Luckily it's not too late. A C#/Kotlin approach could be introduced and would not interfere with existing Optional. The type system would need to be extended with a T? (nullable), T! (non-nullable), smart-casting on null-checks, a

The advantage is that you don't have to name things. "v" is a bad name in a larger context, and it quikly becomes unwieldy if you use a full name. let transformedData = transformFoo(data); transformedData = transfor

I'm mainly puzzled why they want to introduce additional syntax specific for it, when higher order function are perfectly possible in the current language already and integrate well with the F#-style pipe.

This is sort-of how Scala does it. _ in the context of a lambda means "the next argument", so it is general: val plus: (Int, Int) => Int = _ + _

This is a bit pedantic. All relevant JDK distributors follow Oracle's LTS versioning scheme.

I really like the Kotlin approach, where they just embraced null being a fact of life on the JVM/JS and instead integrated nullability into the type-system [1]. C# and Typescript do something similar. So then you get the best of both w

They do provide immunity in 95% (conservative) of cases, so it massively reduces the population that mutations can happen in.

That is already done on a large scale, through gas tax. However, it doesn't differentiate much between locations or vehicle types.

If any fiat currency would go down 15% we'd call it a crash. USD/GBP fell 19% after the brexit-referendum, that was an abnormal noteworthy event with quite far-reaching consequences. For BTC it's a daily occurence...

Because for import/export currency volatility matters a lot. 99% of goods depend on import in some way.

I highly doubt that without a reliable source. Proteins don't "rot", they fall apart into amino acids which are absorbed. I have never heard amino acids becoming unusable due to long digestion tracts. The reason I've alw

I suspect it's because of a solid physical engineering culture. They probably have enormous safety factors and redundancies or work-arounds, since you can't change anything physically once it's launched. So if things go alrig

Does your battery drain that quickly when not in use? I have a Braun 7 myself and often take it with me when travelling, and it easily does 6 shaves on a full battery, probably can do 10+.

In my country - and most I suspect - you have to make your house payment to a notary, about as far away from anonymous untraceable as you can get. I think that's good.

Most Dutch banks have instant payments in between them for a couple of years [1]. Iirc I recently transferred money from ING to ABN and it was instantaneous in the weekend. [1] https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/tech/artikel&#x2F

They usually charge a small monthly fee if you want a credit card. I assume successful fraud is just an operational cost like all the others.

credit cards are used minimally in Europe, cash and debit cars are the overwhelming majority of transactions. There's no difference in fraud protection between debit and credit cards in Europe, at least on my bank. Fraud is refunded fo

Yes, but this is not what this accounting line "reveals". Say you find rot in your roof, so you immediately set aside $X to pay for a roof replacement, since you now know that soon this cost will be incurred. Doing says nothing ab

Counter-acting this negative train of thought is a goal of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression, and it's very successful. But also way more expensive than pills.

We see these low interest rates worldwide, twisting them into somehow the EU having them to screw poor people over is laughable. Note that low interest rates affect those with money (i.e. not poor) much more than those without much money.
