Biobeads are not a natural phenomenon; they are produced for and used by water treatment plants and therefore it's the responsibility of their owners to ensure that they don't leak into the ocean where they don't belong. This

I find the design aspect of stringing (primarily) defaults together very pleasing over the alternative of authoring ad hoc CSS/SASS/SCSS for every project. Inlining it however, I'm with you.

In Clojure it's: (.-> foo bar baz) So you might be right in correcting me, it's been a while since I've used another FP language in anger. With regards to taking the address of foo, pointers are generally not a (use

It allows existing method-heavy code to be used in a functional style without bending the knee to more OOP inspired patterns. Think of a fluid API, but instead of chaining method calls you'd pass data to several functions "chained

I'm happy to say that ~80% of Sweden and Norway don't vote for right wing populist parties like SD and Fremskrittspartiet, so "vast majority of us" might be a bit of a stretch.

Sweden is very green and comparatively car free. Having open windows during summer to let in light, fresh air and bird sound is culturally strong here. You can buy curtains, you can't retroactively insert a window as easily nor should

Cheers! You mean in terms of having one centralized source of truth? I find this exact same problem with dependency systems as well; every project has their own dependency tracking file, and unless there is a deliberate attempt at uniting t

And having written a lot of Common Lisp, Go code is extraordinarily straight forward in a sense where every developer writes in almost the exact same style. This is not true for Common Lisp (even though it's not as bad as people make i

Single file dependencies are amazing. I've never understood why it's so unpopular as a distribution model. They can be a bit clunky in some languages (eg. C), but even then it's nothing compared to the dystopian level of nigh

This is overly simplified to the point of being wrong. Water usage spent on watering crops used to then raise livestock (eg. alfalfa, soy) account for some 70% or more of total water usage in regions where this type of farming is done. In a

I see error handling as the biggest culprit here. When I use dynamically typed languages, it's not necessarily the lack of types that make me write code quicker, it's the fact that I can call anything from anywhere with a complete

I suspect that this is the more common opinion, especially when the desired outcome is real world use. Recursive descent is surprisingly ergonomic and clean if one gets the heuristics right. Personally I find it way easier than writing BNF
