   Ok, to be fair - Teams video calls is much better than hangouts we were using earlier. We do like chatting where threads are not a second thought like Slack (and UX is not "perfect" for threads). But major pain point for us is sha

   Interesting you mentioned "Kelly criterion", I have been interested in it for some time and the articles I read seemed to point out that it works "best" only after the fact (after the trade has been executed). How do yo

   What's wrong with ordinary traders taking advantage of the flaws in dealers and big money bots? Aren't they (dealers and such) the ones who have been doing it forever?

   They solve two different problems. jQuery: Add some javascript features like ajax/animation/some DOM manipulation to a (dynamic/static) HTML page. React: Create the dynamic HTML from scratch, that will still do ajax/anim

   I built http://pagepoller.r14.railsrumble.com it scrapes web pages and emails if some specific part changes. I use it to get top HN story, xkcd and when free books are available on packtpub.

   Not exactly the same, but only saves tweets with links. I built http://www.tweetd.com to auto generate a link blog from the links I tweet. I use it to keep/search my bookmarks.

   Elm packages are not allowed to use JavaScript, period. I personally thought this very restrictive and unnecessary. But after seeing this, maybe Elm/Evan is doing it right after all.

    Would you still recommend Flutter over Cardova (with Elm app inside)? Flutter/Dart seems cool, but I'm in love with Elm these days. Looking to build a app by myself not outsourcing.

    That looks a whole lot like Elm's Custom/Union/Sum types, except the compiler helps by making `STATE.isValid` redundant (which the programmer might forget to call).

    Confused this with AnyBar, it displays a simple colored icon in the Menu bar. I use it for displaying my local build status. https://github.com/tonsky/AnyBar

    You're right, my bad. I didn't know TypeScript had ADTs. Should probably take a serious look at TypeScript.

    > it expands your mind as a programmer That’s exactly what got me interested in FP. But after doing some serious work in FP, I must say typed FP really does help keep my mind more saner, knowing nothing’s broken in the product, with my c

    I built a page poller, that scrapes any web page periodically to check if some particular part of it is changed and then email it to me. Use it to have new xkcd pics delivered to my mail among other stuff. http://pagepoller.r14.r

    The only reason I use Chrome for development is the custom formatters, any idea if there’s a plan to implement this in Firefox?
