Yes, they would be just fine. “Southern hospitality” really is a thing here, and our cities are much more diverse than what one might think if you haven’t visited. On my street where I live in my very affordable single-family home, we have

Or to put a more fine point on it, if I’m writing SaaS-style web applications, which as most do are CRUD implementations, where do FP languages and concepts help me out? That’s the question I haven’t seen addressed well in the beginner mate

I’ll bite. I haven’t done huge dives into it, but I’ve definitely gone through the Learn F# interactive tutorial and spent some time working through some Scala lessons a while ago. I would love to be doing more FP work just because of the t

There are solutions like that out there, and they work pretty well, but tend to also be pricey. See Red Gate's SQL Compare: https://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-compar...

That all seems pretty reasonable, mainly geared towards reducing coordinated amplification of content and not just about taking down bots. The original Twitter dev post [1] lays it out quite clearly. I run a single bot for myself [2] that t

I'm sorry, but I don't feel the tone of the letter represents how any compromise or progress can occur. If you are completely banned from associating in any way, shape, or form with someone who espouses views different from you, b

For those of us still trying to wrap our heads around the value you described here (btw I do like the level of simplification you've introduced), can you explain how the coin would effectively be used in the cloud-storage protocol yo

GitHub actually straddles the line a little bit. You'll note that when browsing around through folders in a repo on GitHub that you get the faux loading indicator along the top, and then it shows the contents you're navigating to.

These are fantastic technical reasons when considering a SPA vs. a traditional server-side app, but to me the largest consideration, outweighing other technical decisions, is the overall experience the end customer is going to need and expe

Self-employed people are in the same demographic as other individuals without any access to group insurance, such as those working lower-end, lower-paying jobs. As a matter of sheer statistics, a larger proportion of this population ends up

There are actually very good reasons for keeping the group market. For example, many larger companies will be what is called "self-funded," meaning that they are actually fronting a large part of the healthcare costs for their emp

Seems like this could be fun, but I feel like a really need an example URL that I could copy and paste in to see how it works. Right now I don't even know what subreddit I'd head into to grab as a sample.

At the risk of sounding shallow, the salary (and NOT "competitive rates" or "DOE"). I don't want to waste my time or a potential employer's if expectations won't line up. It's not, of course, the only

Once the runtime is bundled in, what does the size of the standalone application come in at? Curious if it is close that of a bare Electron app (around 50-90 MB, depending on the platform).
