I aim to mostly use this account to announce the blog posts found on my website:

Mostly it appears to just correlate with money, e.g. a school in east Portland/Gresham with a 7% pass rate also has a 60%"kid living in poverty" rate. There are some surprising random high-scoring schools scattered about, mostly magnets or other nontraditional settings.

Nice work! I did some similar work at Google 5 years ago and wrote a post about it:

neugierig.org/software/blo...

Most of it is the same things you covered (cool to see isolatedDeclarations exists now!) but maybe the discussion of globals will be interesting to you.

I expect it probably wouldn't ever help these situations, but I tried to write the canonical "why adding a flag is a bad solution" answer: neugierig.org/software/blo...

I have tried a few, Kiki's Delivery Service worked the best.

For a slightly older kid (like age 4) I think all of them have themes that can be hard. Even in Totoro, the gentlest one, there is a decent amount of plot around the mom being sick.

I could have recognized it contextually, but the post doesn't give any context that would have suggested it. In a post about authorization I was expecting acronyms from the auth soup, e.g. SAML/IdP/JWT and so on.

Blog post defines DCR on first use, but uses "MCP" without ever defining it.

I think the solution is to provide an opt-out for new strictness checks, e.g. something like --allowImplicitAny. This allows the new TS release upgrade instructions to say "keep --strict, but also temporarily --allowWhatever to keep your build working, then remove that once you get a chance".

I wonder what the impact of this is across TS versions. For example, imagine a new project with --strict on that passes all checks. Next, you want to introduce some new check in the next TS version. If the project tries to upgrade, their build now breaks.

FYI the author of this code assured me he had a better variant of CDC: github.com/buildbarn/go...

FWIW I had this come up too and I called my insurance to ask if it would be a problem. I imagine it's a FAQ, they answered it easily. (For mine it was "once per calendar year", not 365 days.)

lobste.rs requires posts to be tagged, and there's a setting to filter out posts by tag.

I liked this paper's tour through the history of various definitions of what equal can mean:

dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

(if you only skim, look for the gray boxes -- the last one on page 12 is curiously relevant to how TS treats class type compatibility)
