What these all have in common though, is encouraging shared mutable references, they don't do a lot to make effects in a system explicit, don't encourage a clear organization of code, and many fundamental concepts (functions as va

I've always been frustrated that active record ORMs have completely overtaken tools like Linq2Sql. I don't deny the value of the active record pattern where it works, but in almost every case I've used SQL over the past 5 yea

I think the key thing to me here is that these notes are designed to be clicked through without losing track of where you were, and keep the context of why you're reading this current note. The stack concept they have here is really gr

I believe you're right, I meant to say React's Hooks, but now I can't find a reference to that so maybe I misremembered. I wasn't interested in previous versions of React after going over the basics in the docs a few tim

I think if we're talking about concepts at the level of OOP, we'd be comparing MVU and virtual DOMs rather than React. I learned to write UIs in F# through Elmish (used by Bolero), which was inspired by (unsurprisingly) Elm. React

I don't worry about the increased concentration of cannabinoids, but I do worry about the trend towards extremely high THC content while other cannabinoids like CBD are barely present.

by Weebs 5y ago
The high THC and lack of CBD in today's strains is concerning (to me) honestly. I'm worried that a lot of the data we've seen in the past about chronic cannabis use being relatively safe may not apply when THC/CBD ratios

I would even argue that it's a good thing in our current environment that we don't facilitate trade for things that aren't needed. Much of the arguments of deflation seem to rely on an economy that has maintained high and ide

I can't speak for Bitcoin's price, but the network's value is a global distributed ledger of transactions (debt) that has proven to be fault tolerant over many years. I think the store of value stuff is a bit of a bubble, and

I'm having trouble parsing what you wrote, but I assume you mean that the paper specifically looked at top 1% as defined by earnings or net worth? My point is that while we frequently use the 1% as a reference for discussions on inequa

1% is a colloquial way of saying "those who own capital for a living, instead of working for a living". The high income of athletes and highly trained professionals has little to do with our situation. However, most capital and ex

I've gotta say though as a beginner, I found ECS more approachable than the Actor/Object systems common in engines. Granted, I do a lot of FP and digesting data, so a series of systems to operate on data is sort of home turf. In t

Yes, high powered gaming isn't eco friendly either, but can we please stop ignoring magnitude and utility in this thread? You can power a typical US household for almost an entire month using the energy of a single bitcoin transaction.

They're completely ignoring the concept of magnitude, and realistically their claim is "we use energy for other stuff, so there's nothing wrong with using massive amounts of energy for X". They're making an implicit

As others have alluded to, it's more common in FinTech (ex: Jane Street and Quicken Loans). There also seems to be a number of front end devs using Fable + React.
