I think at this point the metaphor of "function coloring" has been overused, and we should use the real name: monadic async. The problem is obvious when you look at what a monad is: you have lots of ways in, but no way out. So eve

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. HN is HN, and the vast majority of messages don't use irony or sarcasm. Humor is relatively rare. Often messages are annotated with a "/s" to indicate sarcasm. After spending a bit of t

I agree that the initial Bored Apes are better. Taste varying from person to person doesn't mean that everything is equally appealing to the same amount of people. From my observations, most people find them ugly, or at least far from

Pedantic point since we're on HN and I spent some time learning about this. Moonshine is also distilled, so the best bang-for-your-buck in terms of ethanol quantity for price would be water, sugar and bread yeast, maybe adding tomato p

Something that wasn't mentionned: that monkey jpg is ugly as sin. Github auto-generates icons and makes something that looks nice. Some people have worked on AI-generated art and made beautiful things. You could also take a camera, poi

Unrelated to the content of the article, what's up with censoring "wtf" in the title? I often see links with "WTF" (usually in caps) in the title, so I don't think this is coming from the HN side. Is this an ed

Thanks for the clarification, I now understand what you meant by the article being unclear.

I had the same thing for a recent vacation. Since I was bored at the end, I am now excited to get back to work. I think it's nice to finish on a few boring days, so you don't have regrets and are ready to go back to work.

As someone that learned programming with editors/IDE, it's nice once in a while to go back to more basic methods, think more about the code. This is useful when at work the edit/deploy/test cycle is ~5 minutes.

I don't understand how it is a good thing. Doesn't that mean that more money/time/energy will be spent compared to before for the same results? If that's the case, that sounds worse to me, but maybe I missed somethi

I think another part of what makes NodeJS look simple is that JS uses async a lot, especially in the browser, so when you do server-side JS and use async, it feels natural because that's how you do things in JS. In other languages, asy

Usually software architecture is not language-dependant, so your knowledge from Java could be used here. For example, you can do hexagonal architecture in NodeJS. All of what you learned about exceptions can also be applied here. Probably m

I don't know much about computer security. Is this a domain where you can fix something that was broken and be okay, or is this a constant race between attackers and defenders? If it's the first, more pressure is great. If it&#x27

This is an inherent risk to a lot of things that not many people talk about. Learning more things, seeing more of the world always comes with a risk of feeling trapped in your old life at the end. This is true for abstract things like think

A good thing about that article that I haven't see anyone else mention: it's easy to send it to people to explain your position. It's not aggressive, it's based on fact, and clear about its values. Thank you for that, th

I've taken a look at pretty much all of your comments on this story, and that seems to be the logical conclusion of your stance on generics. I'm not really sure how you could think otherwise and write the comment I replied to, and
