My all-Haskell company has avoided the use of Lens whenever possible and I haven't missed it for a second. Its payoff doesn't seem to justify the cognitive overhead (concepts, operators, etc) that it brings. I'd highly recomm

My favorite was the satellite hacking scene back in the early 2000s. It started earlier than that, I know, but my exposure was around that time. It's fairly well documented these days but there was a very fun game of cat-and-mouse betw

I think their point is that what is readily learned or understood (and one's own intuition) are both informed by what they're already used to. So many of us are used to the UI of one or more ecosystems that you're going to re

Yeah, zendo always proved to be a great game to break out at conventions. One of my favorite rules was "an even number of colors". Easy to state but hard to pattern match.

Yeah. And the exception (as a desktop user) - ArchLinux - really proves the rule here. I like Arch for a handful of reasons but the documentation is really the standout one. But my experience with FreeBSD's docs are even better - and m

In the early 2000s I had a program on my girlfriend's, now ex-wife's, family computer that would kill the AOL process when sent a specific string over a TCP port so that I could call her when her sister was using the computer. Tha

I advocate taking the lane in many situations but it's worth noting that you can be passed in your lane with less than 1 ft of space even if you're taking the lane.

"Facing Unpleasant Facts" is a fantastic collection of his essays. Highly recommended.

There are competing bottom bracket standards now? Oh my sweet summer child. Winter has finally come and the bottom bracket standards are everywhere.

At that scale the absolute cost difference is pretty small, right? None of your dev team has a background in sys admin or managing a DB? You're going to be in for a period of difficulty while you gain those skills and that's going

I like this approach and almost considered doing it after reading this - or probably only opening the last few hundred files - but then I realized that the recent file list probably gets me 99% of the way there. Is there anything you get by

FWIW - cast iron is incredibly cheap.

Do we just disagree that the current situation with respect to car usage/traffic/crashes/pedestrian safety in cities needs to be seriously changed or do you have some better proposal? Would it really be much of a problem to t

Ohh, that sucks. You could try running separate Firefox instances in different profiles, then. Domain muting shouldn't apply across those.

I think what you're missing is that Emacs might be a good fit for things other than "the main idea of Emacs" (whatever that is)

It sure would be funny if Nubank was the company from Neal Ford's story about someone sneaking Clojure into an enterprise years ago by claiming it was "just a Java library". I doubt it is but would be a pretty funny tie in.

For sure. If there's any other kind of help you need, though, you should mention it. I'm sure there are a lot that would be happy to help. I think a lot of us are looking for an outlet for our (highly overlapping but not super wid

I don't believe there was a way to automate the certificate signing from StartTLS or WoSign, was there?

Yes

Agreed. I named my cat Ogodei because I got her while listening to that series. In fact, I just went and paid for those 4 eps to re-listen. I really can't recommend HH enough and that series in particular.

Do you really think that what we do and don't have to think about today is at some holy division of things that are best left automated (e.g. garbage collection, platform independence, serialization) and things we have to do by hand? W

I love discussing the Monty Hall problem with people who haven't been exposed to it before. I always make it clear that the host knows what's behind each door and will open a door with a goat. People still, most of the time, get t

It's a similar (but better) reason that motorists pull into crosswalks and don't come to a complete stop at stop signs or red lights or go 5mph over the speed limit. In their mind there's very little risk to doing so. So many

100% this is how I'd write it (except probably with pure instead of return). I don't get the desire to sprinkle bind throughout the other replies in this thread. I feel like it makes things less clear.

This stance is infuriating. Stop letting the best the be enemy of the good. There are lots of ways that the imagined self-driving future can either be a terrible non-improvement or simply take an order of magnitude more time to come to frui
