For me it comes across as typically nihlistic, which is all too common these days, where by it's making statements that we're nothing more than survival of the fitest. For me this is just patently false, humanity has tackled with

I started doing resistance training (amateur powerlifting) about 7 years ago and have found a number of things that keeps it going for me. * Routine is what makes it stick, if my goal is to do three days a week and miss the first day I ofte

Utter nonsense to imply that Haskell would suddenly fix bad security. Haskell code can have security issues too hidden inside some too clever for it's on good language extension ridden Haskell code. Too be honest I think there is like

These are just wild unsubstantiated claims. In my experience the worst errors are those of broken referential integrity in distributed systems, misinterpreted product specifications and plain old "this doesn't do what i thought it

Empirically the evidence suggests all those languages without Haskells type system are doing fine considering that the vast majority of the software is not written in Haskell in its actually running. Frankly hiring is just a way harder prob

Only really true for the common (bad?) OOP languages, CLOS system in Common Lisp decouples the two and adds multiple dispatch for added spice.

And a broken form at that. The vast majority of dental problems are avoidable either via diet or dental care.

And so your point is their happiness doesn't matter? I can guarantee you there are many unhappy men that does see this so called advantage.

Don't worry, no one is ever that interested in men being happy anyway.

And likely a net negative for many peoples mental wellbeing. I'd imagine HN is a pretty significant selection bias for individuals who are not so interested in social interactions with people in person but that's not necessarily t

As someone who works for one of the companies in Sydney that happened to use Clojure (one of the reasons I joined them), I know find myself in a strange situation where as a hiring manager and a leader of team of engineers that have little

Because the narrative comes first, facts always are second. It's been said quite blatantly that it doesn't matter that the statistics might not back up the claim because "there is obviously a problem", this has been goin

What are you actually talking about, your just touting rhetorical nonsense with no actual content or thought beyond you on hypocritical echo. "Woe is me the government is corrupt, won't the government save me from their corruption

I feel we build in a reaction expection based off the earlier unknowns wrt to covid-19 but as more data became available we never revised those perceptions and instead doubled down on the narrative that this was some world destroying super

It is largely benign when left alone. The problem is working with and disposing of it, it's a hazardous material and so can be expensive to deal with in many developed countries.

The use of the word insane has a little too much negativity in my opinion but otherwise it shouldn't be surprising the Pareto principle is at play here, it's the case on nearly every other example of output to one degree or anothe

For some cases, and the picture often changes. We were using pypy because it was better for our use case at one point but then later on we retested cpython and found the picture had changed. We believe this was due to significant improvemen

As i've said many times, expecting the government to be anything other than a hinderance is such emperically false assumption. Here's where those beautiful taxes everyone hopes will help end up hurting industries that are trying t

The analogy with elevators largely doesn't work. In the main the only individuals at risk from an elevator accident are those that chose to enter the elevator, this is vastly different for automotive accidents where the individuals aff

Also the reason the poorer get taxed so disproportionately is because much of the tax system is regressive with elements like sales tax and stamp duty. The government certainly has the power to fix this, but not by stealing more but fixing

And it'll make no difference, all these wealthy don't have salary to tax or often time even cash, it's quite often wrapped up in the companies they've started or made super successful. This is the point that seems so bla
