> England is already the second most crowded major country in the EU

This particular definition of country is an abuse of the British term (let alone "major"). You cannot compare England to Italy; you could compare it to Northern Italy, maybe. If you want to compare "major" country to "major" country, then use UK numbers. Figures would likely look different: every "major" nation out there will have more populous and less populous areas. You don't get to discount Scotland but include Southern Italy just because it suits your viewpoint better.

TBH, here in Northern England there is still plenty of brownfield to revamp and house prices are fairly sane. The problem is not Europe or England, it's bloody London, so go fix your own bloody problem.
I think they are actually saying "Killing one lion is completely insignificant compared to the real issues Zimbabwe faces (thanks to the disastrous policies of the Mugabe government). So much publicity and so many tears in the US, yet virtually no public concern and tears for the complete meltdown of the country over the last 15 years."
You could say though that USAID is not Americans, per se, but the American government caring about African people, and anyway it could also be raised that in relative terms not that much goes to foreign aid, and also that not all of it is employed solely for humanitarian reasons.

Btw, I appreciated your Wiki link above.

They don't, but I'd argue if they want to have any hope of competing with iOS in the high end market they absolutely need to. So many people have super negative impressions of Android that are based solely on e.g. TouchWiz.

1 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 27; 2 + 7 = 9

Also,

1 + 42857 = 42858; 4 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 8 = 27; 2 + 7 = 9

1 + 42857 = 42858; 42 + 858 = 900; 9 + 0 + 0 = 9

This is kinda creepy. I wasn't really expecting the "also" additions to work.

Because there are 7 billion of us on the planet and only 30k lions left. We have had it really good (including Zimbabwe in terms of population growth) for 150 years, yet we have decimated our kindred animals using excuses like "conservation" or "danger". This article takes an instinct that was relevant 300 years ago and shamelessly punts it into our modern age, circumstances having changed enormously, in order ultimately to push another agenda.
the power of haxe to me, comes from the compile time macros (which is also written in haxe, ala lisp, just less dynamic). You basically get access to the AST during compilation, and directly write out new code. Great for adding in overhead-free abstractions, or even, dsl like languages.
Their keyboards are notorious for being just plain defective. The issue with the Ultrapro was that it would randomly drop keystrokes if you tried typing at a decent rate. Some people might not have had this issue, but it was nearing epidemic proportions when this laptop was released. They released an "improved" keyboard which was really just the same one with a metal strip on the back of it which made it feel like less of a piece of shit, but didn't really solve the problem.

I wanted to support system76, but their laptops are re-branded clevos, and clevos almost universally have shitty build quality.
Crowd-sourced Security Budget tool
Of course, the ES6 block scoped let declaration is also supported by TypeScript. But it is kind of a pity that TypeScript has to maintain the old scoping strategy of var and goes to support let instead of “fixing” var declaration directly like Haxe…

This quote fits the spirit of the article well, in missing the most important point about TypeScript: the driving principle of TypeScript is, and always has been, to resemble JavaScript as closely as possible. The point is to be a superset of JavaScript. How would you do that if you start changing the semantics of existing constructs?

It's just one quote, but the rest of the article carries the same smell. Telling omission: the comparison between the compiled versions of the presented code snippets. TypeScript code emission tries to resemble the original JS. How does Haxe hold up?

I do not doubt for a second that Haxe, as a language, is better than TypeScript. I don't know it, but it's not a hard task. Almost any language is better than TypeScript. The only one that isn't, in fact, is JavaScript.

Being a good language was never the point of TypeScript. Just being better than JS, while resembling it so much that nobody in their right mind could make a compelling argument against it, but in favor of JS.

EDIT: larsiusprime makes a good point, which I would have noticed had I actually read the conclusion instead of stopping half-way through: the author already addresses this.
I'm surprised seeing Kik in there. I remember seeing it years ago (like, really long ago), and thought it never took off.

You just need to look at wildlife re-introduction to see this is the case. Return wolves to an area (yellowstone) and Elk populations that were ruining new forest growth starts to come under control. The new growth encourages beavers to return to an ara, beavers improve wayerways, which improves fish stocks. Wolf killed elk also improve things for eagles, bears, coyotes and other scavengers.
True, you are right. But I disagree on "we were never given the opportunity to care about", horrible things have happened in Africa in the last few months that haven't received the same kind of interest from the public. That of course doesn't mean not to be upset about the lion, that I agree would be a fallacy.
It is amazing how everyone can jump on this wave of political bandwagon, including the government in Zimbabwe, without really acknowledging the irony that much more terrible things have happened in Zimbabwe in the past 20 years without nearly the same outcry. Massive hyperinflation, people starving to death, and we suddenly have tears in the West over "Cecile the lion". The corrupt government of Zimbabwe is quick to wipe away our tears and assure us that this will never happen again, all the while continuing to neglect their human citizens. I can agree that big game hunting is stupid and wasteful, but killing a lion simply isn't that big of a deal, not in the grand scheme of things, and not when we rely every day on the deaths of millions of cattle to provide us food. That's just cognitive dissonance. If anything, the doctor was paying a high price for a stupid hobby, which ultimately benefits the local people of Zimbabwe. How many people in Zimbabwe can be fed for $25,000, the price of hunting a male lion?

I don't think people care more about animals than about people. It was a cruel way to kill an animal, that's what's riling people up. If you baited a person and shot them with a bow and arrow, and then hired hunters to track them down and kill them, people would be much more outraged.

You can't easily compare "unprovoked cruelty against animals" with "everyday life below the poverty line".

> How has Haxe as a language escaped popular notice for so long?

Simple really - other languages, framework, and SDKs have filled the programming needs of people. I've found most source-to-source compilers to either be completely broken, too complicated to use, or not enough features (I've seen a number of Python to C compilers started and never even close to finished). I discovered Haxe many years ago when I had the idea for my own source-to-source compiler (and created my own lexer, parser, compiler, and virtual machine in C++).

I personally haven't used Haxe yet but I found it's documentation to be pretty good and it seems to have good reviews.

More likely you'll end up with something like the Hololens. It won't replace your monitor, rather augment it. AR is the stop-gap between what we have now and true VR. Truly immersive VR is going to require some sort of neural control interface, and we're at least 20 years off from that being a productized mass-market device.

VR headsets are hella disorienting. I can't imagine any manufacturer recommending more than an hour of continuous usage. I just don't see any benefit to trying to work on a VR headset: I continuously have to refer to items in the physical world (my cell phone, written notes, etc) while working. Being immersed in VR would simply be too disorienting.

Now, I don't doubt that it'll happen eventually. But the time horizon is closer to 15-20 years IMO; VR is still very much in its infancy. Things like this are an art and a science; we're doing pretty well with the science part but we need to figure out the art, and that takes iteration and above all, time.
MediaWiki complete test wiki via cloning
The article fully acknowledges this:

"However, at the core, TypeScript and Haxe have different design philosophies. TypeScript is a superset of JS. It means it cannot modify the existing JS syntax and semantics. It adds a static type system and some new constructs (e.g. “proper” class/interface). It is not interested in optimizing the program in any way. Haxe looks like JS, but is more similar to other popular compiled languages like Java/C# regarding to semantics, the use of types, code organization, and optimizations. It also brings in a lot of advanced functional programming concepts.

Which is the better compile-to-JS language? It depends. Existing JS developers will favor TypeScript as they are more similar in many ways. They can utilize their existing skills immediately."

EDIT:

As for how Haxe holds up on generated JS code, you can see for yourself online right here:

I'm an immigrant from france. I bought 2 houses in the UK.

It's not /just/ a question of where to live, it's also a question of someday getting /some/ sort of pension -- it's very likely that pension rates returns are never going to be maintainable for 30 years since the gov can plunder it, and the 'age of retirement' will continue to climb (measured using the age of death of people who retired at 60 or earlier and who are dying now, and thus had a MUCH longer expectancy than us lot who'll have to work til 75 or so..)

So, houses are just investments. When I'll retire, I'll dump them, get the capital and use /that/ to live.

And yes, I know I'm not the 'typical' immigrant, but then again, I am one.

Hmmm I think it's unfair to put the cause purely on immigration. A few other causal factors:

- Anglo Saxon obsession with property. There is a culture of being obsessed with home ownership in Anglo-Saxon countries. Particularly the UK. This pushes people to pay over the top for property and thus increases prices even further.

- Property prices seem to be increasing particularly sharply around London & Brighton. This is because they are wealth creation centres. Well paid jobs, tourism, industry, culture all cause property prices to go up as people want to live there.

- Weather. This one isn't written about so much. But the hypothesis is that people tend to want to live in the South because of better weather. The weather in Kent is far better than is say Yorkshire in terms of net sunlight and average temperatures.

I would be willing to bet that, in the past, property prices would have still sharply increased in certain areas even without high immigration.

Am I missing something here? Let's say you want to include Chart.js, and imagine there are no type definitions:

declare var Chart: any;

Or do you mean something different?
You can use ES6 import/exports in typescript (see https://github.com/Keats/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/a... for an example) but some of the import don't work exactly like babel would, ie you sometimes have to use import * as myName from "foo" rather than import myName from "foo"

I also wish more things in JS were expressions - having var statements as expressions in particular would help a lot with arrow functions.

Algebraic data types (and pattern matching) are definitely features that should be present in every language - the difference of modeling things without and with them is like night and day.

TypeScript's type system is indeed more forgiving, but mostly because the language is designed for migrating existing JS codebases to it. You can then tighten the grip significantly by adding `--noImplicitAny`. The most unfortunate TS unsoundness issue at the moment is that null/undefined are acceptable values for all types - I really wish they'd fix that...

What are the options for JS FFI in Haxe? Is there something less awkward to use (perhaps a more user friendly FFI library) than http://old.haxe.org/doc/advanced/magic#javascript-magic ?

Side note: automatic semicolon insertion was not a huge mistake, and Douglas Crockford saying it was doesn't make it so. If you follow 2 simple rules, you wont need any semicolons:

1) Dont put a new line between `return`/`throw`, and the returned/thrown expression (newlines inside the expression are fine)

2) Prepend `;` to a line starting with `(`

Crockford had a minifier bug related to #2 and solved someone else's problem with #1 then declared a rule to always use semicolons (which doesn't even help with #1)
A few of the flux implementations have the concept of "rehydrating" state (serializing and deserializing the stores), which does allow the client side to reuse the data and keeps the component from refetching the data.

A useful pattern I discovered was fetching just what is necessary to render the page on the server. Then pass the state to the window object through a script tag and recover the data on the client side and rehydrate. Any additional data (or potentially slow returning), I fetch client side via `componentDidMount` [0] which isn't called on the server. This way, I can get a loading screen up as quickly as possible with a few elements custom to the user.

I should note that even thought the flux library I was using, flummox [1], works great for this, I can't recommend it as in the month and a half I was working on my project they've decided to quit and recommend a different library, so I'm not sure what to recommend now (the frustration I feel over this quick turnaround is an entirely separate topic, though).
