   I hear they've got a clowntown mobile app (I don't use it) but react, flow, graphql, relay, and their Haskell spam filtering / ghc work all seems pretty great.

   But I want tickets below market value. It's only fair I should have them.

   That only seems to matter if you're trying to off people. I just want them to not be born.

   Sometimes I wonder if they might not literally be Nazis.

   I understand monads and don't think it's a helpful metaphor, just kind of cute once you already understand what it's trying to explain.

   Can you link a few racist or misogynistic links? I generally like thiel. I'm open to not liking thiel but I suspect I might interpret him differently.

   If you already respect Thiel then I don't see him working with the president to steer things being a reason to stop.

    It's true I use and see unwrap more.

    A lot of people don't seem to agree with me but I think even expect is too long of a name and terseness for commonly used names seems more important to me than reading like natural language.

    What? Why would you need more govt intervention to get market to fill such an obvious need?

    Feel free to poke holes in the arguments. I mostly see is people just dismissing it on a gut level "it's ridiculous". Or just donate to the against malaria foundation.

    The costs of regulations are equally well measured in blood though it's a lot less visible than when it comes from say a building collapsing.

    I wish it were u and e rather than unwrap/expect. Or just "yolo" or "!" or something. Is there a way to rename / alias methods like that? edit: I see ? is going to be a trait you can implement to do that, so th

    Classic sophomoric dismissal.

    It worked for me but I'd forgotten what not having it was like, and I'm not sure I actually enjoyed the reminder. It was fascinating though.

    I actually hadn't heard of flex volumes until now, interesting. If you're interested here's the digitalocean pr upstream: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36894

    I've been working on setting up something similar up, but it's a pain because I'm trying out a fork of kubernetes with support for digitalocean volumes. The author has a PR upstream and it looks like it'll probably get

    I always felt so annoyed at the stupidity of the ratio requirements that I do feel some vague satisfaction imaging that it destroyed them (I have no idea what actually happened to cause a shutdown). Everyone buying seedboxes so that they c

    I wrote a cloc (count lines of code) competitor in rust that's pretty fast: https://github.com/cgag/loc (turns out perl is pretty easy to beat).

    What? You mean like every other program they've ever run in their lives if they're not a developer, except developed by a personal friend? Compiling is easy. Configuring path variables and installing interpreters are arcane to n

    I believe jblows games (braid, the witness) have less lines of code than one would typically expect. I think you should assume hes not writing code like a government contractor.

    I think food is something people have a lot of their identity tied up in. I'm a mealsquares man myself but all for something like Soylent or something becoming popular and cheap.
