I'm a bit torn on whether an advanced type system like TS produces better api designs for libraries or whether it promotes bad designs that need advanced typings to be safe and sound. I feel typescript is in many ways closely tied to J

and what about the people who voted in that election. do they have any say in their own countries matters, or are just to believe american influence is good for them

Yeah its good, one point that my little experience has shown is that production containers cannot be used for development since they lack all the tooling and are designed pretty bare bones hence the focus is on allowing customising developm

Absolutely you can see the dev containers for many popular languages here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers To get started all you need is docker, vscode + remote containers extension I have been usin

Tried it on a few small repos, I don't know if it's just me but the whole thing is quite slow when using the web version. Connecting via visual studio code to an existing codespace was lot faster especially scrolling and searchin

Tried it briefly, I currently use i3 on ubuntu and found it to be much much slower than that, the animations while pretty get pretty jarring once u start switching windows too often. I much prefer the i3 style of just showing a blinking cur

Deleting code shouldn't be this hard, by logging how often a piece of code is being invoked in production one can start planning purges of unused dead code. It has to be done carefully but by no means it is so complex that it shouldn&#

For finding and deleting dead code anyone can get up and running by using something called tombstones, marking pieces of code as dead and then logging their invocations to see if they are really being used and if yes then how so. It is much

Decision table's are really good at representing complex rules, in a language with pattern matching u can convert a nested if else block to a decision table that is much more readable, as an example see https://github.com&#x

Note that the book iss not a Haskell tutorial, it's rather a design book that can be applied to any language. The author merely choose Haskell for its expressivity. Haskell is used in a lot of places, as an example Facebook's Sigm

I think for a chat app Haskell may not be useful(but note that whatsapp was built on top of Erlang, a somewhat functional language) I think Haskell and other functional languages can really improve software in domains with complex business

Earlier we used to have multiple web apps with separate databases, now we are using a single web app that can connect to different databases and configuration based on the subdomain, so far it's worked great, having a single web app re

Adding types at the start of a years long project is going to help massively later on at some slight friction early on. Static typing makes explicit connections between code that are usually implicit in dynamic languages, these connections

Typescript compiler can be configured to silence many kinds of errors, these are especially useful while migrating a large Javascript codebase. Also look at typescript not just from an error catching perspective but also from a tooling and

Being a part of one of these, I agree most companies have realised have a dedicated offshore team is much better than assigning work via third party consultancies. If anyone is struggling to hire in their local market definitely try to get

Very interesting links, thanks for sharing. So the trend isn't changing we still need bigger models to make progress in NLP and CV, while the algorithmic effeciencies are promising but they aren't giving anywhere near the same imp

Agreed the cost aspect of Moore's law may continue to remain true, especially with chiplets with varying fab nodes and 3d architectures. Wright's law will also bring down costs as lower nm nodes mature. But as mentioned in the co

Yes specialized hardware for AI are seeing steady improvements, I'm curious if these improvements rely on the particulars of the algorithms running on these machines. As an example several of the AI chips use lower precision floating p

Interesting, I wonder what happens now that Moore's law is considered dead and we can't rely on computation power increasing year over year. To make further progess with general purpose search and learning methods we will need lot

Pretty nice, while selecting the package the select version drop down placeholder is not fully visible and I am not sure what happens after installing a package, is the package auto loaded? How can i import an installed package

Absolutely yes, right now I'm running an old Dell Latitude which I bought from shops selling old corporate laptops. It's powerful and was under warranty before the purchase. It's no brainer buying second hand electronic items

There's a fine balance between over-engineering and under-engineering, right now I'm working on an old piece of software that has been designed without any significant engineering process, while things remain easy to understand an
