Oof, why do this? What is the reasoning?

Reason is a lovely, OCaml-esque language in the same functional vein, but I would say Gren feels like a great spiritual successor to Elm. https://gren-lang.org/

It could obviously live side by side with an actual subscription, and I’m sure this has been gamed out and called too risky in a hundred meetings. But newspapers need to reconcile that in an era of hypersmall publications (aka blogs, substa

“Won’t someone think of the costs!” You know prices would be even lower if we let all our rivers and groundwater be polluted, right? Led piping was cheaper than alternatives too. Perhaps lower prices is not the all-important end you assume

I just asked him. “Teflon is a high molecular weight polymer made using perfluoronated surfactants. Technically, PTFE is a fluorine-containing material but it is not the PFAS pollutants of recent concern. In the conventional synthesis, the

This is no doubt correct. I’m almost certain they’ve expired, though I’m not going to include links here and associate my real name with my HN acct. But the reason they haven’t been acted upon (that I know of) is that economic difficulty of

My father and his colleague developed a scalable process to manufacture Teflon without the use of PFAS back in the previous century; they had both been recruited heavily by DuPont which made it relatively easy to sell the patents, at which

Remote work may be “harder” in some dimensions (communication barriers), but there are tradeoffs for removing those barriers. In-person costs: Reducing your talent pool size, raising the cost of that talent, an increase in the politicizatio

As someone who writes daily (primarily novels), I can’t say this has been an issue for me but I may not yet understand your approach. The site does not make it clear what would be different about note taking in your system. Things I like ab

I will answer and you can answer this question: Why is the government involved beyond that limit in this case? Could it be they want to give the average person peace of mind while retaining the flexibility to handle a restructuring however

Because you don’t make depositors responsible for banks’ mismanagement unless you intend to create a depression. Are you truly proposing that every time a bank fails we make everyone who kept money there take the hit? A return to the 1920s,

This is the smoking gun, imo. It doesn’t matter if it’s accomplished via software, AI, or anything else—a blatant attempt to coordinate and coerce landlords into a given pricing regime is the definition of price fixing. I suspect there’s a

This seems similar in approach to Lamdera for Elm. Just curious, did you take any inspiration from that project or arrive at this solution independently?

Can you explain the type checking a bit more? Is this occurring within the JIT for compilation efficacy or is the goal here that you would get gradual type inference across a codebase facilitated by some kind of LSP?

Coin market cap volume numbers are known to be easy to manipulate, but exchanges like FTX and Coinbase do not likely engage in these kinds of manipulations as they don’t seek to legitimize themselves through nonexistent volume anymore. But
