regexpu is a nice little tool to transpile ES6 unicode regular expressions to ES5 👍

Public service announcement: Math.max(...[]) returns -Infinity - took me about an hour of debugging to locate this problem.

Currently I am working on a TypeScript project. During this project I wanted to give the TypeScript compiler the hint that I expect a class object as a parameter. I couldn't find something in the documentation. But since you can use expressions as type declaration I tried to use typeof:

class Bar {}
function foo(val: typeof Bar) {}
foo(Bar)

Surprisingly this works. Now after I knew what I had to look for I could find a hint in the documentation as well:

Next, we then use the class directly. Here we create a new variable called greeterMaker. This variable will hold the class itself, or said another way its constructor function. Here we use typeof Greeter, that is “give me the type of the Greeter class itself” rather than the instance type.

Maybe this saves you a few headaches.

Over the weekend my good friend Jeena was visiting me. We had a lot of fun and tons of interesting talks. It was a pleasure, Jeena!

From What I have learned working 1 year full-time using Elixir:

I do not get why don’t we all just write Erlang programs. You can write them, walk away for 20 years and they will be still up and running. Pure joy.

I can relate 😁

Mein Freund Marc veranstaltet am 19.09.2018 eine Schulung Meine Barrierefreie Website in Köln. Wenn ihr in der Gegend seit: das ist etwas, das sich durchaus lohnt. Der Marc weiß, wovon er spricht.

EmacsCast: A journey into Emacs is a podcast of a programmer diving into Emacs. While I didn't listen to it, yet, I thought I should share it because there is not very much Emacs content out there. In the first episode he introduces hilself and explains why he, as a SublimeText user, dives into Emacs.

Enjoy!

After a pause of 14 days it is surprisingly easy to get back into running. 17,8km in 01:21:33, 04:35 per km 🏃

The day starts bad with bad milk in my coffee. Buärghs.
