  • These are not necessarily unpopular in terms of subscribers, but nieche in terms of topics:

    • acollierastro: theoretical physicist with a unique style. What got me hooked are her videos debunking or responding to popular scientific misconceptions.
    • Ben Eater: teaches computer related subjects like electronics, networking, low level programming, architecture etc. in a fun way. He has a series where he builds a computer from scratch with cables and circuit boards.
    • Living Ironically in Europe: if 2balkans4you was a youtube channel, although he has some serious content as well
    • Masaman: mostly talks about genetics, he hasn’t made any new videos in a while.
    • Max Derrat: he seems to have deep knowledge about occult stuff and its history which he uses to analyse video games and other media.
    • Ostura Official TV: progressive metal band from Lebanon.





  • Yes and no. They serve roughly the same purpose.

    I actually hated Powershell until I was forced to work on some automation scripts with it and realized that it’s actually pretty cool.

    Bash is good for quickly doing something in the terminal but for longer script files I prefer PS now. It feels much more modern and has a less janky syntax.

    Funnily enough the reason I had to use it was to make my scripts cross platform between osx, linux and windows.





  • I agree, and even if it could I don’t think it should.

    But there also should be some kind of mechanism to deal with members whose interests no longer align with the rest of the EU.

    Not necessarily kicking them out or punishing them because they are out of line, but cutting funds seams reasonable. We get that money for specific reasons, and if they are not spent to meet those goals they should no longer be handed out.








  • Not necessarily, depending on your situation you can type the JS code yourself.

    If the team making the JS code were using jsdoc then the Typescript compiler can recognize the comments and use it for type checking.

    In some instances the compiler can infer types from JS code to do some basic validation.

    Even if the external JS code is recognized as any, your own code that’s using it still has types, so it’s better than nothing.



  • Typescript is a language, Node is a platform and framework. You can use Typescript in your Node project, they’re not mutually exclusive.

    The way I see it Typescript is more popular than ever, almost all (popular) libraries come with types and every job offer I get they use Typescript.

    And with good reason, our team recently took over a small Javascript app and there are tons of bugs that would never have existed if they were using Typescript. Things like they refactored something but missed to update a reference, or misspelled a variable name, failed to provide a required parameter to a funcrion, referenced a field that existed in another config object etc.
