I did this (unkowingly) with photography equipment. Didn't work out. 1. I started with a "nice" bridge camera - the Panasonic Lumix LX100. I liked shooting with it but I quickly hit its limitations and because I loved photogr

There is (for me at least) something very deep (in the brain) regarding numerals and basic math. I am quite proficient in English, but always do arithmetic in my native Bulgarian and then have to translate the result (unlike other speech, w

It's partnership when things go as intended, it's "boss" when there are problems. Just make sure there are no problems ;)

Investors' job does not stop with giving the money. Very often, on the contrary, they are the people who will help you with connections to next round investors, will help with IPO, etc. They will not do any of this if you don't do

Ugh, come on, for the vast majority of people, marriage and family are the best things in their lives. From what I can gather from the article, the author has neither been in a startup, nor in a marriage, yet they feel qualified to mentor p

That won't happen soon, as there are too many people in the US government whose salary depends on this not happening.

No, JS runtimes don't do "fine" with concurrent operations, unless you are "waiting". If you are doing heavy processing, the whole service freezes. That's indeed the primary reason I need worker threads. Erlang

I agree in principle, though in this particular case io-ts does not tend to produce incomprehensible code. Maybe if juniors use it, it would, but it's easy to encapsulate the IO codecs in their own modules where the functional style of

I am writing an app that needs worker threads both on the backend and also on the frontend (because of some heavy processing of large amounts of "objects") and my experience with TS so far is very poor. JS runtimes are just not su

I will only nitpick on the part about TypeScript not being type-safe enough, where extra fields are possible or wrong types can be sent over the wire. io-ts [0] completely solves this issue, to the point where I don't think it's l

It's not hard per se. It's hard to do correctly only when you side with the advertisers' interests.

And also, people usually take a people-concept and apply it to tech. "It can't work in tech, so it won't work for the market". On the contrary. Libertarianism does not forbid a company to implement whatever jailed garden

Aren't you afraid that you are going to forget a passphrase that you don't regularly use? That's my main concern with your approach (I have thought about it and didn't do it because of this fear)

Yeah, although Python was my first language and I used to love it, now I realize it's "the worst of all worlds". It's superficially easy, but it both runs slower than "real" languages and programmer productivit

Hans-Hermann Hoppe - Democracy: The God That Failed This is a seriously mind bending book. You will never again see the world the same way. Not an easy book to read though. You will need to follow the references (and they are many), as othe

Only difference is that apparently fascism violates the ToS and knitting does not.

So, Trump memes are now fascism? Are we going to be surprised (again) when he wins again?

It's true, but still the driving force is a common denominator of "what people want".

This article shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what capitalism is. Capitalism is not an entity that has its own free will and desires. Capitalism is a projection of what people want. If surfers want what they want, then that is capita

I definitely recommend trying them, as it will be a great learning experience. It will probably even make your TS better. What you won't be able to do is to actually ship a product easily, as the ecosystem is virtually non-existent. Do

The thing is... it doesn't seem to matter. After 30-40k lines of TS code (coming from OCaml) I am still to find a bug where OCaml would have done a better job, except for missing features like nominally typed primitives and no pattern

To me, TypeScript is "perfect". Unlike other strictly typed languages (looking at you OCaml, ReasonML, Haskell), TS has never prevented me from achieving all three of: 1) Be type safe enough to guarantee practically bug-free code

There is not turn-off at all. If you read carefully you will see that they will still collect the data, just that they "promise" won't assign it to you. Yeah right :)

I'm not even talking about big O or algorithms & data structures. I'm talking about the basic concepts of function, iteration, abstraction, indirection etc.
