Note the UK government, who are incredibly slow and incompetent, reacted within hours to the news breaking with a travel ban from six countries the variant has been identified in. That speed of reaction makes me think there’s something to t

People don't want to deal with an Ebenezer Scrooge saying "bah humbug" after a year of lockdowns and not seeing families. Interesting topic but maybe one for after the holidays. Cool robots in your bio :)

First thanksgiving in the US. My wife and I have stocked up on some of the worst looking pre-made things from Safeway to easily make tomorrow so neither of us have to cook. Excited to have a long weekend :) Enjoy yours too!

I think you're overthinking this. TypeScript definitely helps catch issues - there have been large migrations to TS that were well received by engineers and project managers alike. Yes there are issues in the type system but you can fi

He wrote an article a while back insulting the morals of a few colleagues in the Haskell world. When I went to share it with said colleagues I realised he had an account on our internal slack. He had previously worked there on said technolo

This guy always writes such negative posts about crypto while working on his own centralized digital treasury settlement system https://github.com/adjoint-io - the exact thing crypto threatens.

I'm on a J2 and think I can progress onto another one if I decide to stay in a couple years (via a work sponsorship). Saying this, Green Cards are obviously crazy difficult to get without already living in the US for years and O-1 visa

I think Web3 is just a term that something will change the web. Semantic web used it first, there's the whole AI/VR Web3 movement, there's crypto, etc...

Glad to see hype-free crypto posts :)

Found it amusing after moving to the bay area that a job ad on the side of a local Chinese restaurant was offering more for a "floor supervisor" than a professorship at Oxford Uni that I had just seen.

Moving to the US from Europe isn't that easy. I only made the move because my wife is a postdoc over here, but with things like H1-B freezes and covid-19 it can be very difficult to do.

Why not just open to remote hiring across Europe then, rather than be location-dependent?

I'm looking at it through another lens - a way to improve my intermediate haskell and learn about HDL. Maybe they're pushing for commercial use but there are alternative reasons to be interested in this too!

I think there's a gap between running tests without "defined starting and ending states" and chaos engineering. This would be closer to exploratory testing for me, however rather than having a QA team run them you're out

I think it'll build better debugging skills by the time you're more senior and/or working on more novel problems that might not be on SO yet.

Can you just use a multi-paradigm language to do this?

Don't hate on poor old OOP :( It's a good way to take that step from scripting to software engineering. Sure it can get out of hand with AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean's but so can other paradigms.

I like Algorand. It was the first blockchain I used without knowing it ( https://chessarena.com/ ) use/used it for storing game results for official Online FIDE games.

The ticket is authenticated as yours by using the private key of the wallet that holds the ticket. The company creating the tickets will say if it’s resellable etc, these are purely properties of an object. Verifiers may well exist but how

Sounds a little like you’re dealing with burnout. I’ve known these feelings well. Can I suggest two things that helped me? 1) Make sure you find hobbies outside of work that you enjoy, your professional life doesn’t define you and 2) rather

Sorry, I don't think you understand this technology at all. I appreciate one might want to remain sceptical of something that has so much FOMO and tulip behaviour but I feel you're being facetious. There's a well-known issue
