"In case X, do Y". You can make that pretty terse with clever pattern matching, in term of amount of keystrokes typed, but someone will always come in and feel they can save even more keystrokes by not handling all of the cases.

I really like the idea of "sound" programming languages. Elm is a great example of a reasonably simple, very sound programming language that force you to handle all cases (short of a compiler bug, hardware failure, or an explicit

I was raised in the residential neighborhood of a suburb...unless you're in a village where your neighbor is 300 feet away, if it's not the subwoofer, it's the kids screaming around the pool. If it's not that, it's

in addition to that, in urban areas you have to deal with quiet hours usually being 11pm to 7am, and they're rarely respected. Hard to sleep in when the beeping backing trucks start at 6am and the jack hammers start at 6:30, and you ca

Could it just be that you werent used to getting a significant amount of REM sleep?

Absolutely not a doctor (or even really know what I'm talking about), but I've been hunting down a sleep disorder I've been dealing with for a decade+, and there's at least a couple of things to consider (someone please

Was pretty funny when we argued it. I explained http verbs to them after being told it was "THE REST STANDARD (TM)", and when I linked to them the http verb definitions, the reply I got was "Oh, I guess they must have changed

How would you do a endpoint that creates, for example, a new resource? Like, if I have a todo list and I want 2 todo items with the same text. My create todo endpoint will have to be non-idempotent. That's what the semantics of a POST

not nearly as bad, but I've worked at a company that tried really hard to be as pure REST as possible, closely following the http semantics for everything... except they used POST for idempotent actions and PUT for the non-idempotent o

Not 100% sure I get the last point, since NYC programmers don't exactly come in cheap either.

Not just skills, but connections as well as the willingness to essentially leave their normal life behind. Honestly, the skills are the easy part, which is why a lot of people see what they do and think "Welp, I could do this too!&quot

Feels a bit weird saying this, but the "problem" (I use the term loosely) is how lots of people don't care about money. As companies like Google are currently learning. When you have thousands of employees who don't give

At the end of the day, everyone's only in it for themselves one way or another. People at the top want to secure their spot, people at the bottom want everyone to share, and there's some people who are up but can't sleep at n

Dunno, don't have kids. I just know I see the little kids walking around with their parents whenever I'm unfortunate enough to have to be out that early, and I assume hundreds of 9 years old didn't all have to go to a birthda

Biological clock aside, the kids might not be able to sleep earlier. Can't go to sleep before 7 if the jack hammers are going on until 7, for example.

No. My point is that I'm every bit of society we consider sleep as something you can cut as opposed to something critical. Yes my examples were different, but they have the same root cause: quality of sleep isn't considered a big

My workload in college was insane. For one of my semesters I had zero social life and slept a day out of two, one out of three near the end. It was awful. I didn't have a job and lived with my parents who handled food too. Not many peo

I don't have anything backing this up, buty personal experience is that NIMBY is partly because of the lack of proper building code. People are TERRIFIED of neighbor noise, most of which could be dealt with with better insulation.

by shados 8y ago
I'll push this one step further: why is our entire society built around the idea that sleep literally doesn't matter? - Elementary school starting so early all the kids are half asleep in class. - College + Sleep? Not gonna happen

by shados 8y ago
Not sure how that would help. Anyone can publish anything to npm, it doesn't even need a repository. So unless the source code itself was hosted on npm, and the entire toolchain was controlled by npm, there's not much to do.

The conventions, naming, etc are not Cycle (or even JavaScript, in most case) specific. It's just straight out of the reactive programming ecosystem. I think Cycle uses XStream these days, assuming it didn't change again from last

When React was new and compilers/tooling wasn't that good it was pretty common to use it without JSX. JSX is pervasive because the tooling is now first class (and you'll need it if you make a non-trivial app sooner or later..

I'd expect more like a deep LinkedIn integration to facilitate recruiters...as much as the thought makes me cringe.
