They are obviously not the same. But, as a founder not coming from a rich family, you may get at best 2 or 3 chances at making a decent business. So now choose: 3 chances of winning 1M at 100% probability vs 3 chances of winning 1B at 1% pr

My point is that all the numbers in a dependency configuration file should be automatically converted to strings, because they are really strings. Yaml doesn't do that.

On a general case, yes. But we are talking about Stack, a system for managing software dependencies. When was the last time you put numbers intended to be real numbers in a dependency declaration file? In different words, when was the last

I don't think going down was a priority. When you are under attack, you want your archers to rush up to the walls, with some extra fighters for good measure, and you don't want them to go down until the enemy has decided to leave.

You understand the data structure. Probably the chaining rule, even probably the monoid in the category of endofunctors. What you don't understand is the existence of it. Monads is a solution for dealing with IO in a strongly typed pro

He doesn't understand them, therefore monads are insane.

Yes, it's goddamn immutable collections and Optionals. People still hate it because it's immutable, therefore you can't do hashmap.add(), and it's hard because they can't randomly return nulls, and it's slow be

> Java (and preferably Kotlin) are a lot more serious about making sure your code is robust before it compiles. You are making great points for Rust, Ocaml and Haskell.

That wasn't a flaw. It was a "feature". Can yo you think of a way to increase market awareness of Java other than putting an icon on every computer in the world saying "Your Java needs to be updated" every two weeks

Gravity batteries are practical if you don't have to construct most of the infrastructure. Examples would include a bunch of mountains already there to construct a dam and have hydro pump storage, or an unusually nice and straight mine

All right, now assume making a 120m deep hole is cheaper than building a 120m tower. BTW, how many 120m deep holes have you seen in your life? You seem to be expert at them. I have seen a few 120m towers. They call them skyscrappers. Anyway

So the plan is code a global try/catch, maybe write an e2e test and hope for the best? Sounds foolproof. I'll continue not doing decorators.

So how do you test that the method, the path and the body parser are correct? I have had bugs in all of these three.
