Not my idea. I literally cited the source.

Rename every file from *.js to *.ts

Set the compiler options

{
  "checkJs": false,
  "allowJs": true,
  "noEmitOnError": false, // so the compiler compiles code it can’t prove right yet. Reset this after you’re done migrating
}

Install type packages for dependencies that don’t bring type information out of the box, for instance
```
npm i -D @types/d3
```
Add // @ts-nocheck to the beginning of every file.
Go through your project file by file, remove the comment from (4) and add types until the errors are gone. And probably fix some errors along the way.

Please take the day off !

How could this be misunderstood?

What is this magical job where two typos land you a day off, no questions asked?

My company dabbles in AI. A hardly abridged conversation with a bot I’ve read recently:

Hallo, Ich bin ein Bot. Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen?
(Hi, I’m a bot. How can I help you?)

Speak English, please.

Gerne antworte ich in Englisch. Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen?
(I’m happy to speak English. How may I help you?)

Caller disconnected

Yep, AI definitely is the future.

Depending on the exact level of stupidity clinging to the judge on that day, some jurisdictions might consider this “hacking.”

One case from the states that was luckily dismissed: https://uk.pcmag.com/security/136282/missouri-gov-goes-after-reporter-who-found-shockingly-bad-flaw-in-state-website https://www.vice.com/en/article/this-is-the-hacking-investigation-into-journalist-who-clicked-view-source-on-government-website/

If you’re iterating over a whole array and need the index, like in ll.15f., you can instead write

particles.forEach((particle, i) => {
  // loop body
})

There may be a performance hit (I haven’t tested it) because you’re invoking a function on each iteration. And it’s mostly a stylistic choice.

Is “syntax” a bad word now? Don’t dumb things down for students, elevate the students!

Well, who’d ever think of testing that closing the app works. Some things you have to take for granted or you’ll never test anything meaningful.

This is a simple copy/paste error. Cut the hate.

I have no clue how you think these two are related in any way, except for the word “AI” occurring in both.

Luckily I learned programming when I was already using the NEO layout. I couldn’t imagine typing parentheses and the like in German…

The first step in any software project is not doing it. Have you checked if the product you want to build isn’t already out there?

Why I ditched Manjaro and came back to Mint:

I find the package manager clunky. Why is the flag to install something -Ss?
At some point I couldn’t upgrade packages anymore because they somehow got in conflict. I never bothered to find out what caused that and what the fix would’ve been. I just ran back to mommy Mint’s welcoming arms.
