For those that enjoy this sort of thing, the exam for dentistry involves a lot of literal shape rotation.

Have you used Algebraic Effects a lot? What are the downsides to using them in your experience, if you have?

There can be, though what would you call this 3rd module?

What are the 26 different electoral methods? I only see three simulated.

This is pretty interesting. Have you connected with people doing token economics design or DAO governance? That would be pretty applicable. Where did you source all the different electoral methods?

Look into the intersection of Tax and Cryptocurrency, if you haven't already. There's a lot of stuff to do in there, I would imagine.

I've started doing programming language research, specifically in three topic areas: 1. How to tamp down program complexity by compartmentalizing side effects? Are hexagonal architectures, monads, and algebraic effects the best ways? W

> The whole point of a lot of code is to have side effects. Depends on the domain. For domains that have to interact with the outside world, there's no choice to have side-effects, but it can be contained. It's well known the M

The problem is, future programmers only get to look at the artifact--your shitty code--rather than all the learnings you got, since I bet you never wrote it down. Oh right, I'd have to ask you about it. And chances are, you're not

You should say this under the question of how it's different than Julia. It's not enough to say it's statically typed, since not everyone is convinced of the benefits based on the context they're coming from. I just saw

Blue noise is useful in games for generating more natural looking scenes. Here's an example of how to algorithmically place grass in the game "The Witness". https://youtu.be/Ge3aKEmZcqY?t=965 So if you use wh

I signed up for a newsletter called Modern Different that curates products. It's easier to believe the motivation while it's small. Also asking on reddit on the appropriate subreddit is pretty helpful.

Yeah, it's a pity. It use to be a no-brainer shopping at Amazon. But now, I waste more time sifting through a bunch of cheaply made home goods that I'm just more inclined to look for sturdy, well-made products elsewhere. Also, it

A centralized database is not observable by default. It’s usually not directly connected to the internet accessible by anyone. Databases as they’re usually designed today are updated in-place so they have no provenance of the data. Blockcha

I usually have the opposite problem. I end up writing clean code because it's the only way I can keep everything in my head, and hence can keep things straight. But it does make me a slower programmer than others, since maintainability

It's easy to set up a mailing list. Just sign up for mailchimp, or any one of the many newsletter products like substack or tinyletters, just to collect the email addresses. Not many people regularly read RSS anymore, sadly.

Is this based on personal experience? Because the article says that it’s production ready and many industrial environments.

Good job reading the code! It's as you should do when looking at a project. Is there a way where the image can be replaced with another based on the scheme? I didn't see any, which achieves the same result as putting the image on-
