I honestly cannot tell what the person to whom you're responding is saying. But if they suggesting people are working multiple jobs at a higher rate than the historical average, they would, in fact, be incorrect according to fed data:

Can you elaborate, maybe point to a data source on this? I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say. The prime age labor participation rate isn't out of line with historical trends: https://fred.stlouisfed.org&

The yield curve inversion has predicted the last 9 out of the 5 recessions. Could it also be that the two-year yield is higher (than the 10-year yield) because people expect the fed to lower the FFR after a couple of years after inflation h

fp-ts is great and still has active development but it has also been folded into effect-ts ( https://github.com/Effect-TS/ ) which is based on Scala ZIO. I think long-term it will have a larger ecosystem, more active dev

Yeah, it's been a second since I've used IntelliJ/Spring, but I recall that being the case as well. Gradle is something I've never messed with, but that makes sense.

I still don't understand some of this -- I developed in Java for 5+ years. >JVM runtimes have a relatively high startup cost I think many people are okay with that when developing server software that's going to run weeks at a

I've seen so many variations of this comment on HN and I'm still not sure why not having to deal with the JVM is a major plus.

Who is bailing them out though? My understanding is that SVB still had cash and 10 year MBS that cover 90%+ of deposits if those MBS were able to mature. And because of that when another bank takes over these accounts, they will (as a condi

This is what I don't understand about the conversation online. What you described (what I've heard is likely to happen) isn't a bailout. Yet many people are talking about this being a bailout. In this scenario, SVB shareholde

You're allowed mutability, even in languages like Haskell.

by douglasisshiny 4y ago
That could be the case. I've never used it. I did "learn" it to use a library (fp-ts) in typescript which basically brings Haskell into typescript and I love the concepts. It's certainly changed the way I think about pro

Does Haskell treat mutability as an afterthought? I thought constructs like IORef were for cases in which mutability is needed.

I recently discovered pnpm myself and found it to be a significantly better experience. I've been meaning to add something like changesets to it, too.

I thought nest was somewhat straight forward, minus the use of the angular module system, but I spent years using Java/Spring. That said, nest didn't have a component scan so you have to manually specify services per module. Havin

As someone who has had a severe TBI (traumatic brain injury) as a child, I, at times in my life, have spent time thinking about this. And I agree with your sentiment. On one hand, I'm a competent software engineer. I think I'm fai

Sure, but Netflix uses HLS, I assume, and doesn't have segments that are 15 minutes in length. So if you did drop a tcp packet, you're more likely to have lower quality for 10-20 seconds, not 15 minutes.

Much appreciated. I'll be sure to read through the post. I did buy a haskell book (Haskell Programming From First Principles) but haven't had time to read through it. Like you said, while there's a big upfront cost, it seems

I know there are a bunch of small guides / articles written by the author of fp-ts, but is there a good book, guide, etc. for diving in for someone who is kind of familiar with functional concepts but not quite ready for going full has

One subreddit was shut down. There are many other subreddits with pro-Trump users -- I visit them when I'm bored. Donald Trump is a billionaire and a former president. He can and does call into Fox News, et. al and immediately has an

I'm sorry -- are Trump supporters not able to speak any more? To my knowledge that is not at all the case. There's even one subreddit dedicated to asking Trump supporters questions, although posts have to be approved by the modera

Sadly it makes it harder to find a job as a software engineer in which I can work for a company or in a position making a positive impact on the world (as amorphous as that may sound). Any interaction that I've had with a recruiter whe
