I think the point of this article escapes anyone who doesn't know Haskell or a language with a similar type system. I don't want this to sound elitist, because it's not my goal, so I will clarify. In most languages, the abstr

And I think rapsey is referring to the fact that a compiler with a more powerful type system allows you to encode more logic in your types. This, in turn, means it will catch more errors at compile time at the cost of longer compile times.

Thank you for the input. I guess I was looking for the qualities that would apply to all those areas you mentioned. In the same way that systems theory is an abstraction that hovers above many different areas of human knowledge. However, I

I don't know if coding makes you smart, but the causal relationship might go the other way: you're more likely to be good at coding, the smarter you are.

Still, what's your motivation for wanting to grow more? Money can be a legitimate motivation, but you said that's not it. I guess I'm curious what drives you now.

It matters for engineers reading the article. It doesn't matter for the business. What they delivered was good enough. Could they have delivered a better solutions? Yes. Should they have searched for a better solution instead of implem

From your job Senior Backend Engineer job description it sounds like remote is US-only. Can you confirm this?

Is remote US only? That's what I can tell from your jobs page.

The Senior Software Developer position doesn't specify remote. Is remote available for that position?

Please just use Onsite for the future, to avoid showing up in search results for the word "r*emote". Thank you!

The article also mentions that CBT does little for this kind of trauma. There are more effective treatments. They're listed towards the end.

Elm doesn't allow you to call JavaScript code in Elm anymore. The reasoning is to prevent runtime exceptions. Instead, you have to go through something called ports, which is like passing JSON around. That's why there are people w

That's because it's taken from a library that deals with graphs[1]. I had to look it up, because I had no idea what it does either and I know Haskell. Here's a better example of what he meant in Elm, a language that looks a l

Hi. I looked on lever and saw that only the frontend roles are open to remote. Can you confirm this? I'd be interested in the fullstack role.

If you're making 50 euros per hour, couldn't stay in the Netherlands, so that you get to be with your girlfriend, friends and family and still work 3 days per week? I think 5000 euros per month should be enough even for the Nether

There's always a possibility of that happening, but you shouldn't let it at the forefront of your mind. Unless if it makes you appreciate every day more.

Look for the middle ground. I realized that I want to work on things I like, but I still need to eat, so I've decided to split my time. I want to work at least an hour to something I'm passionate about. That way, even if I spend m

I know about nix, but I'm referring to the language you use to describe the final image. Actually, this part is not a problem. The problem comes in the deployment part. For example, there's no concept of `Maybe this request failed

By portability I was referring to being able to move your application to different servers by running your provisioning system.

by elbear 8y ago
I was referring to the language you write playbooks in (YAML). There are no static checks, other than a dry-run that only tests for syntax errors. Frankly, I haven't heard of any provisioning system written in a compiled language. I wo

You get portability by using any provisioning system: Ansible, Puppet, Chef. Although, it's not exactly the same thing, because with Docker you have everything already installed in the image. I've only used Ansible and I was neve

Systems interact through inputs and outputs, right? I mean, one system's output can be another system's input and even the second system's output can be the first one's input. I guess my question was if there's some

I've been thinking about this lately. Specifically, I see a connection between systems theory and graph theory. My intuition tells me that all relationships between systems can be expressed as graphs. Can anyone confirm this? I'm

Have you ever tried sleeping with eyeshades? It has been shown[1] that even small sources of light can inhibit the secretion of melatonin (the hormone that regulates the circadian rhythm and consequently sleep). If you use eyeshades, you mi

What improvements have you noticed after quitting coffee? I ask, because I drink coffee in the morning during the fast. From everything I've read, it doesn't break the fast. Btw, I don't use coffee as a sleep substitute. I wa
