Even if you signed up a ship to home large box of healthy food, you’re delusional if they would divert their shitty food budget to it. Everyone knows eating healthy and exercise is good for you. Yet few people do it, to include the middle a

While I fully agree with F# being the step child of C#, an easy way to see what’s better is how many features get copied from which language to the other (hint: C# is like China copying tech from F#). Start with F#. Learn the basics well. P

It keeps a structure and defines the types for you to some extent. But obviously if there are breaking changes just like with anything else....things break.

Can you expand on this? Haskell or F# have less noise than Ocaml. Plus with F# you can just pipe things neatly. I started and still love Python, these languages have ALOT of stuff going for them that blows the standard language used nowaday

There is a better approach by using statically typed functional languages like F#, Ocaml, or Haskell. They don’t need to have the type declaration as most things can be inferred. So you get the feelings of writing Python with the full suite

Talk about burning money. Treasury bills are returning negative real rates. Back in the 80s there was a brief window where treasury bills hit close to 15% and that’s because they were thought to be suspect. Perhaps we should get back to rat

Last I checked most of Europe is expecting interest rates in the NEGATIVE. In the US interest rates are being chained to the floor at 2%. So yes, 1% is beyond massive and the difference between 1% to 2% isn’t 1%.

This seems....odd. HK is now a city within PRC. So is Shenzen a "developed" area? What exactly is the distinction between Shenzen and HK now that they aren't exactly proven to be a city-state?

I’m all for proper saving and loaning of money. I’m not exactly eager on profligate government spending. On the one side, Puerto Rico’s government officials shouldn’t be borrowing money and spending lavishly when they know they can’t pay ba

The point of this I thought is to unify the virtual system with a physical product, in the pretty cash. So it isn’t just the chip now, is it? Otherwise why not just... use a hardware wallet and use bitcoin ? I do agree that people can’t pic

next they should make an article titled “Why getting into great physical shape requires a lot of effort”. Is anyone really learning anything from this article? Or is this just a general complaint looking for a boogeyman.
