The way to learn monads is to just avoid them while hacking Haskell (or another functional language) and find the boilerplate of handling things like state or errors annoying. I truly don't believe any other way is as effective.

Ethical hackers have written some of the worst code I’ve ever seen. They have to know a ton about the security of frameworks, networking, etc… it’s a very complex role for sure, but they are not shining beacons of software engineering quali

What are you looking to learn about? I can get some links together tomorrow and send them over to you :)

I've spent the last few years in Oxford with a bunch of PhDs and they all programmed. Those who didn't program were interested in programming & I taught a couple at a community organised code bootcamp. I'm now living next

Really awesome to see people following their interests and dreams :) I don't have an iPhone so can't download this, but it looks great, well done!

You understand correctly! It's a crypto startup but I don't really want to have my account be to obviously mine. It isn't amazing bay area rates, but it's six figures.

These are all subjective. I worked on Haskell, without a degree, on interesting problems for an NY salary remotely out of my bedroom in Oxford. I have since moved to the Bay Area and am working for an Eastern European country while earning

It’s a false reason to collect more data by holding your Gmail hostage until you provide a phone number. It is a pretty shitty user flow with no benefit except for their data collection.

Just freeze requirements (pip freeze > requirements.txt) and load them into whatever env you're comfortable using. That's worked for me

Do you collect as a hobby or for profit? Seems like something I’d enjoy trying as a side-hustle but never really done before outside of Pokémon

The most common thing to use them for in TS is to acknowledge a value could be of type null or undefined. Let’s you then check you’re handling them correctly.

Not really, but HTDP has a nice boilerplate to frame problems for a computer program. You're not going to find the sterile neutrino by following it (probably), but you're going to be able to go from a simple cli tic-tac-toe to con

HTDP has a nice 7-step process to designing programs and suggests teachers ask the student to point to which step they’re stuck on, to help formalize it a little bit in their minds. I quite like it.

Seeing the same people who argue against crypto talk about how cool programmable money is just seems crazy. On a side note, I think a lot of comments on HN are well-articulated rubbish. I send threads of cool-looking technical discussions t

Ah this makes sense, I haven't used Erlang so didn't know that. Thanks!

I don't know of any, but even if there are a few, I'm unsure why it lost to Go/Rust/C++

I've always wondered why more crypto projects aren't using Erlang seeing as it's so good at distributed systems

Rackspace are US-based but have a large UK office in West London that could offer these services. They have their own data centres there and UK data privacy laws restrict what can be sent abroad. No idea if there are any UK-incorporated clo

I'm also slightly unsure that Iris -> Hash is correct, I don't see why it wouldn't be Iris -> [Hash]. Maybe scanners are that good but I'd have thought depending on things like light reflection you'd end up wi

I like the idea of a unique identity per person but I'm unsure about security: - Iris scans have false positives at scale - You can have eye surgery changing your iris - Cheap scanners can be fooled by photos, so you'd need to req
