Their nonprofit is already accepting donations and they are already selling services. I can't be that hard to "sell" a cosmetic Firefox Premium upgrade, although it might not be used enough to be worth it.

I'd argue that they are fundamentally different. Option is "just another type". You interact with it using constructors, map/flatMap/get etc. You could implement Optional in Java 1.5 but can't implement nullabl

Can you elaborate on that? As I see it dynamic was popular in the 90's (Python, JS, Ruby), but outside of that it's always been pretty much dynamic for scripting and static for everything else.

nuclear engineering is a direct combination of applied physics, civil engineering and mechanical engineering, all having a long history. SE started out from mathematics, but the hardest problems are not related to it. We're only pretty

It's more like mathematics. While it's true that everyone can invent their own maths, this is only really done in advanced academia for research. Almost everything in practical use is standarized. No-one is arguing about whether y

This is a symptom of the lack of knowledge not a cause. Imagine you want to built a building but no one really knows how, then copying successfully completed buildings, and established construction engineers and companies is a pretty good

Event sourcing with snapshotting and deleting old events - like DB transaction logs - is still event sourcing. In fact I'd say it's the only way ES makes practical sense.
818.
by dtech 5y ago
For non-trivial amounts of data you should combine event sourcing with snapshots - i.e. a somewhat up-to-date materialized view/DB table - so you don't have to start for 0. At that point you can delete older events or move them to

> Functional programs are constructed using only pure functions If that's your definition, functional programs basically don't exist in the real world. Wikipedia (and I) don't agree with that [1], it specifically separates

This is just branching, except your branch is in a different repo. You just call the branch downstream/master and your local master, instead of the more common origin/yourbranch and your local yourbranch. For the rest the merging

Several reasons are given in the article. Hydro and wind are down, nuclear is being phased out, coal plants are converted to gas, among others.

I highly doubt ETFs exists or can be made that give exposure to your privately owned "mom & pop" shops, or even larger privately owned companies.

I've seen it happen. Blizzard is quite notorious for having some weird network links, where a VPN is known to be a workaround. Example [1], and I've heard the same from WoW players. [1] https://eu.forums.blizzard.com&#x

I highly doubt it's cost-effective. These things are complicated and have specialized equipment. The endpoints also very different for data and electricity.

It might differ per country. In NL it has been the case. The latest comes with an USB-C -> lightning cable [1]. I think the micro-USB might have been around iPhone 7 era. [1] https://www.apple.com/nl/iphone-13-pro&#x

This is non-news, this has already been the case since 2009 [1]. It mandates micro USB, EU iPhones come with an adapter. I'm not sure what the current status is, USB-C phones don't come with an adapter. [1] https://en.w

While a reasonable basis, I'm not sure how a society of more than say 100 people could function if everyone did that. At some point you have to trust people. I mean, have you even been to Finland? According to your philosophy you don&#

The linux kernel is multiplatform, and is full of ISA-specific code. They are not exclusive.

That is not really the same. I wouldn't be surprised if Mac OS is still full of PowerPC specific code that just isn't easily identifiable as such.

It depends a bit on the consulting firm, but most are indeed "serial hired hands" like the blog says. Most are fine to be for 2-5 years though as a fresh grad. You'll get some experience. Most good people move on to freelanci

Apparently most people don't work that way. Or at least it drives up engagement up until a person-specific breaking point.
