I’ve used it on multiple projects for clients over the last 5 years. These projects were large, made it to production, and were successful. I love it. Once you clear the initial learning curve it feels very productive, and gives you the fee

Huge segue, I'm a semi-retired web / data engineer just dipping my toes into research data software. I'm collaborating on a psychology paper, but I love physics. Can I ask you some questions? My email is in my profile.

Has anyone else noticed the fit seems to worsen over the first week or two? Mine were perfect when I bought them. Now they lose the seal after an hour of wear.

The climbing is all bunched together! I want to know if it’s mountaineering, alpine Trad climbing, or all climbing that is causing that Tetons figure. EDIT: I read the source. Looks like mostly mountaineering/unroped accidents. Now I c

I just interviewed a bunch of folks for a Haskell position at my startup. We started with a video call, then I sent them a real world take home assignment. It was a list of requirements to solve a problem in our actual domain, slightly vagu

I don't think it's currently possible to book flights to Google Flights itself. Doesn't it always redirect you to another site to book? You would have to contact that site for help in this siutation.

Because I think we need to change the system so that unelected rich folks don’t have that much power. The more we legitimize their work the harder that will be. I’m all for them continuing their work in the meantime though. I’m doing a poor

There will always be people in power. But maybe it is better if those people are elected, and operate in view of the public

I agree, it looks pretty hopeless sometimes, and I definitely appreciate what Musk and Gates are doing. I’d highly recommend reading “Winners Take All”, as it completely flipped my opinion on this subject. The author argues that giving up a

I'd like to live in a world where rich dickheads act more like Musk and do cool things. It's like living in a comic book. It's fun. But that's not our way forward. Forget the billionaires, we need to assemble, reinvest i

I’ve worked remotely for most of the last 10 years. Don’t buy into the idea that work is your community or social life. That isolation can drive you to go places where people hang out after work (I met most of my friends at the climbing gym

I have many rock climbing friends who live in vans and tents the majority of the year. I’ve spent significant time crashing with them. Nobody shits in a bucket. You find a place that has toilets of some kind. For example, in Indian Creek, U

The book Homo Deus also introduces this idea, but calls them “intersubjective realities”, and they include not only religion, but capitalism. He claims that the strongest of these today is humanism, and even those who are religious usually

I was just in the desert in Chile rock climbing (Valle de Los Condores), and there were tons of mines nearby. There were rivers and waterfalls everywhere, and a hydroelectric plant. It’s a weird climate, but water is definitely not lacking,

If you’re doing a new startup, and have aggressive timelines, what security measures would you implement to protect PII from day 1? I’m an experienced dev but not a security expert.

I’m just sitting down to do a new startup, but I’ve been out of the devops game for a few years. I feel behind. What tools/platforms/hosts should I use? The system will be your standard API+Database+Event bus+workers. I’m a fan of

I see it uses some framework Cube.js to run calculations and retrieve data, how can I change how MRR or other metrics are calculated?

Absolutely travel. Traveling solo is a hugely rewarding experience. Stay in hostels to meet other people and make friends. If money is tight, choose a cheap area. If you like outdoor adventuring, combine it with rock climbing or summiting s

There’s a great chapter in Thinking Fast and Slow where he talks about how placebo might be only a statistical phenomenon: regression to the mean. Sick people are a statistically extreme group, and tend to revert to the mean over time witho

Mushrooms definitely give you the feeling that everything around you has purpose and motive. The tree to your left isn't just a tree any more, it reminds you of a dragon, and you can determine its character, etc. You feel connected to

I don’t know what he was referring to but it’s really easy to get injured if you don’t take the time to learn. For example, you’re supposed to flex your foot whenever you’re doing something like lotus or it can hurt your knee

It takes a while for the Haskell community to reach consensus. Stack is definitely recommended by almost everyone for both beginners and production projects. It is used on every project I’ve run in to lately. Sure there are different ways t

This is very true, IF you can get over the psychology. I passed 5y of savings and investments a long time ago, but my relationship with money changes dramatically depending on whether I have good cash flow or not.

There are options between these two extremes. Haskell's Except monad is a great example. Or javascript promises. You can launch a bunch of actions in sequence and provide a single error handler for them. Each step doesn't have to
