This is what you get when you enact monstrosities like GDPR.

Sure, here are some postconditions for ChangeOil(): - engine has appropriate amount of oil in it - oil filter in place - drain plug torqued correctly - dip stick present - oil cap on No matter what the outcome of the operation (ie error pat

Good interfaces should primarily have reasonable and well documented pre and post conditions. This is very apparently not so in the oil change example in the article. It's completely stunning to me how frequently this is forgotten in s

How do you verify information right now? If I read it in a "trustworthy" news source (for me this is newspapers like New York Times, Washington Post, etc), I know that these institutions have a reputation to loose which incentiviz

I don't share your concerns. If the difference between a good and a bad news article is whether a real person has written it, how can AI generated news prevail? If nobody can tell the difference, does it really matter who wrote the art

The way I think about this is that type computations can be used both for type constraint checking and for code generation. In that sense, C++s template metaprogramming system is a superset of TypeScript's, which can only do checks as

Pretty sad that computations on types look like C++98 in Typescript when C++ itself has moved on to have much more concise ways of performing computations on types in C++11 and 14 (see boost hana).

Have you ever used a language where types can influence runtime behavior? It's an extremely powerful tool to do things like choosing a specialized sort algorithm based on the type of contents of array you are sorting. This has zero ove

One major downside of TypeScript is that types are not available at runtime and that computations on types can't be done by writing regular TypeScript (both possible with code generators of course).

What does it mean for Signal to "pull out" of the UK? How can the UK government enforce this law against an app whose makers have no physical presence inside the country? Force phone makers to ban the app from app stores?

The average US commute is 41 miles (round trip). If people biked that then the obesity problem would be gone. Not very realistic though.

The article is comparing biking vs not doing any exercise. Not sure how applicable that is for the average person. Does not apply to me at all.

The major issue is safety. Bikers are much more (3.4x to 11.5x) likely to be fatally injured per mile travelled compared to people driving cars [1]. Better bike infrastructure is needed. [1] https://bicycleuniverse.com/bicyc

Depending on who is making the purchasing decision this (sadly) might not be relevant. Looking at you, SAP.

There's a tradeoff. Engineering time is expensive. Machine time can be expensive too. We need to optimize these costs by making most code that's not performance relevant easy to read and then optimize performance critical code pat

A hammer and an axe have use case overlaps too. Just because you can build front end apps with both doesn't mean that they serve similar use cases. Elm is more of a framework.

One is an imperative gradual opt-in superset of JavaScript, the other is a strictly typed functional programming language with a fairly opinionated runtime.

They were never competing with each other and serve completely different use cases.

I also wonder where the widespread sentiment is coming from. Everybody had been expecting a recession on the basis of prediction markers like inverted yield curves and because it's historically due. That being said, no actual economic

If this does not happen in the next 15 years in developed countries then we have a giant problem. I understand that installing a gas heater right now might be a reasonable personal decision, but I don't understand how one could argue i
