Found this post also in /r/collapse. Maybe it's a one-off freak event, but reading about this makes me really depressed.

Two reactions to this blog: 1. What does it feel like to work a job that's pretty morally unambiguously doing good? (Making people laugh) 2. Their interview process sounds a bit like tech take home assignment. If they reject the interv

Relating to 1), check out miniKanren if you're interested. It's a wonderful piece of software: http://io.livecode.ch/learn/gregr/icfp2017-artifact-auas7pp

I find CoC to be much better than YouCompleteMe for both C++ and Python. Regardless, it's still not as good as Jetbrains. I don't know if it's a fundamental limitation of the underlying language Server (ccls) or CoC has issue

Yes that's right. They won't ban you for having non-terrible opinions, but they'll downvote you into non-existence. I tried participating in voat for a couple of days before leaving forever.

India being "a counterweight to the rise of authoritarianism in the 21st century" while Modi and BJP are in power. This is so misguided its funny.

If you use cpp17, you can use the built-in std::optional to solve this problem.

When everyone uses chart.js or bokeh or matplotlib, you don't really see graphs that go out of the normal range of visualizations supported by these libraries. In a way the ability to use generic code hampers creativity because it&#x27

Only Mozilla can make me pay for Google services like Email/Calendar etc. I think I subconsciously trust the brand more than most internet companies out there.

It's really telling how during this entire BLM revival, white people have been recommending this particular book - written by a white author. Even in the midst of a racial awareness campaign, black voices are muffled.

"My late friend Alain Fournier once told me that he considered the lowest form of academic work to be taxonomy" That's really unfortunate. I think a lot of the point of science (maybe even the entire point?) is to model the w

This is incredible. I can't tell how much this is cherry-picked examples vs. revolutionary new tech.

I use sqlite in almost all cases. You wanna store a file? Just put it in as a string. The amount of benefit I have gained by defaulting to sqlite for most tasks is immense.

This is the right take. Same thing with 2D games to VR/AR. Infotainment systems to Self Driving, Real Player buffering to Netflix. And the list goes on. You can't get this progress simply by making better abstractions. You can onl

But surely it's a step towards more safety. Compare to passing char * around or ref/ptr to string. Sure C++ doesnt have a borrow checker but these types encourage the idea of "reifying" lack of ownership rather than keep
