Good business… ceteribus paribus. Which is to say, rarely if ever at all.

In case anyone’s interested in the math to get the dice answer, it’s (1 + 2 + … + 6) * 2500 / 6 = 8750. At least, I think it is

The fraud indicator in this case is that the card is a dupe, hence why the machine couldn’t read it and the number needed to be manually entered. So when the charge went through, some poor soul elsewhere in the world had to issue a chargeba

So in other words, the kind of thing that typically is suited to academic peer review? I don’t want to sound cynical, and this certainly isn’t ideal from a “cultivate a vibe of intellectual humility and curiosity” perspective, but is it a s

Gonna throw a hat in for Deno. It’s not super mature, but you can certainly write isomorphic React + some MVC code in a monolith - nothing to sneeze at, looks promising. I think tooling to generate typesafe SQL methods from inspecting a DB

No concurrency? No events. No more than a single team running a single service (even a monolith)? No events. Not dealing with asynchronous 3rd party APIs (eg: webhooks)? No events. Not dealing with arbitrarily many hosts/processes&#x2F

Next Advent of Code, grab yourself a download of Portacle and see how far you can get with Lisp. By day 7 you should have a feel for what people mean when they say you are directly editing the AST. Basically: there is the same amount of fri

The results are interesting. It seems like there is a lot of clustering going on in the regression data. It could be worth investigating if instead of a linear relationship between sleep quality and consistency with academic performance,

Looks like GP is drawing a distinction between deliberate application of good management skill, and reliance on the initiative of others. Unless you’re implying that good management is minimal (potentially zero) management?

To everyone asking for a recording: I appreciate the curiosity, but we were very much a live act. But I hope my little story encourages you to pursue the arts, and nurture them in your local area. Your local live music scene needs your supp

Anecdote: I distinctly remember being on the edge of sleep writing a song one night in 2019. I was about to fall asleep on the floor with a notebook in my hand, and just at that moment, the music came into my mind. For whatever reason, I wa

Pretty close with the JS, just change testClass.callHoHe to testClass.prototype.callHoHe and you're good to go. Agreed about btoa and atob, since they're globally scoped and I'm not sure if they can be overwritten...

GP wasn’t stating that a larger stock of cash is definitively not a parameter of inflation, but that it is not the only parameter. As to your question about the other factors, here’s a thought experiment: if I printed cash daily but locked

As someone who enjoys sharing a similar sense of humour and outlook as the people I work with, I'm personally more than happy to spend 15 minutes goofing around before a day of knuckling down and getting shit done. YMMV

Speaking from experience, last year we had an outbreak in Melbourne, Australia. The local government's response was guided by modelling from epidemiologists (and others), and went on to match the peak and length of the outbreak to the

As a counterpoint, and as someone who was hospitalised after a motorcycle accident, it's not the probability of a crash that's the worry, but the severity. With that said, I agree with GP: riding in the open air is liberating. Som

> Doesn't it introduce a weird (stateful!) computation that's hard to reason about? Yes and no. For example, maybe you want to initialise a temporary directory on the filesystem for writing files to, for some caching mechanism.

Just confirming I’m on the right page here, what about supply and demand? Doesn’t inflation increase the quantity of cash in existence, reducing its value relative to other units of exchange, and vice versa for deflation? So for example, a

Agreed. Another situation where type keys aren’t the grinch is de/serialisation. A contrived example: it’s somewhat simple to imagine the first example as half of a request handler, taking in some string input, asserting it’s within th

If I understand correctly, GP wasn't necessarily stating that Clojure guarantees an absence of boilerplate for every use case, but instead that it doesn't require boilerplate to be written every time you use it. I'd encourage

It’s also worth considering the scope of intended and realised meanings in a work, and whether or not we’d consider that dynamic as one worth pursuing in the future. Kind of like the old joke about English teachers looking too deeply into c

Having no experience in this area, I think it might have to do with text en/decoding - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake I'd recommend using another tool for this while I investigate, sorry.
