this reads like a rant but I am not sure what it's ranting about. I've read it three times but I am still not sure whats going on. People having opinions? I read a lot of great advice (also about recruting) on HN and I don't

I also really, really second this. I am currently studying and took some interest in how other parents managed the situation (because of how my parents dealt with it). If your life revolves around your kids you have to keep in mind that thi

I still wouldn't call them design patterns. At least in haskell, they are not used like design patterns in OOP languages. They are more inherent properties of certain types (Maybe a "is" a monad etc.) and the instances are pr

I am not sure what you want to say with your comment? That you move to another language as soon as there are breaking changes because you are invested as a user and therefore dissapointed? While this is a valid reason, it's just the wa

I am 24 years old. Maybe we have a vastly different notion of recent, but merkels decision was 2015, which is nearly 4 years ago. Maybe it's really a matter of definition or "recent" and "fashion", but I am not sure

I had a seminar on set theory and the foundations of mathmatics. It was very fun! But, coming from a computer science background, i found the foundations via set-theory unintuitive and a bit ackward to work with. I know there are some type-

I think the Munich-Berlin route is the prime example where high-speed rail makes sense. It's long enough to really make a difference but not too long so that you would consider a plane. 95€ seems cheap for the DB, I have a bahncard 50
