During a recent developer meetup in my country, I went to an elixir workshop where the host (an independent consultant) confided in us that several of her main clients had asked her to not reveal that they use elixir - they're apparent

It's gonna bite us in the ass pretty soon, because the direct consequence of this effect is that the ability to launch a successful network depends on marketing - you need to achieve a critical mass of users pretty much instantly, sinc

Do you have your MBP screen's resolution set to "more space" on system preferences -> displays? Are you using an external monitor for FF? (Just curious about how your setup differs from mine)

It's really weird, because some people I talk to has never noticed a problem, yet I've been able to reproduce it (unwillingly) every time I've tried to install firefox on any macbook - different machines, different OS version

I'm aware that I'm reaching a Cartago-delenda-est situation here, but since I see some mozilla devs here I must ask: Is there any news about the deal breaker bugs that are still keeping thousands of people from moving to firefox o

I think the argument for using universal chargers or battery packs makes sense for phones, where it is certainly understandable that you'd find yourself somewhere with a phone but without means to charge it - most people carry their ph

I'm not sure that's entirely fair, as it doesn't address the posible disparity of sentencing for an existing crime. A specific action punishable by a year in prison in my home country might be punished with a decade in anothe

Perhaps I didn't explain it well - my point was not that you need TS to validate your inputs, it was that you can use TS to guarantee internal consistency of data, and that said internal consistency will work well as long as you ensure

Typescript has been useful for my team to reduce the number of unit tests and constant checking of number and order of parameters in functions, presence of null/undefined values, etc - when compared to JS obviously. It works particular

As a spaniard, I checked out the topic of Euskera's origin for a bit after several trips to the area left me a strong curiosity in the topic. What I found out is pretty much that every bit of information has to be taken with a grain of

The start of the article is a very compelling description of why you should split your code into smaller components instead of just having a single structured procedure. Levels of abstraction, testability, etc. - Pretty basic stuff I think

My experience is that you always use a type system. If the language doesn't include one, you'll end up making a bunch of extra tests and control code that in practice is constraining your data to resemble a type. It's a worse

Who knows, if steroids are indeed a net positive for the body they might even have legal choices available by the time they're adults - the trend of reviewing currently banned substances seems to be taking pace with new attempts to use

I've always wanted to try that, seeing as short term use of steroids seems to not have many harmful side effects - I'd probably have done it already if it weren't for my complete lack of knowledge about how to do it safely (w

I think OP's comment was a commentary about the oil industry, rather than oil and derivate products themselves. As in, there might be a lot of downsides to reducing or getting rid of plastic use, but the fall of oil giants is not one o

Indeed. In my experience the bug is usually overlooked because people won't notice that they only have performance issues when the browser is open - for most people, the browser is always running nowadays.

Our reasonsing wasn't "I don't expect them to be able to learn" as much as "it doesn't seem to be worth the extra effort to have them learn this skill". For us, reduce didn't make code more performan

by kace91 7y ago
It could, but it's not in our hands. And to be fair to management, there's not much of an argument to be made to shrink the pool of candidates so we can use reduce, if we're not seeing that feature bring anything to the tabl

At my current project we try to do everything as functional as possible (we're backend developers using node). After a year or so of trial and error, we have pretty much stopped using reduce. The reason is that it pretty much always ca

I understand that, but I assume both of those are still "shallower" ways of resetting than actually switching computers, which I've done several times (for unrelated reasons ofc) and I've seen no improvement...
