I use Karabiner for switching alt/cmd and fn/ctrl. I also configure iTerm to switch some keys - apple really annoys me by using a diff layout; so many years of muscle memory aren't immediately applicable.

Personally I feel that my mind is registering what each type does, kinda like building a mental dictionary. Dynlangs also have types but in terms of reading code it feels you can just skim through and skip the details. I guess there is a di

It's a double edged sword - onboard some devs on "advanced" scala code and let me know how the 10x is working for ya. I also feel that sometimes types cause additional congitive load - you have to mentally model the types and

It doesn't provide any value to the regular user; most people I know receive lots of emails mostly from body shops but rarely get a job from LinkedIn. The UI is designed to make it hard to configure privacy, and to make you casually sp

I take it back, you are correct.

Yes, my bad. Although the point still stands, visitor is normally an alternative to languages without dynamic dispatch.

The visitor pattern is an alternative to dynamic dispatch. Normally instead of using dynamic dispatch you inverse caller and callee roles and pass 'this'. The article uses a variation of the classic visitor pattern.

One thing I don't like in the rails/ar mindset is that they hide behind ruby. Example, some ruby methods are provided by active record (projections) but others may not (.pluck). I prefer my queries predictable. Of course if you ar

While I generally agree with your comments, I still think it's absurd to have such high interest rates. What's really ironic is that the bailouts were payed with taxpayer money - they shouldn't be printing money but taxpayers

How can you even compare a luxury item to getting an education? Besides students are in a disadvantaged position when they really want to get educated. They have no bargaining power. Just because it's legally ok, doesn't mean it&#

Stable APIs are not strictly an engineering problem, it's also a business problem. In fact, most of the engineering that occurs is due to business problems. Most of the instability around software engineering comes from business requir

I'll give an example: I maintain a personal clojure/angular app for my girlfriend's students. One in a blue moon she asks me to fix things. Last time I reinstalled node, and the app was written against node 0.x, now node LTS

If you ever want to explain what its like to fix bugs in a new language, just point them to this article; you basically guess how things work until you are proven otherwise, no matter how incredible and without proof the explanation my be.

Do a deep dive on Saramago. You can start with Blindness. I'm biased because I'm from Portugal but the man was a genius. In the end you may leave with more questions than when you started the book,but you will be satisfied!

Golden cage, golden handcuffs means that you are a prisoner of your own success - you earn alot of money (by some definition of "alot") and cannot afford to leave for a lower paying job because of the upgraded lifestyle.

I want to warn my fellow readers that this point, besides being absolutely spot on, is insanely hard to do. The golden cage is real, at every level, beginner to advanced. Only when you say no to a better paying offer you can affirm that yo

There was experimental work to see how fast a scala compiler could be, but I think it's still far from production ready, was more of an experimente: https://github.com/gkossakowski/kentuckymule

I believe the fair comparison would be performance per dollar - comparing similarly priced components. Same sockets and cores can have wildly different costs.

Good answer. Also be careful with how you define OO object identity. Some ORMs cache in-memory objects (eg: lookup by id) and determine if an object is the same through equals() implementation and hashCode(). IMHO ORMs are nice if you use a

But you would have to adjust for cost of living right? Electricity bills can easily go over 200euro for a family of 3 in the winter, median wage is probably around 1k...
