I'm sure there's plenty of other issues and confounders to pick apart in the study, but it was a fair claim that most would be misled by the isolated quote to mean that no imagining of negative events occurred at all as part of

The other point that’s often forgotten is that labor costs have risen, and shipping has gotten cheaper. This is just how economics plays out. Protectionism can be great for national security and employment, but people would have to stop exp

This was in a top level comment on this post. It perfectly articulates what sets Erlang/BEAM/Elixir apart from other runtimes/languages. Essentially performant, fault-tolerant parallelism by design. https://www.y

To explain further, the `receive` keyword is a bit like a switch statement (but actually a pattern matcher) for incoming messages. Here they made a new server that takes an return process (From) and a number (N). The exclamation point send

On mobile it’s a trade off of rendering bugs with UI bugs. I’ve seen issues on older Android phones where Compose causes the text field to lose focus and flicker when typing if autocomplete is switched on. The workaround is to tell users to

I’m an ex gamedev with the misfortune of having to work with a legacy SwiftUI project. SwiftUI, and Jetpack Compose on Android, are basically react-style functional dom-diffing style renderers and have all the problems that come from that.

One of those major differences would be that each ‘process’ is incredibly lightweight, and a memory model that allows you to spawn millions of them without having to think about memory allocation or cpu contention

My favorite hot take from that article is that if a functional test can't exercise a piece of code, delete it. That is, if the code can't be exercised in normal usage of your program, it serves no purpose. One retort might be tha
