I think there is major inherent value in a decentralized currency and I think the technology is neat. There will be more practical value in Bitcoin after the crash when the speculative value has stopped being a factor.

Pretty much all of the money in Bitcoin was dumb from the get-go. These weren't economists figuring out that something was under-valued or the system could be gamed. It was people gambling back then and that's what's continui

I thought the examples sounded more interesting than your usual ones and honestly I would prefer those to whatever user login example you see usually. There are probably several that I don't agree with politically, but who cares? It&#x

GoodReads has a website and it's perfectly usable for doing everything they provide as a service. Also, this is not a listening app, by the way, according to the author, so there goes that point.

His point is obviously that they should hire more to make Haskell seem popular, even though one of the reasons they don't need more than 30 is because it's Haskell and not JavaScript.

You don't judge a move in poker by its outcome, but rather if it made sense given what information was available. You may not be this type of person normally, but I find that most people I come across have an incredibly hard time evalu

You are agreeing with the comment you're replying to. He/she was saying that the defaults being what they are do not make the statement that you need physical access any less inaccurate .

I can no longer edit my original comment, so I'll take the opportunity to pull back a little bit and say I don't wanna make it seem like I think TS's type system is useless, but rather it's nothing special. That said, I

On a barely related note: When did Typescript's type system become some shining example of type systems? It's super basic and you can do almost nothing with it. It's not as basic as Go's type system, but it's really

I don't think this really does a great job of selling Pure as a solution to a problem. It's sort of saying "Well, you can kind of use Pure for anything, even GUIs!". I'm sure there's something Pure was designed

Rarely do companies do things from the goodness of their hearts, simply because it would be nice for other people. I don't see why anyone would do it for them. If they want a feature they should get it done themselves.

The argument about anglicized names usually works because there are lots of shared names by way of shared religion. Иван can be anglicized as John because it's an important name in the foundation of both western and eastern european re

They're not pronounced at all the same, no. Naming your child Soren after Sören makes about as much sense as naming a child Ålän after Alan. You do realize that the "o" and "ö" are different letters representing dif

Sören/Søren or Soren? They're not the same.

What do you mean by `mix phx.new` taking charge? $ mix new elixir_umbrella --umbrella $ cd elixir_umbrella/apps $ mix phx.new elixir_umbrella_web This should work just fine and it means that this phoenix application is

I find the bit about Chrome interesting, considering I've never had a Chrome installation even without any kind of add-on that was as fast as FF Quantum. Even without any features at all Chrome is much slower and it doesn't even h

Yeah, I'm not sure what the fruit of this is going to be. It's a nice reminder that most business/industry is outside of morals. It's not that all of it is immoral, but rather that it exists without any moral requirement

The point is made in the article that a lot of this money was not taken in order to stay alive at all. The concrete example is Slack taking $250 million that they haven't even earmarked for anything in particular, just "operationa

I use IntelliJ with IdeaVim at work and I can vouch for it, but the truth is that even the better plugins for the more mainstream IDEs suffer from strange and annoying issues. For example: ysiw)j. will not actually surround a word

While I would never sell it as "turning vim into an IDE", I use most of these plugins. ctrl-P is great, but I would probably switch to fzf if I was bothering to update my vimrc and plugins lately. Fundamentally, I think people try

All projects that have been created using TDD have tests, but not all projects that have tests have been created using TDD. You're saying that having tests is good and I would assume most people agree... But that doesn't mean that

I think this is the case with most JVM languages, to be honest. As someone who has done some Java but would never do it willingly as part of a hobby project or the like I think Kotlin and pretty much every other JVM language is a huge step

For the kinds of systems that are built with Erlang, which is a niche that Pony seems to want to occupy, I would argue it's inherently better to have preemptive scheduling. A cooperative scheduler will always be an open invitation for
