I've never had the issue of mistaking a Unicode character with a ligature, specially when using Mono fonts: a ligature will be 2+ characters width while a single Unicode character will only take 1.

Signals are a step in the wrong direction. They provide extremely little value over RxJS Observables (ex. avoids glitches when you have diamond-shaped dependencies), but you sacrifice so much in return, like control over async operations. T

Are you interested in Haskell devs? Just sent an email with my CV.

Are you interested in non US/Canada candidates who are available during US East Coast working hours?

by valcron1000 4y ago
Just wondering, is there any legal reason why you only accept US based candidates if the position is fully remote?

by valcron1000 4y ago
Still the best choice in my opinion. Batteries included for pretty much anything and RxJS is a delight. I really never have to think about state management issues. My only concern are signals. They seem like worse Observables just for the s

I'm well aware of most payment options, I even have the Payoneer card. As I mentioned in other comments, I suggest that you look up how those services actually work for Argentinians and why they are not enough. Crypto is the best solut

Look up the current situation in Argentina, in depth and using local sources (not some random US newspaper) like r/argentina and r/merval.

You don't know enough then. If I were to use Wise I would be getting half salary due to my country "regulations", not even mentioning that I wouldn't be getting dollars or the fact that it would be nearly impossible due

Without crypto I wouldn't be able to work as a software engineer for international companies (unless I were to work for free). Maybe you should dig a bit deeper before making such comments

Except I cannot give cash to someone who is not in front of me, while I can send crypto to anyone in the world. You don't need intermediaries to transact in crypto, that's the whole point

> but it also eliminates the ability to claw back scammed money I got scammed 500 USD using Wise, so it's not like these services help you in any way.

If reading is harder than writing code, why bother with tools that deal with the later instead of the former?

I'm supper bullish on Apple on this one. If a company can figure out how to properly do AR is Apple. We might be approaching the next revolution on personal computing after the iPhone.

Same issue when the first smartphones were developed: how do you fit a camera, phone, PC, GPS, etc. into a single device. It's just a matter of time until it gets figured out

This post is literally the "Ackchyually" meme. There is a reason why "fast and loose reasoning is morally correct".

You don't need to use them in "big enough problems". I've used them with great success in a microservice architecture: had to consume some events, do some processing and spit out some data into Kafka. Absolute straightfo

I suggest trying to build an app using Angular and just observables to handle all state + interactions. In my experience, it's the best way to build an UI where "many things "inter-depend on each other". It's on a w

As someone in Argentina, let me explain my situation: As you pointed out, not many employers are willing to pay directly in crypto, that's why a lot of contractors - myself included - are willing to use platforms like Payoneer, Wise, e

As someone who uses Wise out of necesity: no, it's not better. Wise can freeze my account whenever they want. They can go out of business any day. Fees can change over time. Transfers can take a long time (ex. wire transfers can take s

From the top of my head: - First class functions (pretty much all languages) - First class null values through Option/Maybe (several languages use nullable types like Typescript but it's an approximation to the real thing)

Haskell is also a 30 year old language and I think it has a lot more to say about the future of programming than Python

AFAIK, Nix does not work natively on Windows (you need to go through WSL), so it's not better in that regard.
