Time is extremely scarce for poor people. Cooking healthy and cheap meals means research, planning and batch meal prep. This also requires being a forward-looking state of mind. Personally, I think the government should be investigating way

An adult can either be a net tax contributor or a net tax burden over their lifespan. The probability of them being a net contributor is much higher if they are well educated and not malnourished. The effect is stronger at younger ages. It’

Except lots of engineers now sling AI generated slop over the wall and expect everyone else to catch any issues. Before, generating lots of realistic code was time consuming, so this didn’t happen so much.

You haven’t tried a wide variety of languages then. I have found the language chosen massively shifts what is possible to write and what is convenient to write.

Indeed, the middle ground depends on your perspective. In my view F# is actually the middle ground between pure functional programming and traditional OOP! F# is much more than just C# with lambdas btw. If you want to write .net code in a f

The dream of many a disgruntled intellectual teen is to have a dark personality, yet be so good at the hard skills that people put up with it. The most unproductive form this can take is when dark personality traits are seen as a signal of

The alternative is an explosion of REST API routes as each application has different requirements. It is much simpler to have one graphql endpoint that is flexible enough for all consumers.

RBKC are a really nasty bunch. Just recently they removed a cycle lane from their high street (only one in their borough) after complaints for a few right wing celebrities.

I would skip the source texts because they are often hard to read. Unfortunately ground breaking ideas and a clear expository style rarely go hand in hand. Philosophy Hour with Brian McGee was a great BBC show from the 70s where they interv

That is a myth. For example, NHS New Zealand predates NHS UK by around 10 years.

After the first lock down the government allowed everyone to go on holiday abroad. In theory people had to quarantine on their return, but compliance was very low and spread during the flight back was inevitable.

Thanks for this comment. Very interesting. I think Wiggle and Chain Reaction have now merged, but both are struggling. I was wondering if you could explain why bike components are so expensive in the first place? For example, why can a bicy

Having spent time with languages that use c syntax and ones with whitespace based syntax, I much prefer the latter. I think c syntax is seen as plus not because it is better, but because it is familiar to more people. See also ReasonML

Why should leisure time require a car?

We should be encouraging people to keep their car for longer and to use it less. Even electric cars have most of the negative externalities of regular cars (with the emphasis moved around a little). The UK government should make life withou

There is no friction to using C# libraries in F#, it’s just that you will be using the imperative / OOP features of F# rather than the functional programming ones.
