As far as commute: the express Flatiron Flyer (FF2) makes getting from Denver to Boulder about 35min or so.

I'd encourage you to look into Kotlin. It's got the 20% of FP features that give 80% of the benefits, while still having generics and a thriving ecosystem (JVM). As someone with a similar personal trajectory, it really hits the sw

Sounds like maybe we're talking past each other. Would you mind clarifying how you're defining a DSL?

I'm not fully sure what you're disagreeing with. Of course it's possible to write an overly abstracted DSL in Lisp, as it also is in Java or Go. > The idea of having a higher abstraction is to make the problem domain map m

Not the grandparent poster, but stepping in. Lisp, due to its easy metaprogramming, gives abstraction enthusiasts rather more rope to hang themselves than languages which make abstraction inconvenient (e.g. Go, which has a simple type syste

There have actually been a couple apps which tackle the simulate-trying-clothes-on problem, notably Avametric ( https://www.avametric.com/ ). I remember the CEO showed me some of their generated models a few years ago and it

Typing a couple characters is generally enough to cut out most of the noise, so long as you know vaguely what you're looking for and the methods are sensibly named. I don't think it's the built-in constructs which are hard to

Discoverability via autocomplete is much higher in the second one. Extension methods probably seem really strange to anyone coming from a FP background (myself included), but in practice they've ended up being pretty useful when paired

The reference to Java/Javascript Ham/Hamster was to give examples of two things which share syllables, but are actually completely unlike each other. Ham doesn't come from a hamster and Javascript only borrowed Java's na

100% agreed, and that's essentially the advice present in Mark Suster's blog post "Do You Really Even Need VC?" [0] [0]: https://bothsidesofthetable.com/do-you-really-even-need-vc-7...

EBIDTA certainly has merits and drawbacks – like any other metric – for measuring the health of a company. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/ebitda-margin.asp

The title is probably because those platforms are more of a given. IE8 is somewhat old, so maintaining compatibility with it is a differentiator over other virtual DOM view-layer frameworks.

One counterargument is that he might have thought there was a chance he'd be asked to step down, and thus his days pulling that kind of money were limited. Just speculating, of course.

There's lots of research to answer the question of why the internet is different than books. For one, books take extended periods of concentration to digest while many applications on the internet are being hyperoptimized to give a con

Agreed. Perhaps perhaps the author should consider, er, mark eting this as an alternative to raw HTML rather than to Markdown.

Your example doesn’t account for substitutes, though. Before commercial flights, civilians couldn’t fly . Before Hybridizer, programmers could still use CUDA.
