@ben_lubar do I need to go and vote again?
Nah, one vote per person.

This PR is adding some really powerful dynamic typing syntax to TypeScript, to express types that are based on other types.

Filed under: I can't help but notice that most of the errors sockbot seems to spit out are incorrect type messages, but that's none of my business. :kermit_tea:
Yip Kyon Bark!

dynamic typing syntax to TypeScript
Isn't the point of TypeScript that it doesn't do dynamic typing?

No, the point is that it doesn't let you violate the typing constraints you put into place. This PR lets you write much more dynamic constraints.
Like, for example, I could say that
foo( bar )
returns a value with all the same property keys asbar
, but withboolean
values. Or thatsubset( foo, 'bar' )
returns a value with abar
property that has the same type as thebar
property of thefoo
argument.TypeScript is just JavaScript + correctness constraints + great IDE support + ES2017 downlevel support.
Filed under: Writing straight JavaScript is like using SQL without keys or constraints.

I managed to write an end-to-end test of an Apache Camel route, including setting it up to read messages from an embedded database instead of mocking the producer. And what's more I got it done by the end of the sprint, which I hadn't expected to. No blood but much sweat and damn near tears expended but now I can't wipe the smile off my face. The senior dev I'm working with had pretty near written off the idea of testing the DB loading.

@error I done did that too! (I like how it takes care of cleaning up the old VC15 install).
However
vs_Professional --layout download
dies in a command prompt that immediately vanishes. Had to PrtScn to discover it requires a fully rooted path. :grumble:

Great OOBE! At least it wasn't fatal.

Mine launched fine. But have fun installing any extensions... Compared to VS2015, they totally fucked up the install process.

Yeah, I need my Resharper and Tabs Studio plugins. They're mandatory.
It's just not letting me sign in to my Microsoft account. The network guys recently blacklisted some older security protocols, and Visual Studio seems to be one of several apps that were using them. (Web deploy definitely was, and required and obscure registry hack to fix.)

My coworker stayed up all night because she couldn't put my book down! I feel like I'm walking on air

Looking at the orientation of the coin on the front-most cupcake:
walking appears to have failed.

@Yamikuronue not my usual brand of fantasy but they sound interesting, especially the second one. I shall bear them in mind.

@Yamikuronue Curiosity has been piqued, just need to find the time to read now.

I'm celebrating that I completed all the achievements for A Crack in the Ice!
STORYLINE SPOILERS
The journey started with playing hide and seek with a baby dragon (pictured), ended with a boy shooting an arrow into the severed tooth of an elder dragon, and also contained:
- Finding a poem in 7 pieces on 6 dead quaggans and 1 quaggan hiding on a roof:
In eldest Tyria, where ice covered the briny blue,
azure quaggans formed in the goo.And swam in the waters of a living pool.
The fishes ate fishes — and quaggans too.Then quaggans learned to eat the fishes. Coo!
Time passed and the azure quaggans grew,
making pods for living in, out of driftwood and drool.One day, a day that no quaggan foreknew,
the first quaggan crawled ashore to get a better view.The cold wind froze patches of the quaggan's skin. Boo!
And turned it a mottled black and frosty hue.You may have heard of Khoofallaloo,
the ancestor quaggan who first broke through the ice on the pool
and breathed air unbreathed hitherto.As you already know, cold-water quaggans are no longer azure blue.
Quaggans are proudly born in the colors of Khoofallaloo. - Dressing up as a blue tall person and then stealing their recipe for an important potion by grunting.
- Giving a baby quaggan ice cream made from winterberries and lemon
- Diving through a foot of ice wearing nothing but diving goggles.
- Making a doll (pictured, left) for a baby dragon and then giving it to the baby dragon and getting a miniature version of the baby dragon (pictured, behind the achievement box) that follows me around.
- Kicking a chicken enough times so that it kills me.
- Teaching a baby dragon how to catch simulated fish and then giving the fish to simulated orphans.
- Playing catch with a baby dragon ANY TIME YOU WANT.

@Yamikuronue I don't think I'd be able to eat one of those, they're adorable.

Video or it didn't happen.
Seriously though, awesome, and I understand how much of an accomplishment that is considering most people fear public speaking more than death.
And karaoke is far scarier than public speaking.

I am stupidly proud of this PR:
Background: One of those libraries everyone uses in the Node community pushed a bad release and broke everyone's builds. It turns out to be one of those tools that's maintained by one guy, with no CI or automated tests whatsoever. He fixed the issue and ran a basic sanity test (executing the happy path functionality), and asked that some of the people who turned up to complain help out.
My PR:
- Removes Babel because WTF you doing sir?
- Sets up CI to run in Node 4+ because honestly, it's not worth supporting pre-node4 these days
- Adds a pre-commit hook so that Browserify will compile a single distribution file for the browser (including all dependencies so we don't have to use a client-side dependency manager, and including shims and whatnot) before every commit; there had been complaints that it was getting out of date over time.
- Sets up browser-side tests to run using Karma on CI
- Added code coverage and Coveralls integration
- Used conditionals in the test file so that the same file can run on node and the browser
- Even uses the stupid makefile system he was using :)
-
@Yamikuronue see? It's perfectly cromulent to include tons of changes in a single PR, @ben_lubar !
