This is the type of thing that a good PR review culture will handle. I love that this is an option in some languages. But in a company, you need to decide what cool features should be used and when and how much.

Jobs that you work on hard, complicated things. Scala is relatively popular in Fintech and Finance in general. There's things like Chisel or Spark. But there are relatively few simple CRUD app companies using Scala.

Scala isn't as hot as it used to be. I think the rough Scala 2->3 transition, coupled with improvements in the base Java language, emergence of Kotlin + Android support, and popularity of Python in data science and data pipelines (l

I had a coworker who had lived in Nigeria, working for the oil companies, with some pretty crazy stories. Duffle bags full of money guarded by squads of guys with machine guns being a normal day to day practice in some parts of the business

2024. Dragging windows to the corners isnt how I would do it in windows or linux, I just use a super key and an arrow key and it moves it as needed along the tile. Having to drag a window around is terrible design.

Windows is absolute garbage, I agree. But the application windows behave normally, maximize when I want them, will take half a screen, quarter screen, etc. with just a quick hotkey. Mac doesn't have that extremely basic functionality w

I can give you a few examples: Packages are not done well compared to linux. Brew is a poor replacement. It feels like the terminal and everything involved is constantly out of date. The OS just has a lot of weird things, like the ribbon at

Wegmans is obviously better than Whole Foods, and its not even close. You can much more easily buy normal food at normal prices at Wegmans than Whole Foods. Whole foods has very large, strange gaps in staples.

The self professed skeptic community is pretty extreme. Their arguments so often go beyond occams razor that is essentially absurdism to get around anything non-material or unexplained by current science / thinking.

I am going to assume you are the author of MASON and this was agents.jl? They make a lot of claims on how much faster they are than MASON, Netlogo, and Mesa. But in practice I am not finding that to be the case. Also they arent counting the

I strongly prefer going to my local ACE Hardware or True Value Hardware before Lowes or Home Depot. Their prices will tend to be a little bit higher. However they seem to be staffed by people who know what they are doing, and Home Depot and

We will come full circle when AI starts with a long winded story about how their grandfather wrote assembly and that's where their love of programmings stems from, and this c++ class brings back old memories on cold winter nights, maki

I never really got onto "vibe coding". I treat AI as a better auto-complete that has stack overflow knowledge. I am writing a game in Monogame, I am not primarily a game dev or a c sharp dev. I find AI is fantastic here for "

This episode never made any sense at all. We already have globes for true sizes.
