Ah, I guess `when` is literally Kotlin's equivalent of match. What I'm thinking of here is Rust's match statements, which do give you the ability to make use of those intermediary values by making use of Rust's enum type

One option is match statements. Great way to make this sort of inline assignment unnecessary

Clojure/Clojurescript is an interesting ecosystem in these regards. You get your shared models and lisps are pretty good at being their own form of custom syntax. It's a pleasant ecosystem with really good tooling support

Easy until you have 100,000 of them anyway, in which case it's expensive and slow to run it for every dev. (At that point you have enough devs that microservices 100% make sense, though)

For fun and learning. In the last 10 years all sorts of new languages have come out and been successful. We're not nearly at the end game of language development.

In my experience, it's been because the fake one breaks down in just a few days and I end up ordering a new one, after which point I notice the important differences between the two :(

SQLAlchemy supports all of the above - in general it's really terrific about being extensible enough to support the corner cases.

In postgres and mysql, at least, the database has to re-scan data every time you run a limit/offset query query. It gets progressively slower as your offset increases. The efficient way to handle it is to set a lower limit on the pkid

Probably would help if they freed up space and battery life by not having a totally unnecessary second screen taking up the top row of the keyboard.

I left because I never had interest in staying in Michigan in the first place, though Ann Arbor is absolutely gorgeous and if I wanted to live outside a major city it would be one of my first choices. Salary is one part of that, but unless

Arbitrary example: GRR -> Copenhagen roundtrip is ~$1,100 USD. From NYC or SF I can do that for ~$400-$500. Pretty much anywhere else I could pick has a similar differential. That's a massive cost difference, especially when you&#x

That of course depends on what you're going for. The 'lifestyle' comparison only takes into account basic goods. It doesn't take into everything else that actually affects your personal quality of life (cities vs more r

I imagine either way they wouldn't want to bloat shipping costs, that would be rough.

> although our 16oz is concentrated and holds 32 loads I'm sure you're aware Tide is concentrated and suitable for far more loads than they claim on the bottle. You do definitely have the honest angle going for you on that bit

50oz of Tide runs cheaper than 16oz of Frey detergent. How much of the market is open to such a premium on the pricing model (or is there another factor I'm missing)?

My company is currently using drone. The lack of first class scheduled builds is a real buzzkill. Jenkins or similar feels like a much better solution atm still (you can still push for containerizing jobs either way)

I really like that mobx + vuex have their version of "memoized selectors" (computed getters) straight out of the box, fully integrated. They're so insanely useful.

The cognitive overhead of redux ends up being pretty high due to the boilerplate in my opinion. It feels like complexity increases very linearly as project size goes. I've found that MobX translates to a much simpler mental model, thou
