I was looking to sign up and see if it could work for our sales team but it looks like that is not possible without an invite code?

I've played this game before. It's great if you never change what you're doing. If you get a new project that requires a new IDE or VM solution you spend hours setting things up again. The mouse is more flexible and better su

I loved this paragraph: You observe this with types. Dynamic types feel faster, at the REPL, when you’re coding at 1Hz, because you’re not factoring in the (unseen) cost of future bugs, the cost of refactors you won’t do because you do

I think wild real quick might be a bit extreme but cyclomatic complexity[1] is a source of unnecessary complexity in software. While not a problem per se, all unnecessary complexity adds up. Leading to the eventual death of the project[2]

My church has one couple where both spouses were born in the same country. We span many past religions and world views. Poor backgrounds and wealthy. But we all now hold a very similar world view. So we don't have the kind of diversity

Yeah I don't mind it. It forces a structure on you. I'm a fan of having common structures in a language.

You could have out of order function declarations.

by xupybd 3y ago
Yes you get abandonware but in other fast moving language you get so out of date that you might as well have been abandoned. Unless you're spending a lot of time upgrading.

Yes I think the The Functional Core, Imperative Shell Pattern is a good way to do things. But somethings take a bit of ramping up. Like the option type, it is great and works well with pattern matching. If you don't know why exhaustive

I find I spend a lot of time building records for JSON data. Type providers are nice but I've found them to be a little untrustworthy. Normally now I ask Chat GPT to create an F# record from the JSON. Then go through and check everythi

I love F#, I use it professionally. But I agree with everything written in this post. I hate that F# is not a safe choice yet. I wish that it were but it doesn't have the critical mass. That means hiring others is not going to be as ea

I went to a GP. They referred me to a sleep clinic. I had a consultation then a referral to the test. The test was basically a data logging pulse ox meter that was mailed to me. I wore that overnight and sent it back. They then recommended

I was attempting to contrast the usefulness of sigils vs static typing. While they're different things the do serve similar purposes. They restrict a thing so one can reason about it. At a meta level they do similar things. The reason

I disagree with the author, all of those bugs they list cause people to get upset. Not harm. You are talking about the cost of quality. Software quality comes at a cost. It's up to the business to determine how much it will spend on qu

Sorry for the ambiguity, this is after sleeping with a CPAP machine. The improvement has come from treating my sleep apnea.

This really brings home the need to save for retirement. I don't think I'm saving enough. Not in my 40's yet but the sole breadwinner for my family and wages are not as good here in NZ for devs as they are in FANG companies.

We have a developer contracting in South Asia. It's going well the only tricky part is money transfers. A lot gets eaten up in the conversion and transfer fees.

Sigils in Perl were awful. They didn't behave concretely. Sometimes it was sort of a type annotation sometimes they were a weird incantation. Things like implicit scalar conversion @foods = qw(burgers fries shakes); $length = @fo

You still can. And will probably be incredible as a developer in that domain.

Have you thought about counseling? It sounds like you have a good income and might be able to afford one. Often people think they just help you with mental illness but they can help you figure out your goals.

Ask HN: Has anyone else found coding easier when using a CPAP machine?

We used a toothpaste with novamin in it. That didn't help her. She doesn't eat much sugar. She's 40 something kg and eats very healthy.

I once got in trouble for using a switch statement to build a finite state machine. It turned out that language had only recently supported the switch statement and using experimental features in production was a no no. I still hate perl so

Sometimes you don't need to rule everything else out to be confident in a diagnosis.

I think that the way you propose does preclude a fair trial as it biases the jury but we've already covered that and come to different conclusions. I agree that free speech has significant value and restrictions should only be put in p
