It's good to see Java is becoming better and iterates faster. However, I found it's weird that hosted languages like Kotlin, Clojure or Scala are more approachable for me as they are working fine with JDK 8 like 'libraries&#x

It is very cumbersome to not having the 'copy' or equivalence so that a lot of functional languages have similar things: F#: let updated = { old with prop = newValue } Elixir: update = %{ old | prop: newValue } Even JavaScript hav

There are diff algorithms, but no caching layer. Also Phoenix is written in Elixir which could easily handle millions of stateful connections.

Can confirm. I'm in Beijing and it's wonderful indeed, I'm not with my family though. I already worked from home for a month as a developer, and we have confirmed we'll WFH for the next 2 weeks at least. There's no

I totally agree with your point, but it is very hard for the US to implement healthcare like in Europe. There are things like sugar tax in Europe, why? Because the governments spent so much money on health care. Corporations selling tasty b

Then you'll be pissed when you take a look at the issue list... Again, like others said it's more likely you are just upset about the emoji.

It's much better to be self-enclosed than just to be faster at constant times. Just like most Emacs functionalities are written in Emacs-lisp, and most Elixir functionalities are written in Elixir. It's more consistent for open so

Wow, I hope this could make current JavaScript workflow more slick and simplified. Also the readme is doing a good job for answering my doubt at a first glance - why a Corinthian helmet rather than a Roman one :) > Rome has a logo of an

It really depends on the game. Getting specific on the skill works very well on simple FPS games, just like bots are easily beat all of the top players. Basically this is true for the games that rules are extremely simple, there's no p

For Clojure, there is Datomic[0] (a DB with S-expression Datalog) and DataScript[1] (in memory Datalog for browser) which has a fair amount of usage. Also, there's a bitemporal database use Datalog name Crux[2] seems to be quite promis

I feel burned out from time to time. Then I found this really works for me: don't spend vacation all at once, instead, spend it on every Wednesday. It's not just one day off, it actually changes the workdays from 5 days to 2 days.

I'm a Web developer the most of the time and I tried to jump back and forth between languages and communities in my spare time to check out if there are some ideas that could interest me. I found dynamic language communities are most i

Totally agree on there is no shortcut for "hacking" languages. But at the same time "The quality and type of practice you do matters a lot" as you've said. And also, for learning languages, one way could be signific

It's good to point it out. In the third world, if you hire 100 people for a 5-man project, people end up doing nothing but their own things. It's bad but it's obvious that something is going wrong. In the first world, if you

I interpreted as "grandma" as well since it's a super popular Russian term on the internet (eg: YouTube) nowadays.

It's not structs in C, it's more like records in Haskell. If you have two records {a: 1, b: 2}, those are equal because they are the same. If you have two structs {a: 1, b: 2}, those are also equal but they are separate instances

It's horrible when the employer don't lower their expectation. We had some campaign on remote working, actively adjust the toolset/processes/expectations, and we don't usually measure by output so it's a rather

There aren't many. Traditionally, Chinese people would rather endure. There are a lot of families play mahjong all day long, but it's unfortunate for those who don't have 4 players in the family - most of the public places to

It can only be more complex, then be simple. If Typescript never existed, people got used to simple nominal typed languages like Java would never notice there are much more advance type system ahead, and what can it potentially bring us - t

I don't usually use debuggers in functional programming languages. Since it's mostly expressions I usually use REPLs. But for imperative languages like Go, a fast and good debugger can boost up productivity a lot if properly used,

In China, it's very common to leave your property out of sight for minutes and it would be stolen. Collectivism isn't really associated to this topic at all.

I remember there was a YouTube video making comparison between Japan and China. Of course Japan is much better in many obvious ways, and the comment sections also reflect most people prefer Japan over China. Then I saw a Japanese commented
