Google doesn't need you to pay, they only need you to do your thing using Android, Chrome, Google Analytics, Google Search, Google Maps, etc. They will monetize on your usage. I'm OK with the concept, but the implementation ethics

This is not a simple problem. Language barrier alone will prevent people from going to Austria, never mind the weather.

My own experience is the opposite. My son learned to use a balance bike since 2 years old, a couple of weeks before his 3rd birthday we got a regular bike, on the same night we ran alongside him riding his bike grabbing his jacket in case

You miss the point. Using the style attribute everywhere causes duplication; using css classes can quickly lead to bloat where you have lots of unused classes. This is a way of paying only for what you actually use.

Well the immutability hype allowed the author to build the previous incantions of the library. At this point, I hoped everyone understood the tradeoffs of using abstractions. Otherwise we should all be programming on assembly.

ORMs are different from SQL generators; an eg: typesafe sql generator can be a great thing; the problem is mapping sql results (wWhich are basically rows of data) to Objects. Objects have identity, but an SQL row can be anything, even if mo

The way I learned is that you try not to meddle unless you have wisdom (meaning you have some kind of enlightenment). My opinion is that unless I was the one tormenting other beings, I wouldn't meddle in other person's affairs, sp

This is correct; the "no kill" rule is something you aim for, it doesn't mean you necessarily achieve it. In Mahayana Buddhism there's a story about the Buddha's prior lives, where he decided to kill someone out of

IIUC it means they should at least be killed in a more "humane" way, instead of being boiled alive.

Most comments here are probably from people that never meditated. You can be hooked on something like an app for meditation, and yet while meditating you can be detached from that. While you form a habit you can use tricks to get the habit

A data lake is a system designed for ingesting, and possibly transforming lots of data, a "lake" where you dump your data. This is different from an eg postgres db (a single source of truth for a crud app for example), because it

Excellent point. I would add there is a hidden dimension that is defined subjectively by the programmer (eg static vs dynamic) which means that there is probably multiple ways to define "simple" (depending on the user's taste

Sure, people could write books before the printed press, but guess what? You lower the barrier to entry and stuff happens. If the LAPD declares it an epidemic, isn't that good reason to be at least slightly alarmed?

You can have monads in clojure (eg: http://funcool.github.io/cats/latest/#monad ) but the problem I see is that they are infectious and kinda force you to use them everywhere. In other languages, it's more pal

In my opinion, science has no tools to verify life after death, regardless of what one believes. Besides, the onus of (dis)proving life after death is for the individual, not for the religious group. Most of them already have their systems

This is crazy. You suggest that if AWS changes billing somehow, his startup should shoulder the cost? If you don't trust it don't use it.

Rust wants to be the new C without C warts, using the compiler to ensure memory safety (up to a point), promoting immutability and having generics baked in. I'm not a C programmer, but I think Rust can fit almost everywhere C can fit.

If vaccines bring hospitalizations down they are already a win. The percentage doesn't say much about the number of hospitalizations. In a country where lots of people are vaccinated, I would expect lots of vaccinated people in the hos

In Mahayana tradition, there are many many Arhats (not only in the Mahayana but in the Hinayana too), and some Bodhisattvas, even today. Of course, they don't announce it but they were certified by Patriarchs.

You imply that the bulk of the costs are labour costs, but medical invoices in the US suggest otherwise.

There was an SQL layer but performance was sub-par IIRC. There was also a blog post somewhere explaining why it's probably not a good idea to build an SQL layer on top of a KV store, devil in details, etc. Edit: found it https:/&

This is what I imagine experienced clojure developers can squeeze out of a language like clojure. I would venture that they can train a junior programmer in a couple of weeks, and make them productive very fast. I guess they could make it w

Surprisingly, there are already integrations in my home country; I took a look at tink [1] some time ago (no affiliation whatsoever) and they look legit. I'm sure there are more SaaS like them. [1] https://docs.tink.com&#x2F

I would love if clojure had a solid gradual typing story just as ta has. There is core.typed library but I haven't tried nor is it widely employed. However I think its a valid trade-off, and with sufficient experience you learn to navi

If you have the chance to work with a team, you can get proficient in a couple of weeks. What you don't know right now is probably how the glue code for a cljs project works (eg shadow-cljs) and the core library.

It's a trade-off, you trade certainty of types validated by the java compiler that comes with alot of ceremony with conciseness and agility provided by the repl, the downside being you need to ensure the result via tests and discipline

Although I agree with you in principle, in practice most of js devs never worry about such things. It's mostly library authors and such. And there are cases where a != a, I think for NaN (not a number).
