Here is a good mix of you're looking for an intro to French house. It's a lot of old French classics. https://youtu.be/q1osOsxMEkE Some search terms also might be "future funk", "nu disco", &qu

I listen to french house or chilled out trance when I'm writing code. I didn't read the article, but I definitely notice that rhythmic lock-in that comes with doing that. My guys give me shit about it sometimes because I guess I l

I thoroughly enjoyed this post, so maybe I'm biased. I think AI is extremely overhyped and under performant. In fact, I think a major strength of AI is founded in the technical ignorance of certain project managers or decision makers.

This is overly pessimistic. Some companies do that sort of thing, but as consumers we have to look carefully and investigate companies to find one's that dont, and that we trust. Somebody already mentioned apple's e2e product, and

What do these projects hope to gain from pushing bad tech or broken ideas? Why do so many founders WANT to bust a Theranos-esque move? Its nuts

Since one of these buzzword bingo projects are posted so often, can someone explain what this does, and why I shouldn't just use datomic anyways?

That's such a good explanation! I chose the spreadsheet life instead of the space life, but I especially love difficult ideas explained simply! Is the unexpected element of this that it is weird to think that very small black holes int

If I hadn't taken LSD, I never would've started my recovery from alcohol. Nothing in my life is as valuable to me as my sobriety is and has been, and I don't see myself ever making the painstaking effort to get sober without

Some of my biggest stressors in the past came from trying to change people or believing that I was entitled to have people act and react the way I wanted them too. I don't give that privilege to others and I don't expect anybody e

Macros going wrong with complicated builds, implicits galore all over the place, just the usual complaints. The thing that makes sbt difficult in practice for me is twofold. I don't want to deliver hackedy shit to a client that I then

This is kinda true, but not in the sense that you mean it. And maybe not across the board, but my clients are very comfortable with the (very few) F# solutions we've done. Ocaml clients generally use it for stability, or correctness, t

Disclaimer : I'm nobody important, but I do have an opinion If scala team were to disavow sbt, that'd be the single best thing they could possibly do for the ecosystem. I used to write a lot of scala, and working with sbt was enou

I don't think high standards are the same as expectations, and it seems obvious to me how that misunderstanding can lead to poor management practice. Some people, given a certain task, max out lower or higher than others. Which is, peo
