No, that’s exactly the parent’s point. Date always refers to a single concrete point in time, a time zone is only needed when parsing the date or formatting it for output.

Much more interesting (IMHO) is the Giant Steps animation by Michal Levi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh6WTAHKYTc It perfectly shows the structure of the music. The later music video One (set to music of Jason Lindner)

Again: if they choose one you’re not happy with, you’re free to decide not to read the content. Otherwise I don’t see how the situation is different from not paying for a meal in a restaurant if you’re not happy with the payment methods off

There is a big difference between print and web: by the time you rip the ads out of the newspaper you have already made it to the ad statistics (“our newspaper sells X copies daily”). On the other hand, with an ad blocker an ad load is neve

They have to waste your bandwidth in order to pay for the content you came to read. If you’re not happy with that, don’t read it .

The point is that if you don’t like an ad-supported website, you should simply not read it, not strip the ads and read it anyway.

I love and believe in what I am working on, I usually can’t wait to get out of bed and start programming, and that’s exactly why I force myself to stop after a reasonable number of hours. Because I know 80 hours a week (or 40 hours a week

He explicitly writes: Even now, though, I continually doubt myself. The point is that this feeling doesn't go away, so just try to ignore it, keep hacking, and keep building experience.

Specifying exactly what is needed is coding. The hope for some kind of high-level language you would generate the actual code from is decades old, see compilers. (And it does reduce coding times tremendously!)

I think that’s a part of the addiction. But then there’s the other part that makes you take the drug even when the pain is gone, and that’s the trouble.

I always wonder if this could be done once and for all languages, instead of Ruby making bundler, Haskell Cabal sandboxes or stack, Perl Brew, etc. Is this where Nix is going?

My point is: I tried several times to write something in Haskell, I really want to like the language. But each time I felt too stupid for it, it just feels like too much work. In Elm I got a working app in a day and enjoyed the experience.

I am one of the people who are interested in Haskell and find its documentation lacking. I don’t miss comprehensive language books, I miss module documentation. It almost looks as the Haskell community has something against examples in docu

Do computer drivers have to be perfect, or is it enough to be much better than human drivers?

Isn't it up to the viewer not the publisher to decide what is trustworthy? In theory, yes. In practice, a lot of people fail badly, to the point major contemporary decisions are now driven by intentionally false or heavily skewed inf

Nobody is forced to use Facebook, but the fact is that for a vast number of people it represents the main source of news. Which, if this source can be easily gamed, is a problem. Since how do you “convince others that they are being misled”

The piece by David Beaver seems quite poor to me. What sense does it have to turn the Orwell’s sixth rule (“feel free to break the rules if they stand in the way of plain speech”) into a paradox? Its meaning is obvious. Bashing the active&#

Haskell, seeing I still have so much to learn. Elm, because there seems to be a sane web frontend language. Swift, because I can do daily work in a modern language with so many parts done right.
