I've been using containers for a while, and have to say that UX wise, it needs work, it's too easy to inadvertently leave a container tab, and it's easy to get them confused. The effect is "invisible", so there&#x27

Haskell continues to punch above its weight in divisiveness. When was the last time you saw an article hating on F#, OCaml or some lisp get this kind of attention? Haskell hate has an distinguished history. In the 2000s OCaml was "winn

Haskell has almost no syntax, even `$` is a userland function. Are you arguing against the feature of allowing ad-hoc infix operators in userland?

The slavish apologizing is absolutely risible :) The US regime has (a) committed repeated genocides including children against Native Americans and black slaves (b) perpetuated the Jim Crow laws including terror, bombings and lynchings agai

Until the UX problem is solved making it infallible for noobs to manage PKI, it's probably better for the bank to manage it. Your ideal world at a minimum requires: - an on-card UI. Yubikey-style one-button-tap is not enough, you actua

Your example raises a question I've never found a good answer to: Why use `JOIN` (and `INNER JOIN` and friends) at all when you can write the exact join more accurately IMO with WHERE clauses (and using "*=" operators), and t

Indeed, institutional traders and asset managers are still the "buy side" and as such are not crazily more informed than retail. The real sharks are on the sell side, using low-latency arbitrage and massive leverage, and have the

I think a rational argument for it is that stereo panning of drumkit elements are not something you can hear from the audience, and maybe even from the stage. Can anybody even remember having the "audience" stereo experience in re

The article makes it pretty clear that the villian is Yelp (and Google Reviews, and Trustpilot etc). It's no different than any other social media moral hazard: Yelp makes money in spite of their being fraudulent reviews, and won'

Amazing how many NYCers miss out on Rockaway Beach. Much shorter drive. Accessible by subway. Just a better beach than Jones -- far superior food and entertainment at the concessions, and way way bigger.

The rush to adopt LLMs for every kind of content production deserves scrutiny. Maybe for you it isn't "avoiding work" but there's countless anecdotes of it being used for that already. Worse IMO is the potential increase
