I used to be a professional clojure developer, now I write in ReasonML (syntax change of Ocaml) for work. I would say that that the reason type errors do not hurt Clojure as much as say Javascript is because Clojure data is immutable, and a

Much faster compilation times, very strick static type checking, however a very small community. Interop syntax is pretty tedious but it has no performance penalty. For example Clojurescript has a much bigger community.

I'm pretty sure the Rav4 is considered a SUV. I don't think the Outback is a crossover. Subaru's main crossover seems to be the XV.

If you look at Los Angeles you can clearly see that the problem is zoning. The only high rises are in the downtown area. It looks almost comical. The vast majority of the city is zoned for single family homes.

Walmart actually has a pretty good online shopping experience. They even give free 2 day shipping on orders of 35 or more IIRC.

When I was in college I supplemented my learning with Notes on Diffyqs, which I thought explained things much clearer and concisely than my assigned textbook. It is available for free and has tools for modeling systems in Octave/Matlab

In general, type checkers almost never catch any errors that wouldn't have been found extremely quickly in a strongly typed dynamic language.

This bill seems like it forces socialism/command economy on all companies valued greater than 1 billion dollars. It is amazing something like this came from a United States senator. The worst thing about stuff like this is that is soc

AMD and Nvidia both have better drivers than Intel, although admittedly Nvidia only offers proprietary drivers.

Making an API public means that people can do whatever they want with it. If you are not sure if you want to allow the API in the future it should not be public. People will always look to do the laziest thing possible which might mean hook

Clojure has implementations of CSP, Minikanren and pattern matching all done with macros. I'm not sure how you can call these toy examples

A common problem with low end devices is specs that make no sense. Why does this device have a quad core processor? I bet this phone would perform much better if they used a slower processor but doubled the memory. It's crazy that Andr

This article is missing many critical details. Most notably it doesn't touch on the core identity crisis Intel has been having since the i386. When Intel cut off third party "fabs" from producing its chips, it became reliant

While it may be easier that way for the developers, it makes sense to make the API more idiotmatic for the target platform/SDK.

The thing that stands out to me here is that Tesla has wasted a ton of time and money building up competency in commodity features. No consumer considers Tesla Seats to be the differentiating factor. Why on earth didn't Tesla just deci
