My proposal: add “→”, with the following semantics: Instead of having programmers slog through an if statement: if err != nil { return err } Allow them to instead write [the superior]: err != nil → { return err }

Being purely neurological would strongly suggest uniform distribution of the disorder _itself_ — but absent a purely neurobiological _test_ for those symptoms, uniform distribution wouldn’t imply uniform detection. “ADHD is primarily a neur

Also the implementation is all wrong. The proper way to add an element to a linkedin list is to send the element an email titled "I just requested to connect", along with a "view profile" and "accept" link.

partially a conflation of terms, here: while the article discusses vertical integration, the main thing people think of for "businesses built explicitly on unbundling" is horizontal unbundling—picking a niche that is solved OK by

Legit—`da` and `di` are the ones that trip me up the most. Edits much simpler than that are often the same keystrokes as vim (`A`, `C`, `.`, `/`, etc), and those much more complicated would have kicked me into visual mode anyway.

I found myself coming home to vim recently, as well—I just now call it [helix]( https://helix-editor.com ). Cuteness aside: for all the awesomeness that a tailored vim setup provides, I haven't been able to keep one stable si

Honestly, I took it as an axiom so as to steel-man the article's argument; if there were no difference between prescribed and unprescribed use, any dismissal of concerns about overprescription would be trivial. But if I had to argue fo

Classic Gemini excuse-making. Clearly these kids' problems are caused by $CELESTIAL_BODY being at $PLACE during $TIME; idk why they keep whining like this! But also: focus isn't distributed bimodally; ADHD is in some respects a ma

Context (I work at Oscar): Oscar (no longer a startup; IPO'd last year) ran their own mesos cluster for the same reasons anyone uses k8s today: to help teams deliver in parallel. "Startup headcount" can mean different things

You’re right that classes exemplify declaring requirements upfront; the GP is limiting scope to what happens at compile time. Taking an argument of class Bar typically means taking pointers at runtime to a subclass’ method implementations

Benefit of the doubt to the author: they caveat the asking-lots-of-questions with "If [they] don't have enough information". Were they familiar enough with the checkout system to answer the question off the cuff, they may wel

You misunderstand. The author _laments_ that the conversation got hung up on the first question. The points you raise (e.g. "do my existing programmers have the necessary skills", "will this make future projects faster to dev

Even though it'd be a while before this really affects the Chrome codebase, it's a real testament to how well Rust nails the safe-but-low-level niche. Google does not lack resources to tool (or staff!) a C++ codebase correctly, no

You can put them in the interface, and then you can use the interface as a type constraint for generics: https://go.dev/play/p/U25AzZndz-7 If you wanted to argue that you can't use it everywhere you could use

Huh? You can put concrete types in interface definitions as of 1.18. See the spec: https://go.dev/ref/spec#Interface_types

“Want B” is not the same as “B”. “Should do A” is not the same as “A”. The reverse of “types prevent certain kinds of bugs” would be that “all code which doesn’t suffer from those kinds of bugs is typed”, not “if you don’t want those bugs,

It’s not. dbt goes out of its way to avoid having to parse SQL into an ast; Markdoc is Stripe going out of its way to parse input to an ast. dbt’s approach is more similar to the ERB system Stripe mentions Markdoc replacing.

Had the same thought, reading the strings package. Why’d they mention letters? Were Ken Thompson and Rob Pike even aware of the concept of Unicode code points?
