(Assuming ADT here refers to Algebraic Data Types, as opposed to abstract data types) Swift, Kotlin, Scala and Typescript all support forms of ADTs, just with different names. - Swift calls them "enums" (like Rust) - Kotlin and Sc

Thank you for this. Reading these comments I thought I stepped into some alternate timeline when we don't already have widespread ML all over the place. Like, nobody does rules-based image recognition for a decade now already!

Static types are really good for describing invariants, I definitely agree. But it does also describe a lot of implicit invariants. The LoginUser you've defined has the implicit invariant that a LoginUser only has 3 fields. It is very

I don't have a very strong opinion about that change specifically. I think they could have kept their cake and ate it too by solving the schema evolvability some other way, but I also suspect those other ways will come with tradeoffs t

The problem I think is that when you define an invariant, you are also defining an infinite number of "implicit" invariants. And it's hard to know a priori which of those implicit invariants is not an actual invariant over ti

> By contrast, motor vehicle accidents and liver disease each account for less than 2 percent of 2006 mortality, and so their contributions to the total recession-induced mortality decline are only 6.9 percent and 2.6 percent, respective

How likely is it that smokers will smoke so much more during a recession, vs during a non-recession, that the effect shows up in nationwide mortality rates?

Are there any good Blazor websites out there? I'm not sure if I've ever encountered one in the wild, but to be fair I wasn't really looking.

If you're using macOS's Mail app: - cmd+A selects all mail - cmd+ctrl+A archives all selected mail. I do this practically every day, after reading any mail that is important. This keeps me at inbox zero all the time.

I much prefer partial application. It just makes more intuitive sense - you take a function with many arguments, "fix" some of those arguments, and get a new function out. No need to mess with argument ordering, or all that. It&#x

If I had to choose, I'd probably give up Netflix before I give up Google, even if Google decided to fuck it and charge everyone $10/month for searches. Search is just that valuable to me.
