Coming from a Clojure background which is … different. But I understand the enthusiasm around similar language features. But to borrow words from another comment I find Kotlin “ruthlessly productive”. Apart from the lambdas, functions, data

I've not written Ruby since about 2006 except with a stint in a Rails codebase which did nothing to give me any faith. How do you go about e.g. extracting a group of fields and renaming them? Or reorder function arguments? Is there a s

I liked (but was conflicted) Clubhouse enough to end up on a sales call. The person I talked to said much the same, “story” is more or less arbitrary and iirc, there’s no real concept of “bug”. We went with Jira on the end. It’s fine, and w

If that happened (UK) here I don't know how everyone would get to school? I guess the answer is get in a car? Which is just as crazy. I think it's creepier that we force children to be grown-up and take on adult attributes before

I contacted StackOverflow to see if we could post a job. The sales rep said that they only took subscription accounts, not one-off postings. They were open and helpful, but as I only had one job to post, they said they couldn't help us

Once you're into a relational model you can start treating your forest of trees as a big graph if you want to (though you don't have to). And you can edit nodes individually without having to iterate the entire document. But assum

I submitted this link, and tried hard not to editorialize the page title. But the communication around this from the BBC has been dishearteningly weasel-worded and posting the original would have been, IMHO, deceptive through omission. The

This comment comes across as arrogant. It's a privilege to have the spare time and energy to act on all of your intentions. You could apply the same argument to keeping to-do lists, storing people's phone numbers in your phone boo
