It works, I stage (git add), I refactor, it breaks, I checkout (preserves staged work), refactor again, commit push. Also a fan of numerous small commits - makes good documentation and elimates wasted time untangling hours of thought. And w

Never used Haskell but rather F#/OCaml and immediately fell in love with its maybe monads and partial function application. Couple years later I dipped my toes into Erlang and my initial disappointment with the absence of these constru

Queue everyone pretending to be constitutional scholars. Bottom line is that "we" no longer value free speech and as such it will be eliminated. Full stop.

Theorizing about the nature of consciousness without having been subjected to it's multitude of altered states is an obvious waste of time. If you can't or won't venture into the "field", then at least have the humi

I often like to start with nothing in situations like these and each time I encounter boredom or pain I apply the simplest remedy. Eventually the ad hoc remedies themselves can become a source of pain and I solve that too in the simplest wa

For me socializing is like a muscle and the more I do it the easier it becomes. I've plugged myself into a silly group of supportive people that help me exercise that muscle on a regular basis and provides me with constant reassurance

I'd hate to be the guy reviewing a commit constituting "days of work". Micro-commits are dual purpose, providing a hedge against lost work and making commits readable. Worse comes to worse there's always "git push o

This should be self-evident and holds for any correlation of education and trust - people without means receive inferior education (indoctrination?) and tend to mistrust a system that does not value them (or actively harms them). So now let

The existance of a problem requiring censorship is never critically examined. The need for AI mediation between humans is never questioned. The author himself is captive to this most insidious meme without the slightest awareness.

I can relate in my distaste for the paranoia and for test code complexity and volume exceeding that of implementation and in the false sense of security offerred by 100% unit test coverage. But manual testing is for the birds and you cant p
