What is the advantage of this over Firefox Focus? And is the Privacy Essentials extension available for Firefox for Android? Trying to understand why I should use the DDG app over either of those two, since the DDG app seems like it is ju

Been using F# in a web-backend capacity for about two years now. Language is great, hits a very sweet spot when it comes to productivity, tooling (F# has some of the best dev tools out there), etc. Interop with the rest of .NET is pretty

For learning the language, there is no better guide than F# for fun and profit. Start here[1], then maybe check out this series[2] and this one[3]. If you want to learn about monads and such, go through this series[4]. Look through this[

F# sounds like it fits the bill. ADT, pattern matching, performant, great tooling (multiple amazing IDEs, a REPL, etc.), and a huge ecosystem of software packages to use with it (all of .NET). It's my favorite general purpose program

First thing that struck me - no earbuds. Reminds me of this funky dance video my uncle made in the early 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0opXVKNgfM

You know, I've heard this claim before (that the strategy behind VS Code is to make deploying code to Azure easy), but it never made much sense to me. Deploying a service to production straight from an IDE/editor sounds like a re

I'd be very skeptical of the "required" money quoted by anyone who is affiliated with the MTA or state government in general. There's a lot of evidence that indicates the MTA is used as a personal piggy bank. Take, for

That may be technically true, but we should be comparing ourselves to other countries that have had to tackle the same problems. Consider the Paris Métro[1], which is even older than the NYC subway system (1900 vs 1904). They have much be

We have enough money, if we get our costs under control. Our capital costs (and operating costs...actually everything) are much higher than most other cities/countries. Some good analysis here[1], in addition to this series the NY Ti

Do you really think the employees making minimum wage are doing "all the work?" If that's true, this guy did literally nothing. Which I doubt. Anyway, it seems like he's done a decent job of trying to spread the wealt

Take a look at F#. Huge library (all of .NET), cross-platform, has JS as a target, and is a great community.

"I’ve also always been suspicious of privatization schemes. That’s because I tend to think that when a service is for profit rather than for the public’s benefit, all sorts of perverse incentives arise." Holy crap, how can anyone

A little off topic, but does anybody else feel like GitHub's pace of feature development is...unusually slow? Admittedly, I have never used the paid Enterprise version so I don't know if it has received more attention. But, seri

I think about this a lot, mostly about Rochester, NY (where I went to college). It has world-class universities (and a renowned music conservatory[1]!), great history, festivals, relatively low unemployment[2] and the housing is dirt, dirt
