I think for me at this point MacOS is the main reason to stick with Macs. While from user perspective it didn't get much better (maybe it got worse?) since Lion release in 2011, I still find it a major advantage of Macs. If I were to s

An interesting thing I've read recently is that there can be different kinds of monolith: - application monolith (what we usually talk about) - database monolith (multiple apps all using one db) - deployment monolith (multiple apps but

Hello Peter, Gregory (author) here, thank you for your comment! I agree with all your points, especially the first one - I think there's no way to reverse this trend. Lower level languages will always have some share of the market, but

Yeah, I also start getting confused by reusing of the syntax. Now there's also a proposal to use { 1, 2, 3 } to represent sets - but {} is already used for blocks of code and for maps, so now that will be essentially a 3rd use case for

Let's say you have 1% wealth tax and $1,000. Without asset growth, after 1 year you have $990. If you include let's say 5% asset growth, after 1 year you have $1,000 * 1.05 * 0.99 = $1,039. Then after another year, without growth
