I don’t think you will find a silver bullet. If you switch away from shell and its set of trade-offs you will face another set of trade-offs with the next language. The art is to select trade-offs that benefit the main line of work you want

For my most common uses cases - daily jobs to fetch data from remote APIs, clean, transform and combining data sets in a batch pipeline - the startup time has not been an issue. Most steps are short scripts of a few hundred lines and compil

Now that you mention OCaml, I have been using the OCaml dialect F# for scripting. It works just like any script (.fsx files) and you can also compile it ahead of time. There is a REPL for experimenting and the type system provides for a sup

The article is concerned with the USA and apparently this country is a laggard in introducing a linked bank account for government payments. For comparison, the Danish government - in no way a fast mover - introduced a similar scheme, “Nemk

Agreed. I prefer to keep the wines off the table until they have opened up properly since there is a tendency for them to disappear quickly once the tasting starts. It also allows you to keep them a bit cooler for serving which has a huge i

If you for entirely avoidable reasons end up with wine left over, a simple low-tech storage trick is to pour it into an ice cube bag and store it in the freezer to use for cooking. It saves you the trouble of drinking flat wine and makes f

I remember Nicholas Joly [1] recommending to do a longitudinal tasting of his wine, drinking a glass from the same bottle every day for a week, just to see how it evolves. He is the kind of fascinating winemaker that does not even have elec

Let me clarify that the “solved problem” I was referring to was that of the complexity for the building owners if they thought the only solution was to roll their own charging and billing solution.

I think the market has already solved this with companies like E-on and the like solving all the complexity for both public and private charging stations. Perhaps there is still an open market opportunity for this in your local market for e

One of my favourite applications of knot theory is to classify all aesthetic tie knots, using topology to uncover unknown sartorial gems. It is a great piece of research from Cambridge, a short and accessible paper called “Tie knots, random

According to the Danish Serum Institute, the UK is sequencing about 10% of the positive test results. The UK is considered a leader in this field in Europe including the British Isles. For comparison, the Danish Serum Institute has a sequen

For Clojure, VSCode with the Calva and clj-kondo extensions installed is a pretty good, free starting point. Also, if you are used to the Jetbrains tools like IntelliJ, try the Cursive IDE (paid).

A great data source for EU excess deaths is Euromomo. They publish official national mortality statistics weekly from the 26 European countries. Graphs and analysis as well. https://www.euromomo.eu/

I can give a few highlights: it had an exact model of a personal economy (savings, pensions, debt, houses, cars, boats and other assets) and the tax system and a projection engine capable of predicting the future cash flows for a person. Th

It was developed by a Danish startup named Financys, which was acquired by Schantz (another Danish company) and this was later acquired by Keylane from the Netherlands. Unfortunately I don’t think there are any good, detailed information ab

In a previous job we built an advisor for banking and pensions using a mathematical optimiser solving over a model of the Danish tax rules. It would normally find enough tax savings to retire about a year earlier by finding the best savings

There is also the tax perspective: in many jurisdictions dividends and capital gains are taxed differently, often with a higher tax on dividends. In that case buybacks are better for investors.

I might also add that the WHO (the Word Health Org, not the band) has issued guidelines about how to classify these deaths, including answering the question about co-morbidities. They recommend a very inclusive count. But to put that in a r

It is very important to be aware that there is no uniform way of counting these COVID-19 deaths. It is not just Iran. For example, I believe that Belgium has a very inclusive count (proven or suspected) and other countries count only if pro

Regarding your second point, Windows 10 has a feature to lower the volume of other apps when it detects communication activity. I got bitten by that using another VoIP client (not Skype).

For the good parts, I would add the effortless type declarations to overcome “Primitive Obsession”, the immensely useful pattern matching to ensure you cover all edge cases and what I really found to be the killer feature: Type Providers to

What you are describing is closely related to some of the ideas of Intentional Programming. The core idea is that the code is just a model (AST, graph...) and your editor projects it to whatever format or syntax you like. Development then i

The Danish Serum Institute published an alternative workflow for testing without using the scarce reagent. Instead, they use an old method of heating the samples like boiling an egg. See Fomsgaard and Rosenstierne’s preprint on medrxiv here
