check that when I get back to work next week.

I’ve written a lot of NodeJS apps in vanilla JS, and plenty of .NET backend stuff too. The transition to serious TS has been relatively recent. I like it alright, but dislike the added complexity that comes with all the various config files - vanilla JS has enough of that already!

Oh, they are included in the build. But I still get error messages that don’t actually point to the line in the TS source file sometimes.

Maybe I have something configured wrong - TS projects always include a more config files of different kinds than I see in other languages I work in - but it happens.

You are familiar with NodeJS, yes? 👍

Well sure. But the error messages don’t point to those, which was what had me chuckling about this meme.

This happens all the time with TypeScript. The transpiled JS that actually runs will naturally have different line numbers than the TS you wrote!

To be fair, the reported line number is usually close enough that I can find the issue without much trouble.

It’s not my favorite back end language, but it’s what everyone on my team knows…

Hey, that reminds me of my job!

Clearly the cure involves a routine, unorthodox use of the deflector dish…

Yes.

The purpose of technology is to improve our lives, help us overcome problems or disabilities, and make our world better.

Instead we have allowed a small group of sociopaths to turn that on its head. We now work to produce “content” for LLMs to slurp up for the purpose of creating more bullshit.

Present and accounted for!

You know, they really should have gone back to the conspiracy episode bugs!

But… I guess the Borg were the Big Bads of TNG, and PIC s3 was very TNG-focused, so I guess it makes sense.

I think it wouldn’t have induced as many eye-rolls if Voyager hadn’t severely watered the Borg down in the intervening years since TNG and First Contact.
