I never really thought about it, but a succinct way of putting it would be: its a discussion board for nerds (some start up entrepreneurs). Ycombinator is a start-up incubator, too. Don't know that much about the history of the place.

Don't be so harsh on yourself. It seems like your boss maybe didn't hear or properly understand you reaching out for help. It was a brave thing to do, since it shows vulnerability. But don't be too harsh on your boss either (

The Arc browser has a feature called Easels that does this; I quit like it even though it lacks some polish. I imagine they want to do more with it in the future The browser is in beta and macOS only currently, but a friend recently invited

All great points. I'd like to add that depending on the game or game type, you might want to also incorporate "drills". It's easier to practice some things when not under pressure or overwhelmed by lots of decision makin

Ah, I understand that part, but I assumed they were looking for the most ergonomic/succinct and idiomatic approach (ie not needing to reach for a crate). But it doesn't have the same performance characteristics as using itertools

FWIW, I think people mostly have these issues with async code, because the syntax is reminiscent of Python or Typescript, but actually behaves very differently under the hood. So, the similarity is only superficial. Most of the time you don

I think that PHP isn't that bad for some use cases. What I really disliked about PHP as a developer was how much control the host has over tweaking the runtime; this can be"problematic" in some shared hosting setups. However,

But even in Cpp, you need to eventually iterate over the underlying iterator to get the results of the map. So, if you want to debug print it, you still need to iterate over it regardless. Regarding the mutability and collect issues you rai

In the vector example, why not just `collect<...>()` and debug print that, or am I missing the point of what they tried to illustrate? Also, I do agree that C++'s approach to formatting the date was more user friendly/ergono

But, I don't think the analogy to black slavery is meant to be there. It seems to me that some people just want (or need) it to be there. Also, at the risk of being painted a heretic/racists/whatever. I'm not sure why

I don't know how I feel about that analysis. Just because something is inspired by historic events (slavery in this case), doesn't mean it's advocating those events as good. Is it dark? Yes, and I think it's meant to be.
