Yes, redux is a much saner way of mutating state, but the pattern is closer to FP than OOP. Remember Brian isn’t attacking state-management in the front-end or anything specific. He’s attacking the entire paradigm of object oriented prog

Welcome back PG! HN: How do you get an intuitionistic understanding of computation itself? While Turing Machines kind of make sense in the context of algorithms, can I really intuitively understand how lambda calculus is equivalent to Turin

Thanks. Never knew this. But the fact something like this - https://www.zoho.com/officeplatform/integrator/ exists is useful information. So I wouldn't rule it out as "pure advertising".

The market for end-to-end encrypted office suite is pretty immature. There're products like Tresorit[1] and GraphiteDocs[2], but they are more like text editors, than a full-featured word processor that newsrooms need. One good google

There are amazing people out here on HN who can help you with better answers to the question. Why don't you post an Ask HN and see? Or better talk with people in person about this. As for me, Yes, I might pick traveling and having fun

True. Too much of anything is bad. I keep this mode on for as long as I don't get mentally tired. Usually, that's a span of 2-3 hours. Surprisingly, at the end of the day (typically after two/three of these zones) I feel more

When I do dev stuff with a slight sense of urgency, the probability of my mind wandering somewhere else goes down drastically. At this mode, my mind uses all available time slots to make the best of them. For example, by the time my program

Yes. UK’s biggest company is not a train engine company. UK learned that it could generate far more revenue by selling financial services with its rich legacy along that line, than export train engines that it invented. India took a similar

Folks who suggest dealing with poverty before launching machines to space: the economy doesn't work like that, FYI. If a country acquires deep technical know-how on engineering, it means the country can use it to spin out new industrie

Oh, I have this bad habit of going down the rabbit hole of fundamentals if I feel I lack the basics of a concept. While I still haven't grasped the need for calculus in language design, I've come across pieces on how Lisp is based

Came across this just when I was looking to deep dive into calculus, typed lambda calculus, differentiation, etc. I somehow have a hunch learning these, will help me down my road on language design and implementing compilers. Only midway, b

These API improvements (aka potential situation to refactor code within the next 3 - 4 years max) is why I think compile-time frameworks are going to win eventually. People want to build UI. They don't want to migrate from function com

Your point is completely valid. I wish I have that discipline to go over my bookmarks and read interesting items. Most times, I head over to HN and pick up more items for my reading-list than to go over my bookmarks. This project should be

Auto-purging with an expiry date is a brilliant idea! I have this huge repository of bookmarks too, most of which has become too outdated for me to visit again.
