I'm going to disagree with you there. It's a convention that comments refer to the following lines of code, not above. Reading from top to bottom or bottom to top has nothing to do with this. A better way IMO is to disambiguate wh

Thrush combinator is neat. Here's another without using recursion: const thrush2 = (value, ...funcs) => funcs.reduce((value, func) => func(value), value); const thrush3 = (value, ...funcs) => { for (const func of funcs)

Nah, none of what you described (encapsulation and separation of concerns) is specific to OOP, you could do that with FP or imperatively with plain structs and functions. It's more like you are starting finally understand how to progra

It's interesting to read that you slowly shift the narrative from accepting your faults to making excuses to blame externalities, like inherited narcissism and ADHD. Look the word up, it's essentially an umbrella term that pretty

I don't think shared accounts violates the guidelines since no accounts are routinely created from sharing it. Having an identity to relate seems to be an ideal preference, but not a hard requirement. Some people do routinely create ne

Off-topic, but I'm really amazed that HN account lasted for 2 years. I've seen pwdis accounts before, but they quickly get vandalized and locked out. Is this a lucky account, or is there a mod intervention? Edit: oh wait, never mi

Sorry, I have no reason to be afraid of AI taking my job, not now, not ever. You seem to have a condescending idea of what programming is, given how you describe it as simple and dumb, but I can assure you, programming would be one of the l

Nothing. Do nothing. Bore yourself out of your mind. Resist wanting to do anything useful or productive. Look, listen and smell your surroundings. Remind yourself what it means to be alive. You now have time to gaze what the sky looks like

Strange, the only place I only ever see someone mention hpmor is on HN. In fact, I first heard it from here.

The word completely does over-assert that quote, but it's disingenuous to pretend that the quote does not follow from your overall point. People with good "theory of mind" would supposedly read between the lines, but I gues

As someone living in one of those countries, I beg to differ. Cheap maybe, but mobile internet is neither fast nor stable.

Strongly disagree. TS is very useful for UI, among other things, especially for lots of throw-away or prototype code that changes fast quite often. TS makes it really painless to move and change things around, as opposed to plain JS where t

As someone considering whether to learn rust or zig next for hobby projects, this does seem a pretty big deal breaker for zig, at least in its current state. But since zig still hasn't really even reached the 1.0.0, it is expected to h

> Always aim for declarative programming > limit the depth of the function calls These two are at odds with each other. The more declarative your code is, the deeper your function calls will be. At the extreme case, you will have an D

Ask canned questions, expect canned answers as well. Dumb or lazy incompetent students will look up solutions to problems like fibonacci sequence or sum of numbers without understanding them or solving them first on their own. This has alwa

"Once" still qualifies as rare. And are you sure it was really a typo, and not intentional or some foreign word?

You mean japanese? They do mix up r-l on pronunciations, but I rarely see a written r-l typo. Plus, it looks the HN title was manually typed, so it's unlikely you would mix up r-l with a reference text. Most importantly, the submitter

For those struggling to google what PIP means in this context (as I did), PIP means Personal Improvement Plan. Being put on python pip sounds kind of funny though.
